Hey guys just wanted to know how reliable Car Mate are for parts.. My mate sent me a photo of a rear bar from them and it looks pretty tidy.. I wanted to know if Car Mate products (rear bars/front bars/body kits) are any good or their products are dodgy.. My rear bar's got a big f**k off dent in it from the last owner and I'm gonna replace it.. Just want the best for my baby I know you'd all understand

It's all luck of the draw I'm sure people sometimes get good ones and sometimes people get bad ones but when I Say bad I really mean fucked nothing lines up
Best off getting a rear bar from dstocks or any body parts for that matter

The bonnets are one of the best things from them in the way of fitting.

If you are after full kits have a chat with dstocks as he has a great kit available ( front and back bars, side skirts and also fenders ) .

So bonnets are a go from there good to know for the future

I have had 2 bonnets from them.. All good..

I got skirts off them, and panel beater refused to fit them. They were that bowed that he would have had to chop it into sections, fit, then re-glass it..

Other people have been luckier though..

It's more the fact that they don't get a lot of FTO's in there getting parts fitted, so they can't fix their moulds that they have.
Unlike their commodore and ford kits that are fitted twenty thousand times a day .

Hey guys thanks so much for the advice I was kinda just after the rear bar ey as I really like the look of my black facelift front and skirts!!! Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a whole new kit for it.. Do you guys know if dstocks has any stock rear bars or good looking after market ones??

U wont have to buy the whole kit I bought it in pieces started with front bar then bought side skirts and rear bar together if u wanted the rear bar that would be fine just see if u like it and if so pm dstocks or pm him anyway about a standard one looks like this which is his car btw

Hey guys thanks again for all the help it means a lot I'll definitely hit up dstocks to get my new rear bar.. I tend to trust 'people in the know' a lot more then some of these mainstream suppliers anyways.. God damn that custom rear bar he's rockin looks tidy If funds weren't so tight in fixing up and restoring my new angel I'd be 100% committed to getting me one so it might have to be a cheaper boring stock bar for now :/

Yep, got stock rear bars in the shed (4 or 5 I think). Any particular colour.

Oh and can get the custom rears made on request at any time.

Aww this is awesome news man I'll need a black one if you've got it.. I really love the look of your custom bar and if I had the $$$ to get it I would!! Unfortunately I got to repair some body work and my left rear strut needs some solid repair so if you could hold a black bar for me for a week or two that would be great man

Pretty sure I have at least one black one. Will go and check in the shed when it cools down a bit. Where are you though. Not exactly the sort of thing I can chuck in the post.

Haha yeah Kustom's nailed it Nowra's where I'm at but I regularly come down to Ulladulla to see friends so a cruise down to the Bay is all to easy Dstocks!! Hey so how much for your stock black rear bar mate??

Ok, just had a look at it. $50. There are a couple of scratches that I dont believe will buff out though.
