Many have. It looks good as long as you can keep up with the aggresive look i.e. rims, hood and so on.

Hahaha. I wanted to get the KITT light too, but the cops in my town pull you over for a dim light so it's not worth the tickets.

No, there isn't a lot of fog in Ames but I do like all the lights. Right now those lights are used as my headlight since the drivers side headlight motor burnt out. Haven't had a chance to replace it yet. Will be doing that soon and I think I might change out the headlights to angel eye headlights. Seen them on ebay for our cars and I have been looking for them for quite a while.

30 is excessive. The spoiler looks great though and so does the rest of the car. I got tickets for one of my headlights down... Stupid NJ law having nothing better to do

I think you may want to try using a modded 91-92 style TA spoiler. I was thinking about making it taller somehow. The 91-92 spoiler is not as round as the 4th gen's and will look better. My .02!

do you ever get in any trouble for turning the knight rider light on at night? and... do those lights appear to be blue? i think the pigs might be a little angry about the red and blue in the front!! haha maybe its just for show?!

Your car looks pretty tight Bro, been thinking about the uplevel spoiler myself. How did you manage to get that thing bolted down? Did you have to drill new holes?

Yeah, I had to drill new holes and have the old ones filled in. We welded the old ones shut when I had the car painted. It took a while to get the spoiler on because I wanted to make sure I had it in the right spot and make sure the holes lined up so I didn't destroy the rear deck trying to drill the holes. If you decide to do this just take your time and don't rush things. When I was ready to drill the first hole, I think I stared at it for about 30 minutes because I was scared to drill through and mess it up. In the end I think I was only off a little on 1 hole. In the end it turned out really well, I think.
