Hang on, so should the T-series owners and the guys with Rebel XR's

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.

tickford badges on non tickford cars

aftermarket rims the same size as the standard wheels (if your going to spend the money to get new rims get decent ones)

blacked out taillights

the only bodykits that look good IMO is factory styled ones, S1 S2 S3 xr and fairmont optional kits all look good, Tseries kits in any model look awesome.

I don't mind some Altezzas if they work well with the rest of the mods or the car's colour.

I hate the un-ergonomic power window switches. Surely they are going to cause arthritus with the amount of back-bending of the hand one has to do.

Side window windsheilds are pretty ugly, as are those newer all-chrome SWB grilles. Makes the AU look like an Avalon.

I also hate those little holes above and to the sides of the open boot where all the rust, dirt and leaves get into.

kitted up AU's with aftermarket body kits, bling wheels, but stock ride height. :

Not a fan of Altezza's either.

crappy seat covers.

dirt/rubbish left inside the car, THAT annoys me the most.

Yeah... the good parts... should have made mention of when people put FULL fronts on there but leave the rest alone... the rear doesnt match in well with the front IMO... but as for me... i'll be using AU XR headlights and Typhoon lower, mix matching the parts and styles i personally like my self...

For those who disagree with me, please be assured that this is my OWN personal taste...
