a wide body kit and different color (red or cobalt blue i think) plus shaved door handles and a sound system, nothing more than things to make it a unique ride

As I said in my lounge post:

1.) Overspray
2.) Wing... Functional or not... If not, then I'm not too keen on it.
3.) Exhaust tips... can ya get a clearer pic of em?

IMO you don't need to add anything to it to make it good, you need to take stuff off.....

First to go is that spoiler, since I doubt you regularly cruise at 120 mph it won't be needed

Second is that guage....honestly it looks like one of those huge outdoor thermometers...

Hows the paint over the plastic on the sides working out? Peeling or cracking or anything?

Well, unless its really ******* fast, I say trash the wing. Dont see the need for a huge dash-tach, but onter than that, I like the kit, its a clean look.

new wheels... and a different muffler, like 3" all back for the turbo.... and then you should be good... I dont like the trim on the sides either... but since the bumpers must have them molded on, good luck taking them off and smoothing them out....


Laters, Andrew

Why doesn't anyone manufacture front and back bumper skins without the molding? I think that would like oh so nice w/o molding on the sides and bumper skins. Nice a smoooooooooth

Thats just a thought.
