Before and After Pictures

I did some body modifications (GTA Wheels, Rear Hatch, Taillights). I think the car looks 200% better. Let me know what you think.

Wow, that really looks great! Might I suggest getting a door hinge rebuild kit from Classic Industries though? Everything looks so good that your sagging driver side door kind of sticks out. I think they're about $90. :hail:

Just the rims made it look better, the spoiler looks great. Altogether it does look better.

I am going to be putting ground effect on the car as soon as i get it painted. The door is slightly opened, I didn't close it all the way, lol. My door shuts well actually. I like the new rims because you can see the caliper better through them, and they are 16" as opposed to my old 15" inchers. I may have another set of GTA rims for sale pretty soon so I will let you know, or maybe we could work out a deal for the old ones if those are the ones you want.

I bought the wing, rims w/tires, and taillights off a guy who was parting a car for $400. I know exactly how you feel, I've been looking for these rims and wing for SOOOOOOOO long!
