I sorta like the wing, wheels and body kit. It looks spacey.

Sweet, car looks to be in pretty good shape. GL with the restoration, thats a great color

Yea the 1st gens and big spoilers dont quite go together IMO unless the car has wild all around theme. And those wheels need to go partner, lol no offense
