G H E Y...........Is all I have to say about that.

It's your car do whatever you like to it. If it brings you pleasure who is to say what is right or wrong.

However I my opinion, it and all other body kits I have seen for the thirdgen are just hideous.

Or how to turn your f-body into a snow plow.

"Mr Plow... Mr Plow..."

Could also double as a cow-catcher.

That kit is chunderific. Don't do it man!

why fiberglass?? weight loss?



because if its weight loss, i bet all that cr@p on the car will make it weigh more..... not to mention the aero drag.

I dunno...maybe it's just because I'm young, but aside from that very out of place spoiler, I think that looks pretty damn good! Looks like a mix between a camaro, firebird, and newer mustang.

I think it'd be really cool to see in person.

And, about the snow plow thing, isn't that the same front ground f/x piece as a camaro?
