Mate personaly, I love your car and I think you are crazy for wanting to muck around with it. Mechanical mods are cool because no one can see them, but if I owned an EL Xr8 SVO I sure as heck wouldn't be fiddling with it.

But then again I dont own one, so if you want some parts then send FTG a PM and ask, they usualy have everything you need.

Funny you should mention that cos i was following a EL Ghia earlier today and it had a boot spoiler.
I couldn't get over how crap the spoiler and the chrome garnish looked.
Sorta like those awful extra spoilers available on early AU XR's that you could tack on
I'd stick with just the spoiler, but thats just my opinion.

i reckon the garnish sucks unless you have a fairmont.

it has a fairmont logo on it man. spose you could always customize it. most people just leave it which just doesnt look right.

I reckon it looks good, the back end of EF/ELs look a bit plain without it (the ghia one is even better)
And this is from someone who isnt a big fan of chrome.

yeah but IMO you need the chrome in the bumpers to tie it all in, no good just sticking things on willy nilly

Yeah i got to admit the garnish sure sets off the back end on Fairmonts but as he has a spoiler aswell it looks cluttered.
