Hey guys.
While on my search for a factory looking EA-ED Sprint body kit, I was talking to one of the Fibreglass guys (here is Melb) and he mentioned that he may be interested in reproducing the small front guard lip that was on the ED XR8 Sprint from Factory (if there was enough interest). Given these are no longer available from Ford and nobody else makes them, they are very hard to find. These would (I assume) only fit onto a EA - ED Falcon and would only fit on a front guard where the lip has not be turned up to fit larger wheels. Here are a few pics of what I am talking about. A wide view.  A close up.  Under side.  Given they are hard to find, I would need to take them off my car for a mould to be made and then they would be made out of fibreglass. So at this point I have no idea on price etc Just want to gauge roughly how many would buy such an item. Please feel free to add any comments.. |

Guys, a quick update.
If they were made, they would be around $50 for the pair + postage unpainted. As they would be small the postage would be minimal depending on location. |

These are probably one of the hardest ford parts to get.
Put me down for a set.
