For the XR6T and XR8, the rear thing needs to be black chrome and the indicator and reverse lights need to be darkened (with a brighter bulb) to suit:

Will there still be a G6ET?
Haven't heard much at all and no photos seen either.

That black strip and dark lights looks awesome. I can see people doing that aftermarket. The front end looks sexy and the back looks great with the black accents. The missus needs a new car but I can't see her wanting a large sedan. I wish I had the money for a second car. The Ranger is great and practical, but I wish I had the power and comfort of the XR8 as a daily drive though. |

To be honest, if I was purchasing one it would be black. My AU XR8 is black and just looks so good when clean

ADR's might have a say in how easy it would be to do though.

Well, it would be easy to do, but it might also be easy to get defected as well lol.

Which is why Ford should of thought of it and it should've come like that out of the factory. Darkened lenses are nothing new and perfectly legal if factory standard.

Is it just me or is this the first Falcon that doesn't really look like a Falcon if you get what I mean.

Doesn't change the fact it looks good but it's less Ozzie for that reason alone.

It doesn't have the Falcon signature or resemblance due to strong US design influence.
