Haha, yeah i wanted to take mine off for a fair while to see what it looks like. Had a few beers and was bored on a Friday night not long ago and thought i'd take it off.
It seems to pull a lot more stares from bypassers. :)

Same here ... I'd normally tell people to steer clear of spoilers ... but the factory wing actually suits it ... it's subtle.

Either way looks nice ... and as someone else mention ... nice wheels

i'm not a good photoshop artist but that sort of gives the idea of what it looks like without the red stripe for those who were wondering.

i am normally for spoilers but i reckon this looks fantastic without and leave the red stripe there unless you want it to look like a boring family car

Thanks mate,

Yeah i'm not a great fan of taking the red pin stripe off.
My mate next door has a Heritage Green EL Futura, which is all body coloured, it loks too much like his, in that photo you did.
I don't want it to look too much like a copy XR.

Yeah the red stripe on your car looks great. And nothing wrong with it!
But dude, you have to admit, the picture above with the red stripe blacked out, looks f**k menacing. It really looks good and if it were I, now that I've seen it, I would have to think long and hard about having it made black, not removed, just made black.

A fairmont ghia with kit, no spoiler = hot/sleek!
A ripping xr8 with kit, no spoiler = someone stole it/cant afford the whole kit!

Sorry, but this is a strong vote for Spoiler, NO red lines!

Cant denie it, the xr is meant to look mean; the spoiler suits the kit VERY well, why take it off, biggest wasted $600 IMHO.

I like it without the spoiler and red stripe! It looks tough and gives you that little bit of "individualism" (is that a word? lol") from the other XR8s out there! It looks mean! :twisted: Id also get clear side indicators to finish it off.

Keep spoiler and especially th red stripe. I can see the argument behind losing the spoiler, but the red stripe is the s**t. Keep it for sure.

They're Simmons FR19's I think. Might be 18's. A very nice wheel...I've always wanted some gold centred ones for my maroon XR :D

Thanks guys,

Yeah they're FR 19's, Grey Centre and Polished outer.

If anyone can point me in the direction, i would like to look at getting some clear indicators, but i was under the impression, that virtually nothing fits the XR's.

Also, if any of you guys see me cruising at the Nats next year, pull me over and have a chat if you want, and if there's room, a cruise around too.
By the way, is anyone going next year, and if you are, would you be camping inside?


Cheers Dave
