Default project fairmont/xr6

Hi fellow members
just looking to gain fellow members opinions on my vehicle as it stands i have a white ba fairmont mods-19 gtp rims
-xr6 turbo suspension
-redline airfiler
-xr6 turbo cold air intake
-xr6 side skirts
as it stands i feel it is a neat car one of my concerns is i dont wont to go to far on the outside as i wont people to see it as a fairmont not a xr6 lookalike so thinking of keeping front bar (maybe a respray) and maybe just the xr6 rearskirt (or keep it fairmont) the only mod i think might look good would be a xr8 bonnet.My major mod for 2007/08 is going to be a xr6 turbo motor so i dont want it to stand out body wise to much i want people to go wow that a quick fairmont.any opinions would be greatly valued.Im leaning towards the stealth fairmont look and a xr8 bonnet and a mean xr6 turbo motor
cheers matt mrgo40rd

Add little bits of chrome to your car to enhance the Fairmont look. Chrome mirror caps, the chrome boot garnish above the number plate (or you could go for a Fairmont Ghia boot), dont put a wing on the car.

With the bonnet you could if you want to add the buldge stickers. Something that says "Turbo Fairmont"

That would be an excllant project. The accelleration and speed of the the XR6T and the luxuraies (sp) of a Fairmont

Could always go the "grandpa sleeper" style, in the fairmont.

Looks tame on the outside, LION killer underneath ;)

ok here we go.

you have the xr6 skirts. get the xr rear skrit and some fully sick tips, AND for the front, get the SR lower front skirt body kit thingo.

then everything will look level and itll fatten up the front a bit. PLUS it's different.

different = good.



edit: a front end like this (minus rice mesh):
