I like the after rims, but I enjoy the stock hood more.
I think they both look great. Stock is nice, but the after is a look at an older car with new times.

i think the cobra r's look good... but that it would look better with maybe a 1inch drop: subtle, but it cuts a good chunk of wheel gap out. also, not a big fan of that spoiler....

well the stock spoiler was cracking as all gta's does unfortunantly, and i was always a fan of the sallen wing type for the 5.0's, so i went ahead and got the ascd turbo wing 2......
the rims to me were a no brainer.... i got tired of being made fun of saying that they looked like cadallac rims or somthing...... i liked the snipers but they costed more so i went with the cobras to be original, and i still haven't seen thirdgen with them as of yet.....
i kinda miss her from along time ago... theres so many things that i wish i hadn't done..... but that was then and this is now..... i'm dealing with a nice split of the dash do to the tach being mounted........ oh well life goes on i suppose..... i'll get her lined out one of these days i suppose....
btw it's a 89ta

You got made fun of for GTA wheels. What kind of friends do have. Cadaliacs never got rims that looked remotely like GTA wheels.
I can understand about getting a different wing because of the cracking.

ahhh
these fellers up here hate somthing plain looking.....
personally they were ok and looked good in the shade but looked white in the sun... they were getting on my nerves.....
hopefully i will be able to get the mufflex 4" catback and some slp headers so i can lower it about 2" and maybe a custom wing or 4th gen....
do you think the cobras don't look good on a thirdgen?? i always thought they looked better than on a 5.0??

Your car looks great, both before and after!
I liked the original wing better but other than that, love it.
And the Cobra's look AWESOME.. can't believe people disagree... :hail: :hail: :hail:

Don't like the wing at all, I like the stock hood better but that one isn't bad and I like the rims.
Either way, nice ride.

I'm trying to make sense out of the hood, hard to tell from this angle, is it a cowl hood or Ram Air or....?

I like the before shots better. Those rims make the car look like it's...... uh, something "not nice"
and the "nostrols Flaring" Ram air hood to me, doesn't look to good.
The after spoiler looks good though. Kindof *****, but good.
and I'm not trying to be a ********. :lala:
