You can get them with what ever you want - maybe FORD to match the FORD on the front windscreens or just in case people werent sure what make of car it is.
Can't wait to see them with GT or GT-P or HO

i reckon it looks cheap, but each to their own, maybe they should have done it in a font closer to the XR font, obviously not the exact same (copyright) but many leather companies can get font almost the same.

I reckon it looks crap, personally. It's like when people get a non-functional symbol cut out of their bonnet.

The guys that make that rear bar are the same guys who did the one for ORSM XR's car. Yeah it looks tacky, but its original idea. It might be appealing to some people, but not everyone. I think maybe subtle bumper designs are the go. Like the GT, rebel or T3. Nice designs.

Would certainly reduce low speed rear end impact strength.. Way too big to be tasteful. And hey, i like my car don't get me wrong, but having an xr6 isn't exactly something to boast (so blatently) about. I mean, it's not going to make many people think twice about the performance of the car. Quite frankly if i saw that on something hooning around town i'd probably run off the road laughing. (hmm it's the same colour as my car *places order*) If you like it though, go nuts.
