That VLY looks mad.. its something unique and totally different.. I like it.

As for the AU, I think it will look pretty smik once painted and the mesh is in place, there was a red AU with B series front rear and sides, dropped on rims that looks very nice for sale about 2 months ago.

lol and JC you crack me up.

that VL looks good, although the VY is too fat and doesn't really match the rest of the car, but kudo's to that guy for doing a good job on it that would not have been easy

Hideous.

eh? I'm viewing the overall look of the car and it's horrible.Yes I did notice the front first. The front of the car is bulky and curvy, while the back is square and compact. Completely horrible. The sideskirts should be noted too because they greatly outline how bad it looks.

Good effort by the guy, but the result is a frankenstein creation.

I was toying with the idea of putting a BF2 Fairmont ghia front on an AU but just the front bar not the headlights. i think would look really good on a dark car with all the chrome highlights.

Another NQLD special is an EB with a TS50 T3 front bar (less the grill). The bar is unpainte glass, secured to the front of the car with half a dozen 14mm gal bolts. I'll try and grab some pics next time I see it, the said thing is the shape really suits it. If the owner ad spent more then 10 minutes on the job, it would look tops.

I'm bunping this thread.

BECAUSE


on the m4 tonight i saw an AU wagon with this front bar....



YUCK YUCK YUCK

it looked so wront. the corners are too square for the AU shape. it looked really weird. the car also had unknown side skirts that didnt match the depth, and the white rear bar was cut, obviously to graft more body kit on.

the oddest part, it was resprayed in shockwave i think it was with GT badges all over it. not ford gt badges though lol
