Dont know what they are called but i think they might be called droptanks

U know those alluminium tanks under cars, seen a guy with one under his slr5000 and thought "i need one!"

How much or how hard to knock a fake one?

Also i am looking for a small bootlip spoiler for my xd, one like on a ea-d that goes out from the back of the boot rather than from the top of it, like on a vl commo, or should i knock up one of those alloy drag spoilers that extend out from the boot, but a smallish one, which one in your opion would look better combined with the droptank to complete the look of the back of my xd?

Thanks

Would it be too hard or impossible to get a r32 gtr front spoiler and widen it in the middle and adapt it to the front of the xd, would it look sh!t? spose i should get it photoshoped and see

Does any one make twin head light kits for xds?, is it illegal i fi make my own?

Far as I know nobody makes a twin light kit.....BUT......

Try the headlight assembly from a ZJ Fairlane, as these had the 4 rouind lights. not sure if it's the exact look you want....

As for the drop tank, they are expensive to buy. Possible to knock up a 'shroud' out of alloy to hide your factory tank, but u need access to a sheet metal bender for a good result! Also as the tank is to one side of the car, the shroud will be too, to give clearance for the exhaust. May look a bit odd....

I got quoted $600 i think it was years ago for a drop tank for an EDXR8.
150 litres double seamed & baffled
Damn I wish I had it fitted now :(

Thats not as bad as i thought.
Is that just for the tank? Not fitted?
Who would i go see to get one made up?
A metal fabricator?

as long as they have a some automotive engineering skills, some takns suck in , some split on welds and some just dont work, thats if they are made by backyard boys
