1.Body kit = GONE with the wind
2.Hood = chick with weiner
3.Grille =

No Ground Effects , get a SLP grille , get a different hood (either stock , cowl induction of some sort , or SS) , them tips might stick a little too far out , Slp emblems gotta go too. Srry man not tryin to be an @sshole , just givin you my opinion.

be careful when you ask for opinions

I'd suggest selling the car and buying the WS6 you really wanted instead

The opinions I wanted were about the body kit, not the hood. I bought the car as it is now, and will be getting a sunoco hood when I get the money.
