the front is just your typical 85-90 gfx...the sides and rear are from an aftermarket kit for sport coupes (since they didnt come with gfx)....not sure where they sold them, or where to get them now

thanks for the compliments everyone

Man, your ride looks great like always.

I still have those rear window nuts to go into the holes when you remove your third brake light for ya.

Ill make a suggestion, paint fenderwells and ditch the third brake light! and/or relocate it to inside of the hatch or spoiler(but i know thats prolly a lot of work with the 5")

Car looks great...ill be getting a digital this week and should have pics up soon also as everyone else is doing!

yep already was planning on removing the 3rd brake light and painting the fenderwells (along with some mods to the rear rake). I was going to refrain from posting pics of my car this year until they were all done, but I really liked the ones that I took the other night so I wanted to share

..as soon as classes end Ill begin it

Mods to the rear rake? You mean lower even out the stance correct? Nice car, even with the slight rake.

just a quick recommendation...i think the lines of your car would be even smoother and cleaner if you did the third brake light inside the hatch glass 91-92 style...i think it clean up the lines even more so...plus a big bulkly looking light on the top of your hatch looks outta date on any car...just MO

your car is of course one of the best on this site good luck with future modifications ill hopefully be joining you soon before mid summer
