I don't care for the color or the lowering, the wheels aren't too bad, the second set looks a lot better.

The hood louvers look good.

I don't care much for the looks either. Just my opinion thought. The wheels are cool, but a little too big for me. I like to have at least just a little space between tire and fender. The targa top caught my attention though. I know structurally the cars aren't too up to the challenge, but I'd like to still entertain the thought of it.

The first one is good, I don't like the front end lower than the back look, but the tints are nice.

The second one I don't like the paint, but the targa is nice

Targa Targa Targa! lol I love it, definately not your average daily driver. I kinda like the paint on the second one, and maybe if it had more of an aggressive stance instead of that low rider look. The first is a bit too yellow for me. Now, lets make it happen, not just a photo shop job! Maybe Fatal88 can do a targa!?!?

I like the "fast and furious" one actually. The paint doesnt look too bad, and the wheels are nice too. I dont know if I'd do that to my car, but doesnt look too bad.

the second one looks better than the first, but i still wouldn't do that to my car. even though it is unique.

why would you change your car to look like either of those, for looks or unique-ness? trust me i'm not trying to be mean, i'm just curious.

hmm...they do resemble *****s.

I like em. The second one is very close to what I'm aiming for as far as the stance on my 91. Just need some more suspension parts to correct geometry before I start installing.
