    Can you replace the grill from the outside??

    I dont want to have to take the bar off...again..

    they are not like holdens or fords where you give em a bit of a shake and they come off..

          was just gonna comment on that - most peoples definitions of RICE are all washed up and pure conjecture - especially on wiki - Dave has the origin of the term 100% correct even though as time went on it became a derogatory term against japanese manufactured vehicles because of the penchant of Japanese people in their fondness for eating rice

          but there you have it though RICE in car terminology = Race Inspired Car Enhancements

              Hulk

              Are you the Hulk?

              If not, someone's stolen your photos and posted them on Rexnet.

                            it truly saddens my heart to think that one of our own, someone from our own peaceful, harmonious little haven would seek to infiltrate, usurp, and bring down our modest little community.

                            it makes me sick.

                            its like when Cypher exits the Matrix in order to kill Dozer, Apoc, and Switch, also endeavouring to kill off Neo.

                            I just hope that like Neo and Trinity, however, we have our own personal Tank to fight back from his beating, and save the day.

                              hope this helps people to decide!

                              like the look of this except for the big forge on the intercooler. Im not big on having brand names splashed all over the car. Dont like stickers and such.

                              Other than that the front piece looks very nice.

                              Also, does having the boost gauge in the air con vent improve cold air being fed to the engine?

                                I'll be doing this very shortly! My car is also white Hopefully I'll be the first person in Victoria with my forge intercooler proudly showing I've decided to go without the logo though.

                                Big thanx to Whubbsie for providing me with a spare grill to modify for the procedure!!!

                                Any tips chris? How did the fibreglass go with the sides? How did you get it to stick? Why not just use bog? What did you paint the grill with?

                                Cheers,
