where are those taillights, musta missed them. And i'm also not a big fan of the kit, to euro-spec for my tastes on an american car....especially one that is about as far from european goes (given that decade). Something more simliar to the callaway kit found on the C4 vettes would be nicer, lower it, extra ground fx, hang-over spoiler, tad more american, and i'd think that people who are developing body kits could find something better than jegs hood scoops, but that's just a personal gripe.

ya know i think the only thing on the kit that i really don't mind, infact i'm kinda in favor of are the grill inserts.

just could never justify spending a grand to make a car look funny.

yea i noticed that too..the key thing is prolly still there so when you stick the key in there, and turn it, there is a sensor that pops the solonoid, so the door opens...so then you don't have a remote...i wouldn't do it that way, but looks like thats the way he has it...and those mirrors, YUCK!! I never seen any ugly mirrors than that..they are like ant antenna's or soemthing...that whole car is a disgrace....a grand for a body kit isn't cheap either, waste of money IMO...

The car is not any better in person either. Saw it at NOPI in ATL this year...not digging it. The car was not well done. To me it looked like shoddy workmanship. Can't really comment on the quailty of the GFX, but the interior was bad. Could not see the engine bay! Did not get much time with it though. Hoping it will come around to some more local stuff. So I can get a better look. I have to dig out those pics I took of it!

Minus the decals, wing, rocker panels, wheels, mirrors, and gill on the side of the front rocker it would look pretty nice. So most of the front end, the rear end, mainly the lights would look good. I also think the hood may look nice.
