Hammer Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 An interesting and different look you're going for there Alex. It will be interesting to see if it all balances out. What wheels are those on the car mate and are they 18"? They are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I do love the trial rear but after seeing darett's silver GZ he is selling im loving the blended in spats/skirts/bumper combo. Poll now added for a choice of what to do on the rear, Your input is much appreciated.

Westy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Are you keeping the TS front and OEM skirts mate!? If so I'd vote stock rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Are you keeping the TS front and OEM skirts mate!? If so I'd vote stock rear. The TS front has really grown on me now and im in 2 frames to keep OEM skirts or go ridox replica with the lower carbon section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you would like to go aggressive then I vote stock rear with blended spats with an auto shine diffuser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Blended skirts and spats for me, i have the rear bumper blended too, looks cleaner imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think the Top Secret bumper only looks right with the TS skirts and rear spats - see my garage HERE for pics - I wouldn't blend them in as they'd be prone to cracking along the join line.

JDukesy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think ridox replica skirts and i would say auto shine diffuser...but if you are wanting to be different....there was that regulus rear apron/diffuser in the for sale section a while ago and i don't think it sold (I may be wrong). With the diffuser section of it painted black it might work and would certainly be different as its pretty rare?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 until they crack! 5 years my skirts and spats have been blended no cracks yet, being able to mix filler properly is the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
