the first link is the turbo body kit made by ASCD top left in the sponsors at the top of the page.

I think the general concensus is that most people hate it. Ill just speak for my self and say im not a fan. It adds nothing to the car and the bulges in the fenders dont suit the lines of the car, and i just generally dislike the new line that it does give the car. I love cars where the appearance is modified but id take stock over that any day.

When I first saw that kit a couple years ago, I wanted it. My interest waned soon after seeing all the great cars on this site. My interest was piqued again, and still is, when I saw this:

It looked cool in 1982 when the "road-race" look peaked - for about 2 months! LOL

I think it would be cool if it were about an inch narrower, it really looks "kit-y" because the doors are stock. Make the flares a little more subtle and I'd be interested.

As for the rear window louver treatment............:nono:

To sum up... this kit could look great with the right mind behind it. It will not be easy.

I recommend getting the kit through ASCD instead of TGR.
