I'm a big fan of the Wings West Body Kit. I think it looks great on your car and I really love the Boyd Coddington wheels. I was really close to purchasing them, but ended up going with CCW 505a's. By the way, where did you get the "Ram Air" decal that's on the hood? Also, what is that orange thing right above the front fender vents?

Looks good. Have the kit on mine, believe it looks way meaner. The only thing is get rid of the front plate.

Kit looks nice, but not a fan of the silly snake license plate frame.
And parking in the handicap spot is a real douchebag move.

So is this post IMO. You don't know anything about the guy to assume he can't park three or if he was even the one who parked it there. For all we know he went to pick it up and it was parked there.

I know enough to notice that there are no handicap plates on it, nor a placard hanging from the mirror.

And I didn't say who parked it there. Whoever did it was a douchebag, whether it was the owner, the mechanic, or the hobo down on the corner panhandling for more booze money.

Question

So you got the full body kit or JUST the front air dam?
I had the front dam on my car and I took it off becuase I was not happy how it fit and the way it mounted how did you mount yours to the car other than with what came with it?

I think the orange thing on the side is a marker light.

Thanks for looking, I had the ram air decals made and the orange thing is a side repeater (blinker or indicator ) which we here in the uk have to have.

Hi, I took off all the 3m tape and installed the whole kit with black glue also used the screws that came with the kit under the side skirts and under the front air dam.

Yea I found that the body kit was too heavy for the 3m tape so I pulled it all off, then I smoothed the area where the tape was for a better fit and used black silicon glue and also used screws under the side skirts and under the front air dam, took my time but got the job done perfect.
