the fender was changed because i changed it. the driver side was dented and we stripped an 84 trans am so we just decided to use the fender that had no dents so we didn't have to pull them out. as for the bumper i'm not sure why thats changed.

i guess that was said because you have a bunch of different color body parts, other than that looks nice; now get some paint

I agree with Nasty, I think it's just that it has so much happening, what with the scoops, ridges, and the cowl. I prefer the simplicity of the "power bulge" hood.

Edit:

I just wanted to add, that while it's not for me, I still give you credit for the upgrade, it's definately better then the stocker you had.

Y'know, that just might be the first aftermarket hood that I actually like. Of course, that opinion isn't set in stone and it hasn't been painted to match yet.

IMO, and there are certainly no flames intended, it just has too much going on which makes it tacky and seem kinda 'white
trash-ish'.

Hey it is (your) car-

and I like anyone who works on their car. I also like the results of making a effort to make the car a individial looking auto. Get it guys it is his car and while you have a opinion it should simply be kept to yourself in some cases-IMHO-Les

Usually when someone posts something like this, it's because they WANT other peoples opinion, so I think you should keep yours to yourself.

hey guys i didn't post this to get a big fight going. if someone doesn't like something on my car it's their opinion, but if thats their taste i can't make themchange thier mind. but if i like it on my car i'm going to keep it. thanks les for sticking up for me. lets not start a fighting thread here though guys.
