I'm digging the hood treatment of the graphics. Side exhaust has GOT to make getting in and out a pain though. ;)

I have never seen side pipes like that before. I can't tell if I like them, or if they're just unique.

Any body else notice where the fog lights are mounted? :hick:
It looks as if it may have started as an elan.

Did you see this? Makes you wonder.

That's just bad. It's one of the worst paint/ striping I've seen come out of the 80's. I hope nothing like that makes a comeback.:yuck:
