Seems like at speeds over 70 MPH the trunk lid would rip off... if not the spoiler itself. And is it me or is the unused cutout on the drivers side rear bumper LARGER than that on the passenger side?

The owner of that car is probably very proud of it.

I would be ashamed to drive it.

Boy... that brings me back!!!

Nice! That goes along with what I said in the first place but we dissagree about one thing... I would also go WIDER as well in the back.
Not too bad but about 305 would be perfect.

I'd say DO IT , Saddle.
Soon as my tires wear.. which will be a while from now... I am going with 305's in the back.
They look spectacular!

I thought this was a real post...I'm glad it's not. But unlike the post, that car is real

Oh, we don't disagree at all. I just meant that the main point was thick... but wide is good too.

I'm currently running 285s in the back... I wonder how much matching rims for a 305 upgrade would be for me... Hmmmm might have to look into that. Man, my car likes spending my money!

I'm not sure what the reasoning for the cutout on the rear bumper. Maybe she is planning on dual exhaust at some point? One thing she did get right is the hood, don't you think?

Yes, I DO like the hood. That's about the ONLY thing not f**ked up on that car.

Regarding the rear bumper, I figure somebody screwed up and sold it cheap on craigslist...
