Re: INTERESTING BODY MODS. ????

Quite interesting, but kinda...I don't know...strikes me as cheap-ish.

Here's some pics from the ebay site to boost the thread ratings haha

Super fast? I know ha...I mean I run a 6 with a custom exhaust and air intake but I wouldn't call it "super" fast...I'd say the car's quick though.

The whole 3 spoilers/homemade tail light covers look isn't too hot though

Yeah tell me about it....seems the only good thing about our cars when compared to newer ones is we don't have regulated top speeds and RPMs etc. by the car's computer.

Re: INTERESTING BODY MODS. ????

There are a few interesting ideas on that car.. the fender louvers are better than a lot of jobs I've seen, although I can't tell about the actual craftsmanship from those pics. They're angled a bit wrong, but overall they're not bad.

The headlight covers give it a race car look that isn't too bad. I'm curious as to how the new front grille would look if he had made it a v to match the body lines. Also curious as to the reason for it. Just trying a new look, or does it really give better airflow?

The one thing I really like is how he painted the rims.

The rear headlight covers are not a bad idea, they just don't fit the camaro tail lights. I believe very similar covers were stock on certain Impalas.

The glovebox was a nice idea, poor implementation. Diamond plate looks horrible on any interior unless it's floor mats in a truck or something. Also, the way the right side of it protrudes further than the rest of the dash.... it ruins the symmetry.

Not much else going on that I see as positive.

To me it looks like he hit up the scrap yard and just slapped on what ever he could salvage.
