Hi all,

Im trying to complete the body kit for my car and the last thing on the list is a front bar.

I have narrowed it down to two options:

Explosive front bar

or

GP Sports front bar.

Now all the pics ive seen of both these bars have been from the sellers,and all of them use the same pics! (same car)

Does anyone out there have either of these front bars on their car?

Please post them up and help me make up my mind.

For reference the rear bar is Nismo and side skirts are Top Secret. My car is also white.

don't mix n match body kit parts people can tell and they look shiit.

go the full explosive kit.

Yes people can tell,

But if you choose parts carefully it can look even better. For example:

Explosive,TopSecret and GP rear bars are way higher than the side skirts and front bar, so if you look at the car from the side the front bar and side skirts are level, then there is a big step up at the back.

The Nismo rear bar is lower therefore giving the car the same line all the way around.

Here are a few pictures of our demo car with the GP Sports Front Bar and Side Skirts (please excuse the hideous indicators, they are long gone). Also some others I found too.

Im really liking the GP sports bar, its better than the other rubbish thats around. The explosive front bar is to Fat and boring!!!!

Im more into the standard look of the S2. I dont even have sideskirts on mine.

Where can the GP front bad be purchased?

We usually stock the GP Sports Front Bar and Side Skirts, however we have recently sold out of front bars.

If you are looking for another look you can always go the Do Luck GTR Kit for GTS, as seen on our project car:

    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
