for $400?? The bloke who's selling them must be dreaming...
Don't like the look of them.....I've only seen 1 car on which I didn't think they looked totally ridiculous - and that is 'dylanfh' - his AU3 Forte in Barossa Red - here's a couple of photos from his build thread:

LOL Mr Hardware at that old man camry thing
Im starting to turn into an old man so maybe its fitting ;) I have seen them around on a few fairlanes before but never on falcons and when I saw them on ebay I just got curious how they would go on my dark red falcon with all the chrome thats on there already on the cars Ive seen them on sometimes they look good and sometimes they really dont, depends on the chrome on the rest of the car usually whether it all pulls together but it would be easy for them to look out of place, its always good to hear what everyone else thinks though and dave yeah i think its abit steep to be asking $100 per arch lol definitely not a fan of the chrome pin stripe moulding on that car that just looks really stupid |

if they suit your car, along with other chrome pieces i say go for it,
they can look tacky, so only if you really think they'll suit
