rob rob rob how long has it been this cross to bear ?!!
You did the job versa visa instead of visa versa and even Falkeen went out of his way to try and fix your F%CK up....then you lost interest in the whole car which left a bitter taste in your mouth much like the colour of your recent ride. I was one of the first to get the XR50 bar and like Laminge posts above one it's aftermarket and if you went to a good panel beater that would fill in and took his time to adjust/fit they are no worries !

I have an AWC/fibersports boss bonnet fitted to my ute and there are/were some isses.
The bonnet was fitted mid febuary, so it hasn't been on 6 months, but it has travelled about 5000km. The bonnet sat to high at the front (above the guards). Mick (BLUPRNT XR8) also has this problem with his CF bonnet. But my painter/panel beater raised the front guards so that they sit level with the bonnet. Also i believe that the gaps either side inbetween the bonnet and guards are bigger than the stock bonnet, but as minge says, "Dont expect an after market product to behave". I do have to adjust them though. I have no problems with lines or sink backs, as that is not so much to do with the bonnet, but with the painter. But i will say, I don't regret buying the bonnet. Best money i have spent. I would contact AWC/fibersprots and see what they have to say. Cheers

I can't believe sfrob is still whingeing,I agree with Laminges and Bluedrivers comments 100%. Plus we forgot to mention that we were dealing with Adam (Falkeen) who was more than your normal salesman/installer. Mick
