finally got a pic of my car on.

Everything is stock right now...Just trying to get it perfect running as well... But all and all it is beautiful. Need a new back wing from years of wind chipping... A little rust over driverside back fender... and thats it..

looks good, my suggestion would be a new rear hatch glass without the 3rd brake light, and i agree on the new wheels part.

but it doesnt look bad at all as it stands.

Nice car. Are you going to paint the new wing body color? I think it would look better.

Yes I am gonna paint the new wing the same color as the body. Also to everyone who made the comment about the rims I just talked to a guy that I could possibly be buying the black or gold gta rims from. I want them black so even if I get em gold might just have them powder-coated or just spray-painted. What do you think. Any other suggestions for rims? Would appreciate the feedback.

Thanx
Tom

I attempted to paint my rubber wing but i couldn't stop the orange peel. It looked like trash. See if you can find a nice fiberglass wing. Odds are the deck lid will be rusty...check it out.

Yeah, if there's a rust spot on the fender, I'll bet theres rust inside the rubber spoiler. The metal bracketry inside is rusted on 99% of them. I'll bet theres some "bumps" on the spoiler- that's the rust underneath.

I had to cut open the spoiler and dig out all the rusty stuff...i didn't want that running down on my fresh body job.

After I got all the rust out I sprayed some undercoating spray in there just in case. I then filled it out with fiberglass resin to give the wing some stability like it had before it rusted away. I then re-drilled the holes and re-mounted it.

Then I tried to paint it and it was a disaster. Save the time and get a fiberglass wing or a wing off of a firebird.
