Default To moffat or not to moffat

Since ive fitted the sprint kit bits to my EA ive been thinking about how it looks, I love the sides but aint fond of the rear and front (even thou ive never put it on my ea)

I love the look of the Moffat front and rear and thought of fitting the Rear Moffat skirt instead of the Sprint one and put the moffat front on. I was thinking that it would look nice with the Sprint side skirts.

Ive attached a pic of the front bar if anyone doesnt know what bar im refering to. My biggest worry is : Is it going to bring unwanted attention from Mr Plod?

DOnt do it, it looks ghey.
:P

Nah why would you get attention from Plod?
If you do i know someone after a Sprint kit.
if your in Melbourn and want a HO kit ring Fibertech in Campbellfeild.
they have the Genuine original molds for these kits.
they bought them when HO closed down.
My front bar cost me $360 odd That was the second one.
The rear is the same peice.
And they go onto your original bar.
I agree with you on the side skirts, the HO ones are to small, im looking at other options atm.

Yea I was going to call Fibretech to see how much ;)

There is a guy around here with a GT kit but it does kinda stand out and apparently gets pulled over all the time and hassle him (but its cause the Cops around here pull over any P plater atm cause they must be needing more $$$)

I was thinking of the Moffit front and rear because it looks quite nice but also doesnt stand out, has a subtle effect to it

Yeah the HO kit isnt as in your face as the GT kit, it sort of just makes the bumpers look lie EF ones.

Hmm - got any pics or links?? Don't think I've seen that one around.

Your car's on Lows isn't it Mick? I don't think it'd get much attention from our Boys in Blue with a kit like that. IMO, most attention comes from cars looking/being too low.

Or you could just take your P's off ;)

If you really look at it Jihn, the Ho kit is a bit of an intergration of the EBGT and Sprint kit.

You just need to squint a little.
:P

Dont worry if you find the cops looking at you just head towards your nearest import i.e skyline, silvia... and they will swiftly pounce on them. I've found that cops don't give a sh*t about falcons no matter how mild or wild, its only if you have stockies on they move in briskly for the easy unroadworthy tyre defect.

Although I do love the GT flares..hmmm
