No thanks. Almost as bad as a bonnet bulge on an SS.
In its own right I reckon it'd look alright, but given that it's a Commodore item... nope.

It doesn't follow the lines of the car very well.

It's really not a big enough pic to get a good look at.

Hi, I own an XR but always wanted an SS...... :P
They are bad enough on Commodores, but on a Falcon, that's terrible. The wheels look great though.

Alright I'll stick my neck out on this one.
Whilst it is a very strange mod to make - I actually dont think it looks too bad??? What if it wasnt a Holden vent - would everyone still bag it? |

If it was absolutely necessary, I would have gone with the vents off the Cooper S. It least it would be so canable... Different strokes I guess.

On the larger picture it looks better, but I rekon it looks better on a commy then a falcon. Not bad either way.

I think something like that will work for the T's. Having said that, the Commondore look isnt what I would be wanting.

I think it looks good, or at least the idea is sound. Perhaps there is a vent that suits the lines of the car a bit better. Extra points for it being an XR8 Cab Chassis anyway.
