| They look good leebo. I think they would look awesome without a body kit as the body kit may serve as a distraction. Once again, i do like it |

| i agree with totally that fellas , the only use could be as a stone guard for dirt roads or that classic 70's style, i hope they end making one for the 80 L tank, so i can get one , at 2.3mm thick thats a bit of protection at least... |

| 2.3 mm is the smallest you can go legally for a fuel tank made from ali! other wise there is to much swelling and cause the tank to rupture! |

| sorry to interupt your topic leebo , but ive had a holed tank a few times , and at the moment im not able to fill the tank to full , as i have a leak near the top of the tank . would something like 2.3mm ali be too easy to get through , with repeated stoning on a gravel road. etc. ? any advice please mate. ... cheers. |

yeah im completely open to your opinions otherwise i wouldn't have posted it but it's not a actual fuel holding tank im looking at it like a cover it still uses the normal 63litre tank undernaeth its a cover that goes over it.
and your right in that it serves absolutially no purpose other than just for looks.
i do like the look of it on the cars and it does not have fuel behind that 2.3mm thick metal which is safer.
the only reason i have posted this and not just gone a brought it is that i wanted to ask you guys and gils your opinion on not about it's stuctual side of things but would you think after going up a few dirt roads it would look like the dogs breakfast cos it's only thin and espcially being pollished.
i dont think this will be a prob to much in that my normal fuel tank has not a single dint of chip in the paint surface.
anyways let me know what you think. cheers leebo |

| i made a mistake there 2.4mm , mate they look good . i want one ! only the rear drivers side tyre, tends to hole my tank . i think the tuff tank cover would stop this, or ill have to go back to misguided mudflaps..... anyway sounds like a good deal. |

just wide stockies on the back , the main issue is that the 80 L tank hangs down right behind the tyre and with me living on a course gravel road , the tank gets sprayed with rocks all the time. lucky i have gas.
not sure about the 63 L tank , but i can see no problem with the tuff tank being damaged , any more than a genuine drop tank.... if you buy one , will you fit it yourself ? |

got a v6 , with optional 80 L tank , fe2 sus. and climate.
hopefully you will get them in the next couple of days . i posted them last wednesday . and they can take up to 6 business days to arrive.
more than likely there will be a pickup notice in your letter box and then pay the postage at the post office when you pick up the strips. ill see if i can track them..... |

okay i didnt know the V6 had the option i thought it was just the 8's but now i know eyy.
The reason i wanted it is because it would finish of the look of
my car being a V8 once i get my exhaust tip on and Tuff tank.
cos to the untrained eye my car look like one.
check it out if you wana see how it look just now.
i will update when i spray my bumpers and other things bit by bit. |
