Hey guys, So im looking to buy a Greddy style front bar, My options are Ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bomex-fr...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item519a9a7951 & UAS: http://www.uniqueautosports.com/pricelists/pricelist_300zxstyling.htm Both fibreglass,. i want to ask if anyone has purchased either or both, and how does the quality differ ?
I've got a ebay one and the fitment leaves a bit to be desired, specially around the guard area. Can't recall the ebay supplier though, it was some time ago. I've seen a few of the UAS ones up close and the quality appeared to be better. Akeizm said that his panel guy had to do some work to it to make it fit well, can't really say if it was more than you would expect for a glass front bar. UAS one is pricey IMO though.
Thanks Chrispy. Im sure the ebay type could be perfected with some minor adjustments, whatever the adjustments are,.. however do you think the UAS is worth the price ? I plan to order one of the two options and have it painted, However i hear painting fibre glass is quite difficult ?
It comes down to how good the mold is .. I have the UAS one and very minimal work to fit .did it myself Ebay sounds cheaper but will cost more in labour to fit properly. I'd rather pay a little more for a bar that fits better than stuff around making it fit
Can't really say if it is worth the price. If it was a 100% perfect fit first go then I would say yes. My understanding is that Ztoy's bars are as close to a perfect fit, considered one of them?
I've got a GReddy front bar that was damaged on one end in my crash, you can pick it up and take it to a fiberglass shop to see if it's worth fixing. if it is, you'll have a GReddy front for whatever they charge for the fix.
Hey Anti, cheers for the offer. But i seen the picture of when u removed ur front bar,. and u tore it clean in HALF !!! Hahaha,. Nah thats kind of you anti. i just may pop by. Can you PM me your mobile ?
my old man cracked my front bar a tiny little bit and i took it in to get a quote to repair it and the goose wanted $900 ! ive seen the photos of anti's, dont mean to be the bearer of bad news but pretty sure that thing isnt worth repairing unless you know how to glass yourself, in which case it might work out alright!
Gotta give Anti points for trying,. Still trying to firgure out if the UAS is worth the money, or if the Ebay bar is good value.
ill confuse u both more. I got my bomex type 2 front bar from a local fibreglass shop which u could say has bad rep for fitment, but alas it had very good fitment and at a nice price. Only problem is, ITS FIBREGLASS
I can't source a urethane version anywhere... Hmmm,.. EBAY: $300 delivered, but 'might' cause dismay. UAS $600 delivered, good fit, but causes money pains.. Yep,. its Ebay,. thanks Romonski Case closed, thread locked. CHEERS ALL !
