Dude, you really gotta consider what your doing with the front and sides to ba able to make this decision. The kaze will only go with a certain look of front bar and skirts where as the lip will be able to go with pretty much any combo.

So really hard to make a decision without knowing how you are going to approach the rest of the stylin on the car.

imo the kaze bar is a bit "agricultural" too angular, i rather flowing lines to match the car.

oh and btw, are those motorcycle mufflers?? look like staintune.

Because you already have Kaze side skirts, might as well keep the kit goin but the rear Kaze is a bit um over the top shall we say

I reckon if you get the molded JR rear bar, get rid of the little bit in the middle:

What front bar are you planning on getting?

hay xj265 nice pic of that Kaze my front bar choice depends on this rear choic good point cleening up the bottom of that JR extension looks heaps better

ohh no! you stole my plans! FFS

thanx for photoshopping anyway, that looks great

will be doing exactly that very soon

btw this rear skirt is not common at all, the only ones i have seen is a couple in the UK

iv never been this indecisive I completly change my mind by the hour. the little kid in me wants the lunacy of the Kaze but im not a kid and the JR extension is the smarter coice in so meny ways.
I know the JR isn't common but the look is its on skylines commodore silvers etc.

haha yeah it looks like it should have a plough hitched up to it and yes thay are staintune I was thinking of getting a pair of half hexgonal carbonfibre motorcycle mufflers if i can afford it

ok that sounds good the price I was quoted was $1200 for the bar and $900 for shipping by air which I though was pretty good

the kaze rear looks better if you cut out the 2 middle fins like in the vid

agreed

wayyyy to over the top and completely wrecks the look of the fto

imo fto's look absolutely stunning stock, whether that be face lift or not and shouldn't need any sort of kit (only exception is the kit tenji has on his fto which keeps to the stock lines but just adds a cool lip)

kaze is so rice it makes me ill

wow 2 trolls on one thread I have't experienceed this on ftoaustralia before I hope its not a trend

Why are we trolls? Is it because we both (and many, many others) think you have extremely bad taste in bodykit parts?

alekazam sits back and looks smug while trolls proves his point
