Saw this on the freeway yesterday

Was on the way home from taking new pics of the vette and saw this. Not too many wide body birds... even more so, in polo green.

Doesnt look too bad... He should at least go with some wider wheels if he invested in the wide body. Did it look good in person?

It did look good in person. I got on the freeway and was about a 1/4 mile back, but you could see it was different from a far. I dont know if he cared too much about the wheels/tires. Looked like an older guy, probably retired military from the plate.

Looks bloated, reminds me of an 2nd gen Eclipse. Not a fan of the hood ins or shiney grill inserts.

But to each their own.

All in all it looks good. The few things I would change would be the center piece for the taillights back to black (not a fan of the body color pieces) and wider wheels and tires to fill the larger wells. Other then that I would sport it.

No problem, I just thought people might like to see more pics,

It looks good I think. I don't personally don't know any others, My car has been pretty much stripped and in the process of re-assymbally for the last 9 months and I haven't made it out to any of the gatherings.

Oddly enough I am working on a wide body myself!

I like it, but it could definitely use wider tires like this:

Not digging it . . . really do not like how all the body seams are gone . . . the bumpers are blended to the quarters the quarters blended to the rockers . . huge kudos for a lot of work.
