Man you seriously need to get a mould done of this bar when your finished. If not so you can make more to sell but just incase someone does run into it you can get another made relatively easily. Be a b**ch if you get it all done and then it get's totaled... Back to square one for the nice looking mont

Nice Telstar.... :) You could get a mould done. May cost a little bit but if you sold the bars I'm quite sure you would make your money back. Especially seemings that there isn't really a whole heap out there for Fairmonts is there? Most stuff needs to be slightly modified to accomodate for the Fairmont grill etc.
But man... Still can't believe how good it looks. I don't think it would have worked anywhere near as well with any other grill/front. Standard EF/EL fronts wouldn't have worked I don't reckon. Woulda' looked s**t

Of course the downside of selling them would be that you would no longer be unique :(



Unless you designed them to self destruct shortly after arriving at their new owners :twisted:

$5k... Sell each bar for about $600ish... Make a profit after about the 10th bar... A good mould is good for about 20ish bars before it starts to warp and get crappy i think. I can't remember... My days working at Adelaide Special Vehicles are too far back now... :cry:

This is why we do these things, to be unique. I have had offers of mould to done but I have declined. Be individual. As for Mongoose's statement about the grill, you will find that the standar EF Fairmont grill will give you the better look. I took the chrmoe grill off the wifes EL Fairmont wagon and tried it on mine. Does not look the part. Fordfreak, see if you can borrow a white EF grill from someone and try it on, you won't be disapointed.

I wasn't talking about Fairmonts... The EF and EL Fairmonts would both suite it... I'm just talking standard grills...

Sorry about that. I doi agree that the lower series EL would not suit but I think there are possiblities for the EF.

Yeh... although if you look at the other XR style bumpers that other members have done with the EF grill... I'm not too sure... looks ok... Fairmont fronts still look best
