I'm gonna get ripped for this, but I think it looks pretty good. I would have to put on a lower spoiler or a stock one, but I like how the plate dont get in the way of the tail lights on Birds, i wish Chevy thought of something that creative.

I dont like it much myself. Especially the spoiler. The color is cool, but i think the skirt and the wings look very tacky.

Here is a couple more shots of that car actually, sorry one is blurry, but the spoiler is actually a part of the quarter.. the hatch opens up via the rear glass.. this car was at SLP day at englishtown raceway park.. It also has some odd moldings on the front hood.. Sorry for the huge pics!

A+ on craftsmanship. C- on style. The car looks 1000% better than the usual hatchet-jobs that you all ask for opinions on, but it's still not something that I'd be doing to my own car.

Actually... except for the spoiler and tail pipe cutouts, I think I like it. Oh, and the wheels have got to go.

Maybe because variety is the spice of life ?

If we had left well enough alone, we would all still be driving black model T's on dirt roads......

I like the taillights and the bumper panel thing. If the spoiler were lower, it would be good. The color is nice too and I don't like the rims. I think I covered it all.

I like it a lot..I think there's a Vette running around my area that has almost the same thing on the back end......

Not to mention, the car is just beautiful. :_)

I think that is so he can open the hatch... only the glass lifts up.

also i kinda like it, the spoiler looks a little high from that rear shot of it, but come on, that car is nicer than 99% of thirdgens out there.

the rear end totally messed up the whole car...the car looks bada$$ from the front...then the rear just looks plain ugly...the rear needs to be stock...maybe some custom taillights or something like that....i love the color of the paint...and chrome wheels might look better....

Minus the look of the spoiler from the rear end it looks very nice. I'm still trying to figure out how in the hell one is suppose to get into the hatch.

I'd have to agree with 86. I left this topic alone at first, but it doesn't look that bad.

Also, the spoiler really isn't that high. If you look at the the picture from the front/side, its about the same hight as my 91 Z28 spoiler.

The car is really smooth and clean. All the badges are gone except the one on the nose. The wheels are the only thing I would change.

It's definitely different, and seeing the whole car pic, doesn't really look totally awful. But still not for me.

I think, on the whole, the car is more an excercise in "look-what-I-can-do" than a well-planned concept. As someone else said, "A+ for skill, C- for style." I'd love to have whoever did that work on my car, but <i>only</i> if he were given strict instructions. It's not that any particular aspect of it doesn't work, it's just that they don't work too well together. Well... nah, the rims just suck, period, but it was a nice try.

BTW, the hood is odd-looking- I'm inclined to think it hinges forward. Anyone agree?

i dont think it looks too bad, i like it but i would definitely change it up a little to fit my taste, but overall i think it looks pretty cool.

oh and another thing : wouldnt a back window that opens like that make the rear storage area even more useless than it already is?

and those wheels really suck.
