I finally got some decent pics of my car

Here it is, my 1992 RS. I just had prom yesterday so I had it all cleaned up for that. Also, is everyone that touches my car a complete moron? Yesterday at the detail shop, the detailer slammed my hatch down. That would have been fine, but I have the electric hatch motor. Later that night at the dance, the vallet parker got in my car. He sat down and tried putting it in gear without pushing in the clutch. It went CRUUUNNCHHH; and to add insult to injury, he killed the car and had to rev it to about 4 grand to prevent killing it as he drove away. I had a word with his boss and hopefully he will have his @ss handed to him.

Thanks for the compliments guys, keep em' coming! Yeah, it is the stock hood with ram air add ons, They were thru summit if I remember right. The intended application was for newer full size trucks.

Looks nice, except I don't like the windshield banner along the bottom of the windshield. Very clean though.. I see you're from IL.. are you going to the gathering the 25th?

Looking good!

Question, what are the measurements on those scoops (they're from Lund, BTW), I was wondering if they'd fit over the stock louver/blister area for a nice looking install...

Also, did you 'glass them on? Are they functional?

I'll take the measurements when I get home from work, and they are just put on with adhesive. You do have to paint them or get them painted though. And you are correct, they are made by Lund. You could get them thru summit, jeg's I think JC Whitney, or pretty much any other car catalog.

Thanks again guys

P.S.-- My scoops are not functional yet, but it wouldn't be to difficult to make the modifications to make them functional.

Nice car. But as some others said, I dont like the banner on the sheild, and the mudflaps.

Very clean otherwise.

Wow, that is unique.. (no, not a bad unique...)

The banner looks good too.. I'm curious about those scoops.. can you take some pics of how they are molded onto the hood? I'd like to see them up close...
