chrome lights can be okay but not those and everyone seems to have shit ones and fit them to any and every car. they don't always work. if they were clustered like the monaro ones and put on commodores they seen alright, ones for some civics and some lancers look good but generally they look really off with most colours and the designs they come in are bad. i really hate it when they fit new lights and the indicators blink fast, i swear if i had epilesy i'd get a seizure. still i really like a stock AU falcon. i never understood why people didn't like it.

No offence, but what a crap bucket. AU was Fords worst attempt at making a Falcon. Worst breaks ever.

They are good if you want to get to know your local mechanic. The very last ones of the model werent too bad. MOST of the bugs were ironed out by then. And because of their reputation, you can pick up one for a song, provided you can stand being knocked by your more car savvy acquaintances. If I wasnt picky myself I would consider a late model Fairmont Ghia or for a bit more money, an XR8 Series III manual (the XRs being the only model that sold well and keeps some of its value).

AU Falcon summary: "Munch munch diffs for lunch"!

fast blinking lights are sometimes bc one of the blinker lights is not working. the chrome tail lights i agree look crap on some other car models, but i believe they look quite good on an au that has the right looks.

yea im taking the black strips off and getting new ones and get them colour coded white. the rims set me back around $1500.

i also didnt note that it has a sureflow exhaust worth $500.

thanks for the comments
