That is quite bad. I think that car may have appeared in the "On the Street" section for PFM a while back. Correct me if I'm wrong. The rear bumper looks very flat. The front bumper is quite rounded. A real mismatch (and who would put Hyundai parts on a Falcon anyway)

I like his work but not what he has done it too. He has talent to do this sort of work but it could be done to more worth while projects IMO. But still it isnt the ugliest thing ive seen...

Be nice.

The owner has put a lot of time, effort and original thought into this car. This is not a "Supacheap bolt-on add-a-sticker-kit special" or a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a fully sic car I saw down the street.

Although it may not be to your personal taste, it is possible that there are a few who think YOUR pride and joy is crap, even if it is bog standard.

I hope he gets enough for it to help his next project, whatever that is.

Maybe this is how designers start their careers. Maybe one day this guy will have designed YOUR new car. Maybe not.

You know, you know you never know, you know, you know.............

I tend to agree, whilst not being my particular choice of car mods, he has done a pretty good job with what he has done. Sure a lot of us might have spent the time and money elsewhere on the car i.e. Engine, however
each to their own. Not the ugliest falcon I've ever seen.

I dont mind the front, or the whole car as a matter of fact. It is unnerving nowing it comes from a Hyundai, but I think it suits it. Personally, I wouldnt want it as a car, but I wouldnt bag it if I saw it on the street.

I think hes done a pretty good job. The kit looks well made and not at all bodged up like i was expecting. I mean its not the prettiest car ever but hes done a good job.

Before bagging it think about it. Could you do a better job of making a custom body kit?

Im sure if he colour coded the door handles and the red stripe, it would look a lot cleaner and the car would look much better overall

Then dont tell anyone the front bar is from an excel and sideskirts are from a VN and everyone would be asking where he got his bodykit from because its nice and different to everyone else.

I think he did a very good job, heaps of people with falcons have bodykits srouced from other makes. Like the Group A front bar they copied and make for EA-ED and i believe pyroays car has sideskirts off a holden as well.

Its at $255 NOW Its still worth it in parts alone

The body kit looks like it fits ok ... thats a start
and doing it all from scratch is very hard to do as im sure some of you have found out .. and how many of you quit modding your bumper and just got another one .I would think a few of you ..
I hope the guy gets some money for it to start him on his next car.. Just hope its a ford as well..Even better if it had all ford parts added onto it

A lot of time, effort (and probably dollars) put into this car. But, I don't like it. Not at all.

You know the worst thing? I still reckon the ugliest part of it is that bloody bonnet scoop.

Well put. I actually quite like it the way it is. Better than a stock looking EA - but then so is a Hyundai! LOL.

I don't mind it. Get rid of the Orange crap and do some colour coding remove that god awful bonet scoop and a nicer set of wheels and i'm sure a few of you guys would change your opinion.

that is what i thought the car should be missing, apart from that it doesn't really look that bad, to be honest i think i like that kit better than some of the kits getting around on the e series at the moment. but me is gonna stay with the nice clean low look, with nothing to worry about when i go over any speed bumps

It's alright looking car IMO, just needed a LITTLE bit more thought, i don't think many people who drive a Ford are going to like an Excel front on their car.

Good thinking though, if the mixture of cars look is what he was going for, he succeeded.

I actually like the front bar. It's the bonnet scoop that I can't handle. The guards look pox, should have been smaller as they take up too much of the space between the door and the wheel arch. And those side skirts? I don't know, atleast they match the style of the front bar, I guess.

Lose the red striping, for Christ's sake.

His main downfall IMO is spelling fat with a p-h. This automatically strikes someone off of my potential seller list....

The car looks OK IMO. There's a sick, twisted part of me that has a bit of a thing for large bodykits.... if it werent for the logisitcs of driving around with a large kit - id probably have one.

He's done well with the excel bar. Nice front bar IMO.
