the front bar is a BF GT and it would be very original with a nice grill and fog lamps

also i have seen BF GT rear bars to suit AU's on ebay.

would be very original if your AU had BF GT front and rear bars and TE50 or TS50 skirts.

good luck

At that price, I'd suggested that far from being "phat", they'd probably be very "thin".

I dissagree i think with proper chrome mesh inserts would look awesome. And that is a very good price for a full kit

I think the kit looks kick a**. Although as someone said you get what you pay for, but I'm not very well researched on kits so I don't know.

Good luck!

The reality is, you can't expect a two-bar and side skirt kit for that sort of money to be high quality, unless the people making it are a bit mad!
I'm not trying to push my own barrow, but I have been in the body kit game for 31 years and I know what it costs to produce things.
My best advice is have a look before you buy.
Cheers, Bob

The BA XR kit would not fit unless you want to do alot of mods to it and if your interested in that other members can go more into detail as i dont know all that mucha bout it.
good luck finding the right kit but watever you do dont get the 'EF GT' kit!!

they dont fit them i paid 800 for unpainted ba gt kit for my xt , from pphat customs in dandenong? panelbeaters said worst they have seen as in small indents they had to fill to get paintwork to fit, they struggled to get it all to fit and line up ,sharp edges everywhere, and there was a suggested a few spots in the bars that where as suggested in previous post "thin" which they bulked up a bit plus it was where the honeycomb s**t inside the bumper goes imho dont bother

mate they are cheap but they do look fantastic. i have a xr6 ba and i got the same front bar to suit. being an ex panel beater it was easy to fit and install but i would suggest geting your local shop to fit it only due to the fact that some have dags and miscuts.

all in all i think it would look good on your au!

goodluck with it.
