View Full Version : GE Kit installed

got most of the GE kit installed on the weekend, so I took advantage of the last day of "spring cleaning" water restrictions and washed my car Sunday arvo...
I like the aggressive look, but it's not over the top.
I know, it needs a cut and polish. the left hand rear pod needs to be modified to fit the dual exhausts... or I could just leave it off? I'm also considering TL/TW colour coded side moldings instead of the grey strips... what do you guys think?

yeah, here's a couple from the other side...
you can see that the rear flare really needs something to connect to, but unless you look right at it (in the flesh) it's not too noticeable.

Lookin' real nice there mate.
Very aggressive!
Need some more pics without the shadows though.
Interesting looking lady in Purple in the background. lol
Looks great, on the mouldings note - I recommend KL-KW, the touch of chrome is just enough to break the colour enough but not over the top. Looks amazing. Kind of like a calias

yeah, yeah, yeah... next time I'm taking photos *away* from my house. the purple lady is checking out the dodgy red Celica parked in the driveway over the road. I should have taken some pics of that kit!! :sick:
not really interested in putting chrome strips on the car. most of my exterior mods are trying to down play the bling look.
my wife was impressed with this kit (which actually says a lot). not over the top aggressive, but you can tell it's got an aggressiveness to it that the stock bumpers/skirts don't.
I will endeavour to take some better pics (maybe with a camera, not a phone) tonight.
cheers,

For some reason, that actually ties in very well, just my opinion but I'm not a fan of the GE kits, especially the front lip which to me looks like an old guy wrinkling his lips together.
But looks pretty good on that car I have to say, The black tail lights suit it perfectly and the NON-BLACK wheels are a refreshing change.
Defiantly a "subtle" looking magna but defiantly not one under the hood:cool:

Looks really good. :thumbsup:
KJ grill plus some fog lights would finish this off nicely, I think.

cheers for the comments guys.
I have a couple of ideas about the grille, but I don't think I'll be going for a KJ one. too much bling (and everyone's got one!).
as for foggies, I'm using the left hand vent for air intake, so that's a no unless I change the intake system drastically.

Nice work - understated, but purposeful

On a this car, I agree, however an ei version might work - just the inner grill, leaving the surround black.
