None for me thanks, but I guess I'm just a 'stock' kinda guy. At least when it comes to the exterior. Except for rims, as long as they're ZR1s.

Let me revise that. Actually those rims do look pretty good. So maybe I only like ZR1s and those, and stock, of course.

I like it, wheels i hate but the spoiler looks good especailly that last pic from the back, looks like the curves match teh back of the body, and its a 5 speed....buy it, how much they want?

ya i know what your sayin! its a nice car but 4 grand is quite a bit of money.. alot of people are paying that for them though!

i bought my car for $1400, theres nothin wrong with it really, just had a leaky intake manifold, otherwise looks pretty good, the owner just wanted it gone. i could put the $800 worth of parts ive collected on to it and turn it around and sell it for $3000 easily

That spoiler ruined the car doesnt look right on there at all looks like it curves back and the rear of the car is pretty much flat. Almost curves back like a 4th gen camaro spoiler.

I dont like it because it extends too far back over the rear bumper. The only types of spoilers that I like that extend that far back are drag spoilers that hug the body. Just my opinion though ...

I like CrazyHawaiian's wing. I guess that's why I went out and bought a '91.
