Hey guys i recentley put the xr50 front bar and the rear wing on, it is getting sprayed now but here is some older pics, ive quite a number of people say it looks a bit poxy without the rest of the kit, so should i get the rest of the kit or keep it the way it is, im undecided and not sure what to do :(

Keep the rebel kit. It'd be so much money for a step backwards.

That's $1000 that you could spend on other mods. Rebel sides and rear with the T series fin is the same as my wifes AU except she has the C2R front.
Looks sweet as it is

I would sell the T3 wing and put a bob tail spoiler or bi plane with XR spoiler, lower her a little and get some 18 or 19's.

$1k to replace a hot plastic kit, for a fibreglass kit that looks only just as good. I'd keep the kit its got mate, bluedrivers XR8 looked wicked.

even on the 17inch wheels you got if you drop it 2 inchs it would look sweet. my xr8 has the rebel kit with standard wing not the te wing like yours ive got mine sitting 3 inchs off the ground at the chassis it even with my old 17s it looked tough

I am thinking of doing the same to mine. I think the xr50 bar will look good with the rebel kit. How does the front bar match up with the side skirts, height wise that is.

Looks just fine as it is, why spend the extra money just because some joker doesn't like it, it's your car so the only one who has to be happy with it is you.

Id leave it the way it is i think it looks pretty good, only thing i think is it could be lowered more or bigger wheels or something to fill the wheel arches better.

Id be stoked if my car looked that good just my opinion,

Simo.

I voted no, but only because I reckon you need to spend some money on wheels. Get a nice tough looking set of 18s or 19s on it, and it will pick up the whole car, and will suit the kit. The kit at the moment is too aggressive for those plain jane wheels.

you should cut the fins out of the front bar and put mesh in it
Just an idea anyhow this is what it looks like.
