    I think you'd do a lot better putting the girl inside your car instead of the body kit outside...

    Wow. You're so nice while we bash all over your idea.

    I had an '82 and always felt that the styling was graceful and dignified. Not flashy certainly, but refined and elegant on a sensible scale. Given that the lines are very clean and understated, I don't think it could ever carry off a loud body kit, especially if it's something you kinda jury-rigged together. Yeah, the car is invisible now, but that might be better than a car that's a laughingstock. If you just have to have flash, you might think about a different ride.

    well it could work if that screen was thrown in the trash can,and after cutting it all up and lots of fiberglass and bumper filler, and removing about half of it.
