Default Things you hate seeing on AU's

1. Door rubbers falling out the door
2. the black tape coming down off the AU1 fairmont boot spear
3. E-series 'wrong-offset' wheels
4. XR/Tickford badges on non-XRs or non-Tickford vehicles

Thats just my preference, not saying noones allowed to have them. Maybe I should reword it to aftermarket body kits, or kitted up base models.

The only kits I like on the falcon are the T1 TS50 and TE50 kits. Bobtail, skirts and subtle bars.

I REALLY hate seeing people put the XR front end on Forte/Futura/Fairmont..

If you want an XR, buy one. Don't take down the value of genuine XRs, and have insurance companies need proof that it is not just a bodykit

Altezza's and any other ricer mod, as in body kits, ugly chrome wheels etc. Every time i see a riced up AU i feel slightly embarrassed and sick in the gut to be driving an AU also, even though mine is completely factory aesthetically.

+1 to Hawk wings, go T-Series if you want a big one.
