Default Pic heavy, my ride...

Hi,

I'm not so good with technical things, so if there's no pics here then bear with me.
This is my 2001 TA WS6.

Well I like the front valence which I think only looks good on darker cars since it hides the number of openings on the front but that 2nd spoiler just kills it for me. No offense because I like the car overall but can't stand T/A's with double spoilers. Also, is that a reflector above your side air vents? I'm assuming those are required in Europe to make the car legal?

looks good but I agree with the others...lose the wing. The front valence isn't bad but I think your car should be lowered a bit. I like the stainless pieces.

Looks pretty good, but you gotta loose the wing. Otherwise, it's a pretty sharp car.

Nice car, looks like the batmobile.

I have quite a few people tell me I had the ugliest hood they've ever seen, so apparently I have bad taste.

Hate it. Lose the wing, body kit and rocket-booster tips.

I mean, if it wasnt for all those things it would basically be a WS6...

Thanks for all the kind words.

Yes, the reflector above the vents is a side indicator required for European use. I also had to add amber turn signals front and rear, fog light (rear) and new DRL. Our SVA entry test can be very harsh for these cars.

What wing?!

Get rid of the wing and valence and lower instead. just my opinion. The rest of the car is awsome.
