Making an ED stand out... - Page 2

There arnt that many modded e-series going around in comparison to a lot of other cars out there, so anything lowered with an exhaust does wonders. Like some people have suggested, a good polish always get attention but that depends on how often you want to spend time keeping your car clean!.

Bodykits always get people looking, some will say thats a nice car while others will say its ugly.......either way at least you get there attention if thats what your looking for. An eb gt body kit will most likely make your car stand out the most though.

To get an idea what you like is to attend some e-series cruises and have a look at other poeple's cars. That should give you good idea's, as everyone tries there own unique thing to make there car stand out.

it looks like a soarer, you sure you didn't use MS Paint to chop it!

As john_ls1 said, XR front bar would set it off, also, you could inquire about some tickford wings to replace the 4.0L badges.

this is mine, stock wheels but you can see some subtle changes.
also has the NF/L Fairlane chrome window strips (not pictured).

I just thought id post up to see if theres any ideas i havent thought of yet.

any ideas would be great,
Cheers

they stand out if they're shiny...if you keep a stockie in good condition, you will get looks...

All that is needed to be done is, slammed on its **** like 0.25cm above ground.. (y) youll get looks alright.

Slam it on stock wheels, Pedders sports ryder shocks all around, and ultra low springs. Mini spool it, and put a T5 in it with a cat back exhaust with 1 muffler, CAM and pod and you will get more attention than you bargained for.

Cop attention and all lol.

Make the paint all shiney, cut and polish it so it looks real neat and clean. Also keep your wheels tyre shined, tinted windows will also look pretty good.

Got any pictures of the car?

Sum nice little mods i hav dun to mine include xenon super white headlights and parkers, and little blue caps ova the parkers so when theyre on alone it lights up completely blue. i also have clear front and side indicators, nice stereo and dark tint plus 30mm lowering. if u havent allready, get a tint, well worth every cent u pay, mine is 35% and 20% on the rear and rear sides. which is illegal but... and the white ford sticker plus taillight spray tint make the windows look even darker again. do tailights and windows, u wont be disappointed. removing the front badge looks cool but u dont have that option on the ED i dont think.

EBFalcs · 03-05-2007, 10:16 PM

you don't want it looking tough, you want it to be a wolf in sheeps clothing.

I agree,
was with a mate while cruising and the amount of holdens that sounded what youve said "monotone Whaaaaap noise" then a nice el xr6 went past and basically put the holdens to shame...

best thing for you ed to stand out is keep it in top A1 inside and out... best cheapest mod about i reken
