Default Those guys at Phat Custom Kits are at it again...

They've cross-bred an F6 with an AU XR
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TYPHOON-S...6#ht_987wt_952

No doubt with all the reports over the years of that place and their awesome build quality they'll fit on flush first time and will look great

I have no idea how he has a decent Ebay feedback, the bar I brought very soon after getting my car was so crap I abandoned hope and its sitting in a mates garage.. Alas I was very new to the car scene and had no idea in the work involved of any knowledge of quality...

Never again, tho anyone who would mount that to their car probably isnt a car nut
