You be the judge, personally i love the idea of it and think it looks 10x better than the VE Front.

There's a thread where a guy is putting a current Mustang front on an AU ute.
Can't wait till it is finished.

Actually there was a guy doing it on the forums with an AU and a 2005 Mustang IIRC, but progress has stopped.
