I would actually like to see the same lol. Most of the 7s I see have lots of performance upgrades and maybe new rims but typically look stock. Which I like the original look to begin with but sometimes people have some good creative ideas, and sometimes some bad ones lol.

there was a guy a while back prolly a year or 2 that was a student in a autobody college and he turned his 1st gen into a 3rd gen exterior looks wise. Was pretty sweet. No1 makes flush headlights (ne more??) for our cars so u dont see that often. Every now and then u see a thread about the sleeper headlights and taking off the stock body molding. Our cars have some great looks for being a car from the 80's so alot of ppl dont mess with it.

i can do it? I've got the headlight delete from re-speed (its not on there site) but basically its a prop rod that keeps your headlights up or down and you can place em like that

pork thats called the "lazy eye mod" it looks decent but if u need to use ur lights at night ur fucked. hah. u have to manually move the motor up to where u want it then disco it from the switches.
im curious about that airdam as well. where do they sell them if they sell em at all any more?

Here's my functional hood scoop:
I made the scoop itself from scratch out of fiberglass using the bottom of a plastic litterbox as a mold. Then I cut a hole in the hood and mated it to the hood with resin, bondo, and a lot of time and effort. The supports in the center are pieces of wood that I cut to shape and then coated in resin and fiberglassed to both the scoop and the hood. It's really strong... I can pull the hood open with it. I still have to make an airbox for the underside to better direct the air into the filter.
I'm planning a custom spoiler next, and I have an idea for a new front bumper as well when time allows.

That hood scoop is real nifty.. these engines really suffer from not having a whole lot of room to make a cold air intake under the hood.. a scoop is almost your only option.
