I agree ugly but who cares that car belongs to someone. They like it, they paid for it, they think its original. Not tring to be stupid but why does it matter to all you, let him or her do with there car as they want. Though I think MOST aftermarket ground effect kits sorta look outta place to me except for hoods why even waste time pointing them out?

I agree that thing is real. I've also seen it on a magazine add in an import magazine that my friend was looking at, I almost puked when I saw it & then I started to laugh cause they did that to a Camaro instead of a Firebird. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

That car is for real. Here is proof. I found a similar car on thirdgenparts.com. What a disgrace to the F-body. Who could do such a thing?

Here is the link. Sorry I dont know how to post pics.

That paint on the purple one looks similar to the paint I want to put on my car, except its a bit lighter. I also plan on getting that hood, too bad I cant tell what its gonna look like due to that hideously ugly front end!
