Simon was good enough to drop some more goodies off for me yesterday arvo. Thanks Simon
And a big thanks to Jake as well for picking the parts up for me in the first place

Cusco strut brace and brake stopper
JDM side strakes
I'm struggling to see how these are ment to fit properly tho.
I had an attempt this arvo. On the front I removed the mud flap and the 2 holes in the wheel well line up but the 2 holes on the underside have no where to go.
And on the rear much the same story I can get one hole in the wheel arch to line up but none on the underside of the skirt.

In starting to think they may not fit my car

Very cool stuff! Notice the brake stopper working?

No idea. Haven't left the garage yet.

After digging through quite a few old threads regarding the side strakes or spats whichever they are. It seems that they may not be suited to the 3.0r side skirts. Which I didn't realise we're even different.

didn't you at least hold them up to the car?!

i want to invest in a master brake cylinder stopper, it would be good to hear your thoughts on how yours feels or what difference there is.

by **HoFF** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:50 pm

Yeah I've held them up and tried to fit them. The shape is pretty right but most of the mounting points don't line up

I'll be sure to post when I take the car for a spin and report on the difference if any with the stopper.

yeah from what i remember reading there's a difference and they don't fit exactly...

Mmm Cusco bling...me likey :wink:

You have a 3.0.....

I just remembered these are listed as not for this model as they have different side skirts.

The rears dont line up to the holes underneath as the JDM bumper is shorter than ours and it puts the holes in the right spot as these are made for JDM cars.

The fronts line up perfectly with all mounting holes on non 3.0 cars. The rears just need a couple of holes drilled underneath.

You need non 3.0 side skirts.......

Unfortunately, Simon just bought mine.

by **HoFF** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 8:35 am

Yeah I was afraid of that.

So the rear pair I have they go on the rear bumper, not in front of the rear wheel??

I'm not too interested in spending much more money on the car so I might just sell these on.

Good work Hoffmeister!!! Love the new additions shame about the strakes though

by **HoFF** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 9:30 am

I just tried a quick trial fit of the rear ones again. In their proper spot behind the rear wheel.

I will only need to drill one hole to fit these to the rear

I like the look of them just on the rear so not all Is lost
Excuse the filthy car
