Hey hows it going just joined this site =D i just brought a silver Gp FTO 97 model. Iv already gone and put nitro 20 inch wheels on and done a black to silver tint and a sound system but i have no idea where i can get some skirts and a wing. I'd like to sorta make it have a supra look has far as the skirts go if its possible. Anyway i live on the gold coast so if anyone knows some body shops around here and can give me some tips it'd be appricated.

Cheers

I can get Factory Ts facelift bars and Dcuatro side skirts if that suits:

And soon a rear bar to suit...... - youve already seen that thread!

Those side skirts i'd be pretty keen on getting, where abouts would i go to get them fitted though and do you know how much most places charge and if they will defenitly fit?

Depends if they are new/second hand, the ones dstocks have are brand new so they would need to be sanded down, primed, sanded down again, then painted again. So to get them fitted your probably looking at 100-150 per side. (200-300 in total for both sides).

EDIT: The ones dstocks have are great quality and have the clips I believe unlike other cheaper ones. :thumleft:

Well, all FTOs are the same with respect to the sideskirts, so there is no issue there. If youre car has been in an accident I guess there is potentially an issue, but they were moulded to my car before being copied, so any bodyshop should be able to fit them for you easily (the word back on the other copies that have been fitted to date is that they are a good fit. They are $360 brand new. This is unprimed, so the bodyshop would sand back and paint. This is extra, but unless you are really lucky and find a 2nd hand set that matches the colour of your car, youll have to foot that bill irrespective of whether you go new or 2nd hand.

Just to give you all a general idea i was kinda looking at getting like a those side skirts that supras have or close to it with the big holes down the back, then going with a GT or Topside rear spoiler and i need new tail lights or something to to dress up that back end, its a startand silver colour and only things that arnt factory is the lip on the front bumper, the black-silver tint, and the 20 inch NITRO rims, which are silver and black crossed for those who dont know what it is. SO ANYWAYYY if any one has parts to match a silver FTO sends us some pics and ill buy em off ya cheers

Makes sense to me. It was already half riced so i'm not going to be taking everything off and replacing it with standard, so i just added skirts?

And I kept the Red FTO fully standard. :thebird:

Do you comprehend?

Whatever, anyway no I don't have any spare parts.

@Matt, I'm either getting yours or dstocks but Kate wants yours really badly so I might opt for Dwaynes. Not to sure ATM.

Your right it does and I like it. I have no problem with my car looking ricey and I have not said anything to the contrary.
