Is it an EF or EL kit? The full EL kit with the F2(?) wing is hot.

There seems to be many varying opionions here. But it all comes down to what you want really. If it were me I would go with the wing, meh, but thats just me. Perhaps you could get one of the other members to photoshop a wing on it to see if u like it?

yeh i think im going to go with no wing.

i put the side skirts it on and without it being painted it matches up pretty good!


i cant put the front on caus needs to be painted


the anoying this is i went to put the rear skirt on and the stupid part of the tongue for the tow bar that sticks out is welded to the tow pack! so i cant put it on unless i cut a chunk out of the back which im not!



thanks for all the input!

under the boot carpet near the sides there are 2 grommets (on each side), behind them are a bolt each.
then in the wheel arch, undo the mud flaps (if attached) then there is a bracket in the top corner of the rear bumper, its just a 10mm bolt.
under the car there is a steel plate that is riveted to the spare wheel well, i simply cut it off.
thats all i think, the whole thing should slide off the back of the car
if you're essentially making the tow bar useless, you might aswell remove it all together.
lighten the car up

yeah, there will be a way to do it.
its not a very 'big' tow pack, so it shouldn't go much further then just inside the boot.

some of the bigger ones go all the way back to near the diff :P

i have got the 2 piece rear skirt on my xr. doesn't look to bad. if your not going to tow again then take the tow bar off, but then you might want to tow something later down the track and you'll have now tow bar and you'll be spewin.
