    Default bit of a preview...

    Just thought I'd post a picture of VT with the gto front bar. Yes it fiberglass, however got in cheap and it was already painted. I have to get new side brackets to hold the bar on, and refit it as the drivers side isn't aligning properly. The guy that had it before me sent me pictures of it aligning perfectly on his VT, so I'll have to have play around with it after I get the brackets to get it right.

    So once I've done that and given her a wash and I'll post more pics...

    Certainly looks different. How about putting a mesh grill in the bottom to fill in those large black holes a bit. I wonder how you will go with a road worthy, since the integrity of the original safety bumper has been altered.

    Thought you were taking about headlights, because those silver ones look stupid with that bumper.

    Please ignore the long grass


    I am planning on getting monaro headlights at some point and the back will be lowered more as well. Hopefully when I lower the back more it will even the whole car out.

    lowering wont even it out, you now need side skirts an a rear bumper to match.Sorry to say but it looks like a bad photoshop.

    I have the same bar on mine and in my opinion it is one of the toughest looking bars for the vt. Just a word of caution, be very careful whilst going in and out or driveways, in carparks where there is that concrete stop at the end of the park, near gutters etc etc, mine sits on super lows with 18's and it scrapes just about everywhere.

    Yeah I hear ya mate. I'm on 19's sitting on SL's, my drive is quite steep and I tried reversing out of it and almost took the front bumper off, also coming out of a coles exit. Gotta be really careful..
