I do - usually between 2am and 8 am. On weekends, it's normally 3am to 9am.

Wow, very nice indeed. Dont see many SR's looking like that!

I actually like the sideskirts as they are, it makes the rear end look very tough.
My only suggestion on the cosmetic side of things would be clear side indicators.

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback, The Falcon makes the trip to work all that more enjoyable...

Just 2 more things to do ...exhaust/headers/twin tips & an MP3 player....

I will take a photo of my VX and AU side by side...visual comparisons will be interesting since the AU2 was built October 2001 & the VX2 was built January 2002.

Is it just me.. or does the AU look more "modern" for a better word, than the VX? The VX looks outdated in that shot.

The fact that the photo isn't the best and my Ford has new bodykit/wheels added probably makes it more 'current'. If I would put the same wheels and a newer bodykit onto the SS, I'm sure it would look more 'current'.

I prefer the looks of the VX to anything I've seen in the VY/VZ models...but that's just my personnel opinion. That's one of the reasons why I have not traded in the SS, I like the shape/color combo too much, and the newer Holdens and too square for my liking.
