SS Fender Vents.. too far?

Duffman · 07-06-2005, 07:14 PM

Hay guys I was wondering if these would fit on an AUII Falcon,

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....978199833&rd=1

If they did would it be pushing the rice to the extreme too much?

It would be on a white au and Id have a set of mags and body kit first of course. What do you think?

Venomous · 07-06-2005, 07:18 PM

hmmm, i think you might be lol, also i dont think they would go with it. Any post up a pic of your car, side on, and ill chop em on and see how they look.

Duffman · 07-06-2005, 07:24 PM

I havent got a decent pic of my car but it has no bodykit/wheels anyway. I posted up a pic of xcoppas car because it would look the same as his. So if you can put them on that would be interesting to see how they look.

I think the fender vents might be pushing the ford and holden frendship abit far though.

**Polyal** · 07-06-2005, 07:41 PM

um I wouldn't even know where to begin...................

SS with a buldge?

jabba · 07-06-2005, 07:44 PM

I don't meen to come across as rude, But why the heck do you want to put a Holden product on your ford. Mate, I laugh at the ****er's that stick the BA bonet balge onto the holdens and I know that alot of other members on here laugh at them also. so do you want people to laugh at you behind your back or do you want respect. I am not having a dig at you, I am only offering some freindly avice so please dont take it personal. But at the end of the day, it's your car and your dicission.

clampy · 07-06-2005, 07:52 PM

yes. too far.

XA-Coupe · 07-06-2005, 07:54 PM

I wouldn't do it but really, whatever floats your boat.... if we were all the same we woudl all have beige camrys or something.

Duffman · 07-06-2005, 08:03 PM

Holden has our stickers and buldges. I thought it might of looked ok, I was thinking you could do your own ones but more trouble then its worth. Its just not a mod you can try... hacking fenders and all. I didnt like the small au indicator and though a chrome strip with a different style indicator might of looked ok... but as you said I think it would be too noticable.

Racecraft · 07-06-2005, 08:11 PM

Its not a bad bit of kit but imho the chrome strip will clash with the Falcon door moulds..

THe reason the chrome looks the goods on the Commodore is they don't have door mould/bump strips like the AU does....

galaxy xr8 · 07-06-2005, 08:25 PM

I don't mind them, I think they look great on the SS's, I personally would not put them on my Falcon but I don't agree with the attitude that is "they come out on a Holden therefore they belong on a Holden" some people are so single minded, so what if there are Holden's out there with a bulge, Ford was not the 1st to introduce a bulge, and therefore Holden was not the 1st to introduce side air vent's, I mean really, just as an example, they now make XY GT tear drop mirror's,(replica's) and how many vehicle's do we see with these type of mirror's on, why because they look good.

M14A-Mclaren · 07-06-2005, 08:49 PM

I hate the vents on the Commodores so on a Falcon would be plain stupid IMO.

svo347 · 07-06-2005, 09:05 PM

Phoooyucky.
They aint even functional.

**Peuty** · 07-06-2005, 09:24 PM

Waaay too far

Supa R00 · 07-06-2005, 09:56 PM

i wouldnt mind..... something different thats for sure!!!

the_scotsman · 07-06-2005, 10:01 PM

I wouldnt mind either....This "No Holden product on your Ford" bullshit is rubbish...if it looks good and hyou like it, go for it, its something different, unique on your Ford...

Duffman · 07-06-2005, 10:11 PM

Yeah its more of a concern of how it would mold to the body then anything else. I think I would try it. It would look ok on white as it wouldnt stand out too much I dont think. A while au with black tail lights, black head lights and black fender things I thought would look good. I think by the time im done with the au it will be an abomination. I even thinking gold wheels ehhh whats happening to me!

Duffman · 23-01-2006, 09:22 PM

Hay sorry to bring up a old thread but i got a body kit and looking to maybe pickup some mags this weekend and wondering now... should I try it? Id just get some second hand au guards and cut em up and save my originals. What to do.. what to do!

NZ · 23-01-2006, 09:27 PM

You'll get laughed at. Theres a white VY executive here with a kit of some sort with Purple gt stripes. Everyone laughs at it even the holden blokes

23-01-2006, 09:39 PM

I think it would look good, it's your car so if you think it would look good then do it, Originality is key in building a good car.
I personally don't see why you can't like both holdens and fords i think people need to grow up, they are very similar, there are fords i don't like and there are holdens i don't like.
I think the vents would looks good, but i don't think the holdens one's are the best out there, there are heaps of cars with better side vents that would look good on an AU.

Tri Power 289 · 23-01-2006, 10:03 PM

NOOOOOooooooooo.........!!!

LUXO_8 · 23-01-2006, 10:09 PM

whatever floats ya boat..........i personally think they look pretty dodgy on a holden....so they wouldnt be something i'd be trying in a hurry....

as above

Yeah, i would not do that. I dont think they even look good on the commo's. I reckon buy a camry or something and do that maybe

svo347 · 23-01-2006, 10:14 PM

Link no longer works...

Craig · 23-01-2006, 10:15 PM

Dude, if you like them you put them on.

I am still laughing about XA-Coupe's line about Beige Camry's. LOL LOL LOL LOL

Duffman · 23-01-2006, 10:27 PM

Here is a more recent link they have gone up in price abit. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Pair-of-VZ-SS...QQcmdZViewItem

What other kinda vents are out there... I couldn't find anything else really suitable.

EL_futuraistic · 23-01-2006, 10:32 PM

I recon it would certainly look different. Good idea to use a 2nd hand guard to check if it looks good or not.

The do serve no purpose on the holdens as they are sealed, which i take it those are the same.

Like everyone has said, whatever floats your boat.......... and i would be very interested to see the results. You maybe on a winner

Mark351 · 23-01-2006, 10:33 PM

If you like it, do it.

I think you convinced me, ill pickup some secondhand guards give it ago... if it sucks just throw the guards and sell the vents wouldnt be much out of pocket.

Can anyone photoshop it.. just trying to get a general idea of where to place them.

ratman · 23-01-2006, 11:10 PM

I've seen an AU ute (black) and a BA ute (silver) here in Canberra with it done, looks pretty ordinary imo, evrytime I see those cars I can't help but think of a confused tranny, just doesn't seem right not knowing what you are.

FTGAutosalvage · 23-01-2006, 11:27 PM

i can arrange the vent and maybee even guards with the provision for the vents pressed into them. will get some prices
