The Dok's Au is a damn fine example of what can be done with the right know how... but after speaking with him once regarding it, he suggested i forget the idea rather quickly as whats involved in the swap over is rather costly and time consuming.
After all its still an AU. Maybe there is a way to modify the existing AU panels to fit the headlights and front though? |

Phat Custom Kits near my Work Does all the Conversions .. Now they have BA/BF , XR , GT and Typhoon Bars that slot directly into the AU Hold Areas .. Essentially , they look like a BA but still attach to an AU
