I reckon its passable, only because the alternative is a full 4.8is front bar replacement from a wrecker, and they are just rare as hens teeth in Australia - and even if you did find one, the cost would be heavy - I reckon $1500 unpainted.

Unfortunately I don't think the story is going to get any better with the flares. I just can't see how they could be fitted neatly....look forward to seeing your progress though.
