Hey! I'm drinking tea right now. Here in Texas its the best thing around. Cheap and you can drink a load of it. Well that ride would look alright to me if there were some big drag tires under those rear quarters. Hood looks good. The spolier needs to be a metal pro mod spolier with wheelie bars below.

Personally I would have left a 45,000 mile GTA alone.

I think that GTA looks tight as hell. I saw that on eBay a while back. He must not have sold it the first time. I was gonna post a link to it myself. I like how that looks. Does anyone know who does that? I remember seeing a post to a place on here before but I'm too lazy to look.

sorry to disagree NV but that's not the same kit. look at the back of the wheel - the fab job smooths it out towards the rear and the website has the rear quarter panel coming back to the rear wheel.

That GTA looks sweet and inventive, I'd go for a different color scheme but at least they aren't stickers.

There should be severe punishments for people that take a sweet ride, like the GTA, and ruin it like that. What the hell was he thinking.

How about you keep your comments to yourself. Did he ask you if you liked his car? NO! so SSSHHHH!!!



On a side note, with a 4th gen interior, a set of wide 19" race wheels, and a new paintjob and I dont think that car would look too bad. But it better have alot of engine work to back up that look ...

I don't think it looks bad. Reminds me of a few Porsches I've seen actually.

uhmm are you being sarcastic, cause he wasnt referring to his car, he was talking about the graphics "over" his car, meaning in his sig pic I think.

Crazy H, You owe me an apology. I like LIKE/LIKIN'/LIKING what the hell is the matter with you? I was talkin' about the babe and like is a good word last I checked.

I know you stick up for Ricemobils but your attack on me was without warrant. As my username says YRU-so-SLO!

I think it looks kinda neat... but I do agree that I wouldn't have done it to a GTA... especially a perfectly good GTA with 45k miles...
