The white one I do not care for. The red one doesn't look that bad, but I haven't seen the front of it yet. If I had to choose, I think I'd rather have the red formula without the aftermarket Gfx!

I still think factory ground effects are the nicest when it comes to 3rdgens.

Just my opinion.

They're all sweet. I actually prefer the white one. That car looks so fast. It probably isn't, but it looks the part. What would be sweet is if you could make the car breathe through those bottom openings.

Damn, I actually like the way all 3 look. Though I don't really like the stock looking Formula rims on the first white one. I think they would look sweet on a black car, and I think they look really cool on the 91/92 front, only way to get them close to the ground from what I have seen.

I think they would look good with the right set of aftermarket 16/17" wheels. W/factory wheels tho,,, pass.

GROSS!!! I hate that turbo hood!!! And as far as ground effects go...leave 'em stock. Anything else looks Honda-ish...or Ghetto-ish..whicher you prefer. Go for the nice clean lines and clean appearance. All of those aftermarket ground effects just make the car look cheap. The ones on the red and white cars are trying to make them look like a Testarosa...and not doing a very god job at it. If you want ground effects to take up some room between the car and the ground...lower it instead. I think more people would respect you for it. Just my opinion.

The predator kit doesnt look too bad, could use a taller spoiler though. But I gotta agree with CarNdriver on the hood. I freakin hate it!!!!

I have the predator kit on my car, i love it... Except that back, i cant stand the back behind the rear wheels, so im using TA GFX for back there, they are on the way. Here are some shots of it:




The rear shocks are blown in the pic, so its sitting kinda funny, hehe





The last two pics are after i hit a deer with the front of the car, since then the front GFX are off, and the TA GFX are on their way, along with a TA bumper with fog lights.....

What do you guys think of these? I was thinking of getting them for my '84 T/A, since stock parts are so damned expensive!


This whole kit is supposed to be under $600

Go for it! Those look like they belong on there, which is more than I can say for some other kits i've seen. They keep a 'period' look, as the Kustom guys say.
Sheesh, I just realised that my '86 is FIFTEEN YEARS OLD! Damn....
