Very close to what I have in mind but I think the size is a bit off. I will have one in a few weeks and then we will see what it looks like. Thanks

We will see once I get the spoiler. I will go down and get a shaker can of red paint and give it a coat and see what it looks like. I just got called on a job in Kansas so all of this will have to be put on the back burner until I get back.

Hey FF, what about your car. BTW the spoiler is here but I am waiting for a POS trunk lid to come in to try it out. I do not want to punch holes in my trunk lid. I will have it next week and let you guys decide on whether or not it looks right.

OK, back on topic now... The rear spoiler looks o-k, but I wouldn't do it. I don't really like it. That would be a nice car if somebody would've had better taste/ spent a little more time. Whats up with the dirty flat black engine bay? And all the chrome is ugly too. Looks like they cut a lot of corners. The interior doesn't look all that good. The bezel for the aftermarket shifter doesnt fit the floor, the rear brake lines have pieces of tubing spliced together, Door panels don't look all that good, ect. Also, why the heck did they put in a Dana 44 rearend??? An 8.8 would've been much better. Yes the 44 can handle the power o-k, but it just doesn't fit with the car IMO. I don't know, the car could be much nicer with some better taste.
