Easiest way to make your AU rear look like a new Monaro, I'd say.

Just do it - they look awesome.

Altezza's are different and all it comes down to is if you like them, who cares what other people think.

Be different dont be like Conformodore, whats a Conformodore - Well its a Commodore that Conforms to what all other Commodores look like - lowered, wheels & tinted windows.......

I agree. Certain colours of cars don't suit them.

I have some on my car and they look ok.

I was refering to the ones on e-bay. I might be wrong but the add says for series 1&2. I assumed that was correct. _2: Do they suit all XR AU's?

I like my stock ones the best. They are so sexy. Why would anyone want to change the beautiful AU looks?

Even though I love the looks of the AU, the stock body kit on the Forte/Futura/Faimont is very worth changing... however, the XR and T-Series... done nicely!
