Re: My car, last 2 years...
Looks ok. Few things I don't like. Take the Formula Stickers off if you are going to have Ground Affects. Lower the front end down a bit. And get a couple inch smaller rims.
then it would look ****ing amazing. Of coarse that's just my opinion haha. I would love to get rid of the gutless 305 in mine for an LS swap.

Re: My car, last 2 years...
Your car looks really nice. I do agree that it looks a little high. Decrease the fender to tire clearance and it would look even better.

Re: My car, last 2 years...
I normally hate those hoods, but you have a 91-92 car, so it fits a lot better with the flow of the car.
I think you've got a very tastefully done car though, very nice. The front could come down an inch, but it's not hugely necessary.

Re: My car, last 2 years...
yeah i spent 2 years trying to find a decent priced local "LT1" style ram air hood and just couldnt get ahold of one, the RAII i have on it was being sold local, i traded for a beat up GTA hood and $200. cant beat that and its since grown on me.

Re: My car, last 2 years...
Thanks!
Yeah i once hated these hoods as well, but when i added the hood and "LT1" spoiler, all the lines flowed, the GFX angles, spoiler and snorkels on the hood all come together and have the same "swoop".
Im hearing more and more about the front ride height, the car is already slammed, see mods in sig, not sure what else to try besides air ride.
