Take the hood and spoiler off and it would be acceptable.

The scoop on the hood is just for looks but it has been removed since the pictures.

Kinda funny looking.  Looks VERY "1988ish" since every body kit looked like that back then.  Skirts, scoops, and spoilers.  Bleh.

Oh, and BTW - the Raisin Bran TC hood is freaking ugly...

Wow. . . :toilet:

way to much clutter on that car. However if put into the right hands it may become a very respectable looking car.

I don't like the fake scoop but i do like the spoiler and the gfx.  On second look the spoiler is too big a little shorter would be perfect.  The reserve isnt met but its at the same price I paid for my cat, I'd jump on it if i had the cash.  It'd be nice to have my own turbo 4 to beat on the hondas in town.

I like almost everything about that car; even the spoiler.

I not a fan of the scoop... maybe on a non-TC hood it would look good.. and I see it was removed..(but I would take new pictures), the spoiler is to much nascarish, though I like it. but I am a v8 guy at heart, nothing against the 4's though they hold there own.. though if I could I would probably buy it and slap a blown v8 in there...

D'oh!  I must've been drinking when I posted that.  I meant to say take the aftermarket 'scoop' off.  I don't have anything against the TC hood, especially when it's neccessary as it is on this car.  Besides, the scoop is a dead issue because it's already been removed. 

I guess I'll reverse my decision.  I love it.

I like it a lot. Even the rear spoiler, I was thinking of doing something similar.

He said it, so I don't have to.


*edit*
Except for liking the 80's. What, are you nuts? The rules clearly state that no person who first hand witnessed the 80's is allowed to like it.

Need I remind you?

I like the car other then the hood scoop, anyone knows where I could get a spoiler like that ill even take a smaller one but that’s the type I like. Though most are going to disagree but I am a nascar fan.

I had a spoiler like that on my last car that got rear ended. I made it from scratch. In fact its out in the shed now. Somehow it did not break when the car was rear ended.

Andrew, if it's not too much to ask, are you sellin the "wing"?
Title: I want this car
Post by: andrew beedle on November 15, 2006, 07:00:37 PM
Well see the thing is it was all smoothed into trunk lid as well as the quarter panel contoured to match the spoiler so just putting the trunk lid on a car would not look right with out making it blend into the quarter panel. Plus it was made 5 years ago when I was learning how to do body work and make fiberglass parts so there was not enough fiberglass matting put over the foam core so now there seams to be some soft spots on the spoiler. So you would be better off starting from scratch again then trying to fix mine. I could possibly build another but if I were going to do it to my car I would build it out of metal being I have the tools to do it now.

i like it alot, but i would have to have put a 302 in it

Post by: 84 Fila on November 15, 2006, 08:02:10 PM
I could see that. If not a 302 then atleast a V8
