have you ever noticed

Have any of you ever noticed how hardcore the 7 looks with the front bumper off? I took mine off to work on the cracked paint a little and to straighten out the duct work on the car. I didn't notice how it looked at first, but I drove up to it today and thought, "damn, that looks kinda hardcore". Ah, it's probably hell on the areo dynimics though.

I'm not sure if I feel the same today, but when I look at the car in person it still looks neat, but this pic makes it look bad.

Yep, I've been there too man, with a '84 SE. Even if they look bad they're still great to drive.

And it's damn scary how light the frontend becomes without the bumper assembly! While putting the '80 back together, I'd take it for a spin around the neighborhood sans hood and bumper. With the cut springs and Tokico inserts, that front end was jumping on all the corners if i had any rough pavement at all...felt like a damn kit car...
