Even the 93 TA's had the big wings, not the small nub one. Are you sure about that? I can't see the front end, are you sure it's a TA front bumper cover?
Side skirts can easily be added so I was thinking that's what he did.
Ah, found some more pics.

You gonna hate me for this, I'm going to paint this car satin army green, and satin black, with a Predatorhood, and those TTII going satin black..

I've always like this one and the SOM one with the same hood/rims...there is just something about the deleted side molding and raptor hoods that set these things off.

wow howd he get it so low? i have an eibach kit on stock shocks you think if i switched to some kyb gas adjustable shocks it make a difference? i know it made a difference in the front! a 1.8 kit ended up being a 3 inch kit with the shocks. looks great against the ground like that

I had a friend with a 94 TA with a low rise wing.

Might as well leave my mark here too. These are the only good shots I have with the new hood. Tint/System coming, and I'd like to drop it.
Pre-Hood era.
And a little PS touch..

I like the blackout effect on the back for sure ... beautifil car man. Did you order blackout taillights or user the spray to do it yourself? I used 600 and 2000 grit wet paper and then rubbing compound and polish ... to smooth out the middle filler panel and was getting ready to order the spray to finish the taillight blackout. Looking for a few tips if you have time to share.
