It's sad but it's not the first and it definitely won't be the last.  Get used to it I'm afraid.

Happens with all makes/models of cars.  Look at all the riceburner R33 GTST Skylines driving around with GTR badges and kits......

cant say a r33gtst is a riceburner... with a bit of work them things can put out over 300rwkw and that would destroy a xr6t with the same kw (power:weight)

Just a bit of work you say? Only $2,500+ on a turbo, $2,000+ on a rebuild with forged internals, $800 intercooler, $1000 exhaust, $900 injectors, $150 fuel pump, $1200 ECU, PLUS a sh*t load of labour on top and a decent set of wheels to put the power down.

Spend that on an XR6 turbo and the Riceburner will be no where in sight my friend.....

Trust me, I used to own one.

commodores have been doing it for years, so whats so bad about it happening with falcons?

ive seen VX Clubby kits on VN's, VP's, VS's... but we havent seen a BA XR or GT kit on an old ED, EL or even AU...

if somone loves the look of a GT but cant afford one, they buy a xt or maybe an xr6 and throws a gt kit onto it...

they happy then

if they want to do it, I say let them go

I agree with the bodykit deal - a lookalike is one thing. However, re-badging and thus identifying the car as something else is straight BS.

In other words, a new bodykit improves the visual appeal, and factor. But re-bading a car into something else, is a nothing but a wannabe piece of

I agree entirely, re-badging makes this much sense-:rl: but then again, each to his own

8. interior is just all kinds of wrong

9. Rear tip is not a Double "D"

10. Rear wheels are not offset as per FPV

I wouldnt call this list to the finest detail would you ..

there are a few E-series owners grafting BA bits on their cars there is someone who has a fairmont front bumper, XR side skirts and rear bumper and another fella is in the process of doing a full kit

Ive seen an XT with XTHO Plates(Vic). The car isnt that bad looking, Red with big black stripes running down the bonnet/hood/boot. Its lowered and I think it had a set of 18's or 19's. The only thing wrong with it was the interior.

Why would someone want to imitate something that already looks bodgey. Would be like Cro dressing up as a fat chick.

Huh , thought Ivy was a fat chick

Rob,this Phoon envy thing is getting pretty serious. Better go and spend that valve spring money on some proper help Champ

We could always have a Stooge Hunters Intervention, for medicinal purposes only of course

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No Phoon envy darl. If I had the money I'd get a GT-P, not a buffoon.

Oh $hit, I'm starting to sound like Farva now.

yes and it looks more terrible than the stock EF's already not too crash hot styling in my opinion. I've seen that car and don't rate it at all. Looks like a backyard job.
