Kinda like it, and it would for sure look much better with wider wheel and tires.

Kinda reminds me of a Supra from the back.
I'd hafta agree with everyone else on it needing wider tires. I mean, isnt that the whole point of the wide body kit in the 1st place?
Not digging the body colored center piece between the tailights either, but like someone already said, to each his own.

wider wheels are a must

Props for doing something risky and different, but looks like a lot of body filling was used.... I pesonally do not like it.... I would take a stock body in a heartbeat over that TA....

I like it but agree it would look better with wider wheels! From a side view it does kinda resemble a Supra(). Definitely gives an fbody a more exotic look!

It would look 100x better with wider wheels, and definitely wider than 12", mine are 12's and I already want them wider!

If they kept the lines where the bumpers met I, got some DEEP dish wide wheels, and a paint job (the paint looks horrible to me?) that car would be sex!
