first thought yuck, but second look if done right and correctly colored matched, it might look ok. Some areas cops will give you a hard time though

Neat, but IMO it could be improved by having hte corners more squared off... and bigger slits. Match teh car better.

They do look ugly...

But I think that is because, for starters, the color of the car is a real dark wine color. And the covers dont even match.

If they were black, and the car was black, I think it would probably look really freaking cool.

Exceedingly ugly no matter what color you paint them. There's not one single section of the car that they match or compliment.

Somebody is always trying to change the best looking car ever built. Leave it alone.

I think matching up the paint would be ok.

i would think they would look good one a modernized car. what i mean is if someone was wanting to make the car look less 80's like, and had like the WS6 hood, and 18" wheels, and shaved most of the emblems, plus racing seats and such.....then they would go better with the car. as is on a stock thirdgen, i give it a solid thumbs down.
