IMO the middle section that goes over the grill completely ruins the look of the front end. The magnas have a unique grill/nose arrangement which looks very nice with a paras, covering it up just makes it look like any other generic riced up car.

Same applies to the snow plough.. the rakeish factory bar gives it a nice V-shape profile, which you lose with a potruding plough-like bar. Not to mention you'll be scraping something every 5 minutes, and will probably spend what's left of your budget constantly reparing the bar :)

Looking at your sig, I think you have exterior appearance nailed anyway, I'd really leave it alone. I'm usually not a fan of chrome rims at all, but the simple spoked design makes it look quite nice indeed :thumbsup:

Maybe he doesn't want it to look like a generic boring magna.

But having said that, if you want your car to look like a GTR, buy a GTR :)

Are there any equally insane side skirts or rear bar covers? It will look like a snow plow if the rest of the car doesnt look as low.

Zelious sold the mould for that kit to car mate. And like ashneel said it sits a hell of a lot lower than the vrx bar. When synrgy had that kit we scraped getting out of an under ground car park with stock springs in

Cost for buying this carmate kit 1350- Cost to make it a finished respectable item, from
a pack of illustriously ill skilled, untrained English devoid cartel- get your mastercard ready-
Continuous..................Take it from me - perhaps the most recent member to dabble in
the world that is CARMATE- if your on a budget allow the cost of the kit to repair said kit-
then add the cost of paint- then add the cost to fit- oh and then dont try to fit it to a TJ
onwards- or heaven help you a verada. Oh and buy a spare bar- for when they go out of business.
