I have to say Brissy, that would have to be the best looking updated front and rear spoiler mod i've seen - nice one look forward to end results.

Well i scrapped those bumpers and went with a different idea
Here's an update of what my car looks like now

The front bar is made up of the cordia bumper,
the lower half of an N13 bumper, and an AE86 lip extension

The rear is a modified TP magna bumper

Heaps better. Sorta looks even like a starion front.

The 1st pic looks too much like a weird smily face... not suited to boxy-ness of cordia.

It cost me around $60 to rig up the front bar, including the N13 donor bumper, the AE86 lip, fibreglass and putty. The rear was next to nothing because my nephew gave me the magna bar, which only needed to be shortened width ways and the sides cut to fit flush. I probably used all of $10 worth of fibreglass and putty on it. But a crap load of hours went into it I can tell you that much
