and if he got some plexy glass an covered the lights that would not look to bad... it looks a bit to unfinished in my opinion.

its a work in progress i can tell looks good so far. i love the intercooler.

That is perhaps the ugliest car I have ever seen. I'm sorry but it really is. WTF was he thinking?

the best part about that car is its interior .. v. good. After that, the H.L conversion, rims, partial widebody and rear lip is up to the beholder as far as looks goes. I like the intercooler, but am not a fan whatsoever of the exterior styling.

Is that Steve84GS's car?

EDIT: Actually, I am sure of it now. He's the only one I've seen with TII brakes on an FB.

Get some engine shots.

I think the head lights have posibilities. I would not have chose the outer lamps he used but once he gets a trim piece done and installed with a cover they will look verry differant. the car once painted will convert some of the negative comments above. spacers on the wheels or new wheels that match the width of the wide fenders are a must, it will even be more pronounced after the paint job. any idea what color its going to be?

Looks like a large Mag-Lite Flashlight.

Or as I used to call it, my "Attitude Adjuster".
