dude make up your mind
you could always get a pipe bender, fiberglass mold, and a sheet of metal and make your own car if personalization is the key to your life:
dont take this personally, I just believe, that as a guy who would not mind building these cars in the future for big bucks, this devalues every GM car ever built
all the trash talkin aside- I give that a profound thumbs down

yeah, i am too am all for "do whatever makes you happy" but from a personal standpoint. I would cut off my hands before I ever put that on my car.
Why is it that as soon as I see that nose I assume there it is impossible for that car to have a V8???

I think that even alot of the import kids out there have moved away from the obnoxious body kits enough that they would not even install that.
Yuck!!!

looks like that sat in the paint oven too long and started to melt......
here's another rule of thumb, if you wouldnt put a body kit on your 69 camaro why would you put one on your IROC or 91 Z28? They are the same car....so give them the same respect!

Would i put a body kit on my car? Sure, just not that one. The Trans am has a body kit and it looks good doesn't it? Bodykits don't have to look as riced out as that one. If i have to I will design and build something myself. something that flows with the lines of the car and doesn't destroy it.
I'm trying to keep an open mind and not limit the car to its absolute stock form. If GM had that same mentality in the late 80s then we wouldn't have the 91-92 style groundfx, body kit, whatever you want to call it. Just because you wanna call anything different "rice".
Non stock body kits CAN be a good thing! Or is this rice to?

that is a SIX DIGIT car designed for years by a team of top builders, not a backyard bodykit like most of them are. You wont find that elenaor body kit in a paper back catalog.......thats why its kick @ss. The ***** firebird kit is backyard crap.

that'd be like taking the nose off a silverado SS and smacking it on a T/A... yeah the piece itself might look good but on a muscle car it looks like ****.. that style of kit might look good on an import, but that's because that style will with the import body... it does not, however, fit a muslce car, nor would a truck nose... it's just ridiculous imo

That looks like the hood off of the 4th gen TA's. Which I dislike. And see, there's a difference between r!cers and tuners. I've seen a fairly stock body'd Honduh going around my town, it's quiet, he has a very minimal looking maximum functioning body kit that basically only cuts down air under the car, and a small wing that puts downpressure on the car. And he's fast as a demon out of hell. A r!cer has a mildly modified motor and fifty grand dropped into bodykits, neons, and all of the parts to get all of the stickers they plastered on their rides. This looks like a r!cer bodykit. All flash, no function. That, and it just looks bad.
Oh, and I side with everyone else on the Eleanor Mustang bodykit. I believe it was an expensive option from the factory, or from a company that bought them and suped them up way back then. You can get the bodykit now, but it's only holding a candle to the "true" Eleanor's.
Edit: Confirmed ideas on the Eleanor. It was a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 with an production run of two thousand forty-eight units. High powered, great styling, it was a true Shelby creation. Now there's a bodykit to do that, but it is only making it look like the Eleanor.

Wow... Yea. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't tear into the car for looking different. He wants brakes that *look* good? Personally I could care less if my brakes were pretty, as long as they stopped great they could look like they were made out of dog doo.

That's true. If I wasn't gonna keep the interior of this car stock, I'd totally get those seats. They look great, they're leather, and they have custom embroidering.

IF anyone has the pic of this kit still in primer that used to be floating around here can you post it? I think its kinda funny the site tries to sell these kits and doesn't even have decent pictures of it. And about that ram air 2 hood you were talking about Thescaryone, is on a whole lot of cars on this site =p
maybe i can do something with an RX7 fc kit. those cars are often mistaken for third gens around here they look so smiler to a sport coupe.
I dont like the kit enough to get that perticular one. the designers had a good idea with the basic look of it then threw some extra lines in there for... i dont know. It would only take about 15 mins to redesign it into something much better

why are we discussing use of just the sideskirts? You would still need a front end/rear bumper that flowed into or resembled the same design of the side skirts.
And about this elanor thing. Back in the sixties shelby took the fastbacks and did alot of body/engine mods to them. Those GT500 tailights are from the t-birds that went to the cougars that ended up on the GT500. Whatever hood/GFX/wheel changes shelby made was done by his hand and his staff of highly skilled and educated designers not some hot glue card-board cutters! Then when they began producing the 21 century elanors they were once again designed by guys like Foose and Shelby, they were not replicas, they are entirely different cars, they only resemble the old elanors. Those base cars start at $120,000. So how could anyone compare the mustang pictured above to the pieced together firebird? thats ignorant. Show me a $100,000 TransAm designed by Chipfoose with body kits and what not and then compare it to the elanor.

I just dislike the new TA's. They look too.... Bubbly. I don't mind the hump hoods, because those actually serve a purpose of giving you more room over your engine, and I know the Ram Air hoods *can* be functional but most I've seen aren't.
