ummm...

Who thinks this looks good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6427
I think the yellow and white is kinda loud, but it looks ok. The spoiler and height of the cowl are a little extreme...

not a big fan, but i've seen much worse. the wing should definitly go, i think someone on these boards has a very similar cowl but for clearance reasons it does seem excessive for a plain old 350

the hood is just plain ugly, the colour i can live with, i would never do it but it doesnt look too bad, and the wing would look really good if it sat a little lower on the hatch but it would be less functional then so i can live with it.

Agreed. I would take it, it would be fun with the T-5 and 350, but that combo probably wouldn't last too long. And i'd have to change everything on the car, especially the hood for NJ inspection issues. How tall is that thing? Like 6 inches?

Hoods way to tall for no apparent reason, that is some of the worst striping I have seen (and I like stripes), The wing just doesn't look right, Don't like the white rims, I give it a big thumbs down.

That hood is way too big and way too steep.

And I won't even comment on that wing.

I totally agree. The concept is wonderful, the execution gives a whole new meaning to the word "botched".

One of the few comments that can be given to it would be that I have seen worse (somehow), but there is one thing that angers me. If you read a lot of the dealer auctions on ebay, they describe the 3rd gens as "Fast and Furious V8." WTF??? That really bothers me. Especially when its just a modded L98. That is muscle, not fast and the furious r*ce bullsh*t.

i could live with the paint.....the hood is well....just too big and the wing, i dont even like the 91-92 Z28 high rise spoiler so i would never be able to stand that one....the paint would be acceptable i guess.

The wing says "hey, I'm here..." The car screams "I'm an f-body without a wing."
