how much did they set u back tommy? got any rear shots of it? they both look pretty good, but need to see how they will blend in with the grand scheme of things :) its quite tempting to get some even tho i actually have the factory rear pods :o hehe

They were $45.50 each plus the GST. So for both was $100.10

They are bit longer than the bluey, you cant see in that photo but they stick out the back quiet a bit, altho im customising mine. Today i cut the bigger clips off so it fitted better, did bit of trimming on the part that sits against the side of the body and did bit of heating and bending. Tomorrow will cut the access bits off that i think are un-neccesary, sand all the rough bits and paint them. Will see whats cheaper, getting colour coded by panelbeaters or buying colour matched paint myself and doing them. As they are quiet small in size i might just paint them myself.

The 2nd set look even better. I guess this is the solution to getting those extremely rare u13 caps.

Well im nearly finished with mine. Decided to be a cheap ass and paint it myself considering the pieces arent that big.

Paint cost me:
Plastic Adhesive Primer (Clear): $20.99
Custom made up paint and put into aerosol can: $34.99
Clear Topcoat (Acrylic Lacquer): $16.99
Sheet of 800 wet and dry sandpaper: $1.25
Total in paint supplies: $74.something

Much cheaper then what i got quoted by a panelbeater $200 both.

Here is a piccie of them drying, oh BTW i got the paint from Autobarn in Slacks Creek for those in Brissy and interested. The paint is a perfect match too.

Dont mind the orange peel on the clear coat, not too fussed, will sand/buff it out.

thanks curtis.

I put the on tonight, altho i think im going to be very pissed off when i see the result in the morning. The silicone adhesive didnt quiet hold down some parts as i didnt get the right shape.

But the gaps i will fill with silicone and then paint it with my touch up..

Well fitted mine, and found one flaud with these. Once its around the bend the ends tend to tilt upwards as you can see in one of the pics below.

Will be removing them this weekend and fixing that problem up. Hopefully it will work out better the second time.






What are your thoughts??
