Re: my 1987 gta

It looks nice and clean! The only thing I don't care for is the spoiler... doesn't go with the car.

Re: my 1987 gta

I agree, that wing has to go. Any 3rd gen wing will do, and sadly even a 4th gen wing would be an improvement on that Erebuni special.

You are correct, but this spoiler falls in the category of "stick on"
Example would be: Vent holes in the fenders, Stickers, Visors, HUGE body kits, Stock on hood scoops, curb fellers, ect ect ect ......

Fact is Fact, Its ugly as hell and to say you like this means you have absolutely no taste in smooth sleek design..



BUT THE CAR IS CLEAN!!!!!!

also i have to add....please don't degrade my wing..when you were going to replace your original spoiler yourself..with an $80 ebay pos.....that's fairly retarded....isn't that also a "STICK-ON"...look at yours first before making statements...my wing was just slightly more then $80 bucks....and matches the paint.....thanks for your opinion..but you might want to keep it to yourself......

Re: my 1987 gta

Sorry im not gonna tell a fat person there skinny.

It an opinion dude, if you dont like it then ignore it
I said you had a clean car...YOU DO!!!
The spoiler is hideous, most people seem to agree.....
I dont have $400+shipping for a fiberglass replica or and dont like 4th gen wings and i found the $80 one that is VERY close to the stock spoiler witch looks good IN MY OPINON..... lol
