Chopped 3rd Gen
I keep looking for a forum for general discussions, third gen related, but I have yet to find one... SO I thought I would post it here.

Re: Chopped 3rd Gen
Ok... it has some appeal. But, IMO, the rear quarters are horrible and do not work with the bumper. I am not a fan of the Euro styling on the hood and rear deck.
Plus, I barely have headroom now.
Edit: The Euro styling I spoke of, is just reflections.

Re: Chopped 3rd Gen
kudos to the body and paint guys. I think the designer should get a smack in the mouth for that though.

Re: Chopped 3rd Gen
You mean they didn't want to take on chopping the stock hatch glass?
It looks to me like they used rear seat bottom cushions when constructing seats to fit under that chopped top. Interesting... lotsa work. I do like the taillight treatment, though!

Re: Chopped 3rd Gen
Some cars look good chopped. The 3rd gen just isn't one of them.
