Thanx 4 the comments guys well finally got the garnish painted and on the car now looks heaps better and actually turned out better than wat we expected, theres no seen lines or indents from the old garnish coming through the paint so it worked a treat dont mind the dirty car its been sittin on the shed collecting dust over the past month haha.

Garnish looks good. Better than I thought it would

Still don't like the exhaust all the way down there though.... hmm.

Thanx 4 the comments, savage wat did u mean down there? where else do u want me 2 put it lol u must mean how far it sticks out ay? well i actually wanted a tip that was cut on like a 30 degree angle 2 follow the rear skirt around but couldnt find 1 with the rounded lip so it sticks out as far as it does on the left side coz we had 2 modify the rear skirt 2 fit twins under there, had 2 cut like 30mm off the skirt then shape it 2 suit as best we could.

No the tip looks fine, I just think it'd look better within a cutout in the rear bar, more like the VX Clubsport factory look . . . it just looks a little awkward hanging below the rear bar like it was just stuck on afterwards.... Btw I'm not just trying to pick faults with your car mate I quite like it

Thats cool man need it at times tho well i was thinkin bout gettin a clubby rear bar but i needed 2 find skirts that matched the front bar aswell with its rounded curves in the wheel arches so the clubby skirts didnt really match so the rear bar idea went out the window coz no other skirts match that bar and these SSV skirts rear and sides matched the front so i prolly didnt have much options left really

You could try getting a custom cutout in the rear bar, maybe.. Shouldn't cost too much for someone like Spoiler Factory to fix it up.
