I agree with Mr. Z06. Perhaps the best question to ask yourself is "what do I *not* have to change on my car?" Less is more. Changing too many things can cause the car to look tacky. I've always felt that regardless of car manufacturer, you really have go above and beyond the factory's design to make something look good. What have I done to change my car's exterior? Nothing.
Just my opinion.

As you all know I modified my front bumper a bit, just to be different than the rest of the non gfx birds out there.
Depending on how it goes, I should have the front and rear bumpers finished before winter.

does mine have gfx. I can't really tell since your care doesn't seem to be different from mine. Look at my signature. That little plastic thing thats under the car came off a while back due to my driveway being too much of a slant.

Yeah your car has gfx. I'd replace that..you lost the air dam and it brings air to our engines to cool them down.

Not really custom, but certainly not stock, I've redone just about everything on the car. My web site has many more pics...

I'm going to have to tone down the styling quite a bit because of money issues. I'm going to attempt to fill it in. There is currently a headlight fitment issue with it. I guess I could get 91-92 bird lights to make it easier.

Very similar to my setup, except I have one guage in the center and two under each of the two 3 3/8's gauges. That and I made mine out of sheet metal, and used autometer phantom series gauges. Is that the plate that summit is selling now? Mine turned out not as good as I would like and I was thinking about picking that up.

I will let you know that I am working on something that will blow everyones mind away. Soon as I get it installed I will post.
Here is a hint: Installing one componet that will eliminate many and this will be able to control basically everything on the car.

You know, that OTP nose reminds me so much of "Knight Rider", probably because of the way its elongated compared to a stock TA nose.
The way its designed should provide more downforce on the front as well. Not sure how that will affect the balance of the car, but it will make a difference at high speeds. I don't see much effect at speeds below 120mph

I wonder why Fatal88 hasn't chimed in yet. There is certainly enough custom work on that car.

I lost almost every single pic of my car in a hard drive crash. 
If anyone has any of mine post em up!
The only real "custom" mod other than like hood and wheels is I changed up the formula bumper to accomodate TA foglights. Makes for a really sweet look.
