Yeah...take it off correctly, unlike the morons who owned the car before I did...they took it off and left the holes there and now they're rusty. -_-

Nice Ride for sure! I think the wing is nice but, you should polish up your rims at least.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the rotary!

Keep the wing. It gives it that "old-school" style.

Keep that wing! Car will look much better with it if you pick up a front air dam to watch it.. just to show you what it could look like, here's a shot of mine.. looks pretty dang close...



Me like..

Wow, the carbs really did change over the years. My barrels don't look like that at all. I thought it wasn't a Nikki at first because of the 3 hole arrangement. Everywhere outside of that area looks Nikki though. *shrugs*

Dude, you car looks almost exactly like my old '82. Keep the wing for the old skool effect. I also say stay with the stock rims. Spend that money on the exhaust from RB. Very nice all around. You're lucky that you got a car with the velocity air cleaner and all the stock emissions removed. Makes life easier.

oh guess i should have explained huh.... i was bored so i took this kids bag and taped it to a trashcan in the hallway... i was not even thinking about it looking liek a bomb till i saw the principal and 5 security guards carrying it out to the baseball field.... I didn' thave the ***** to go tell them it was me till like 5 or 10 minutes later... when i did they were all pissed and said i should have came foreward sooner.... that is not my side of the story that is the truth and anyone in that class can swear to it.

Does that front end have exposed screws where the side parts fit onto the front air dam? I have one like that in my basement, unpainted, urethane... I scored it offa E-bay for like $200.

I also lke the wing. I have one that I want to put on my car... It's got some cracks in it though, I need to repair.

Yup.. the air dam has the the exposed screws on side parts. The rear wing also has an exposed screwhead on the front corner of the side runners as well.
