Umm,
1stly) If its a 97, how is it a EF, and if its a ghia why would it have the 5speed manual.
2ndly) Yes, its called a Venom bar, quite a popular venom kit for the EF/EL series

EL Fairmont ghia's also got the tickford head and 3.45 LSD so it could still be a ghia even with the head.

ghia is a better car than an XR anyway. So if thats what it is, all the better to get one in 5 speed with XR body kit.
