Ummm..

1: Why would you move the fuel flap when it lines up perfectly? It would be less hassel to just leave it where it is..

2: Widebody indicators are different shaped to suit the pumped guard - NO blinker from a narrowbody will fit.

3: The track in wider to fill the guards, if you dont change all the steering and suspension the car looks shocking, you'd have to get spacers or something to get around this if you didnt want to change everything.

4: The spoiler - each to their own if you dont like it but it completes the rear end of the car.

5: Sideskirts are fine to remake, nice and easy and just fill in the gap between the guard and rear quarter panel

6: As NXTIME said, you would have to hack your quarter panels off anyway, or try and mold a fibreglass copy to the originals.. which is doubling up on weight.

And yes the doors are identical. (as is the rear bumper, front grill bonnet, taillights and glass molds)

1: the only close pics iv seen of the flap on w/b, always has the flap missing. I assumed it was shaped to match the shape of the flare...

2: custom indicators,,, ie vt commodore, clear and cheap.

6: fibreglass is light.... with the weight saving from replacing the front guards it would be about even...
oz, here i come....

The front L-shaped indicators are the one we are talking about. Nothing from any other car will fit in their place.

The blinkers would cost a total of $5 each from the states, save the hassle and just use them!

lol, easiest way to save the hassle would be to not buy a starion....

iv never seen a car with so many little 'gremlins' from the factory attract such a following...
