definitely unique. i dont like the wing(s) but he might. if the scoops were on the hood and made functional would be pretty cool but otherwise i dont know of a purpose they serve.

I don't like putting wings on top of other wings, especially aluminum ones. Its not horrible. It is not something I would do either.

I like it. I wouldn't stack the wing on the spoiler though, just go with the wing. Other than that, I still like it. Hell, if someone were to give it to me, I'd take it.

I think the paint would be nice on a show car. it looks like alot of time and effort. Other than that it is pretty nasty.

i wouldnt

If I got it for free, I would take it on one condition, if it had a TPI 5.0 or 5.7L, anything other than that I would not even bother. I already dropped some cash on my ride, and I am not about to drop some more cash on another thirdgen.

heheh. I have never liked the vents on the top. That kind of setup is only functional for rear engined cars to have a ram air effect.
