why is it that all these hybrid bars are starting to pop up now:P
i know of 2 ba bars on ef's
and 2 ef bars on ed's lol

also is it just me or do those scoops look huge?, if you look at johns photo shop, i thing the scoops are to big and dont really flow with the rest of the car ie: lights etc..., but i cant really judge atm, i need to see it on a car and painted

Yeah I think the bar looks a little too much like a V8 super car, if thats the look you want, then thats great, but other wise I prefer the more elegant lines of EFFalcons efforts.

But I reserve final comment till its fitted and painted, mine front bar looked crap till I finished it, now most people like it.

i remember when i was doing my bar, i always had doubts it'd turn out looking good on my ed in the end like in this pic,



it looked really weird, and looked too huge, and just out of place on my car, but once i pained it a similar colour to my car it really suits it well now i think



this just goes to show how wrong i could be, it really needs to be seen on the car in the cars colour to beable to make a proper judgment i think

if shoey's bar was anything like mine, the price to make one wouldn't be worth it.
the amount of hours required to even get it to a presentable stage is a lot... kinda frustrating

my sides and rear are BA XR, only the front is BA ghia.
hyena on fordmods has BA GT side skirts, there is also another car around melbourne with BA GT side skirts.
the ideas getting around a bit now ;)
hopefully ppl will move onto BF stuff ... even though the sides and rear are the same :/
