Re: My cars

I really like the GTA, has that 89 TTA look to it.slap on a whale tale spoiler and it would be hard to tell the diff. the Trans Am, well I am going to be honest. the rear spoiler is going to get you some neg comments.I don't think all the blue in the engine bay and and the blue stripe are going to get you any brownie points on here. personally I am into the stock look with factory like graphics. I am old school though so ghost flames are always good. the middle stripe just screams at you to much imo.BUT if we all did our cars exactly the same then our cars would be boring.

Re: My cars

It looks like you did some nice work. I'm with transam84 the wing might not impress many on this site (but it looks as if it was on their "before".) But nonetheless, nice cars and nice shoes!
