In regaurds to the excel is was an option threw the dealers. You could get the cat scratch vents on Kia's as well and I think Talon may have been one of the companies involved with the scoop/vent kits.

Also I agree with 2011G6E. How could they do that stuff to those poor celicas

Why did I just think of Mick Jagger.

I honestly thought it was just the Holden fan boys that mixed and matched bodykits from different year models. Truly a hideous creation.

Truely horrible!

Why oh why when you get a fully custom kit fitted don't you paint the black door strips also? It happens so often...

With the cost of the XT (I assume) and all the **** he's added on to it, he could have gotten an FG...

maybe he doesn't want one - good on him for having a go . . . it does nothing for me, but at least he has tried
:-)



not everyone wants the same things - in years to come, he will probably cringe when looking at it, but if he is happy now . . . good luck to him

You could say the same thing about most posts in this thread, gtx. Not everyone is going to share the same opinion.

not trying to give an opinion anymore . . . the opinion part was posted because it was both positive and negative - and if truth be told, the negative was the main part of the opinion



you suggested he could have bought an fg, i just suggested he may not have wanted one, and he may have built exactly what he wanted - not an opinion, just a possible fact :-) because as you suggested, not everyone has the same opinion (or wants the same stuff)
