Shaved as in no wing, or shaved as in beavertail / Formula style?

Shaved wing as in no wing, looks like a Ford Taurus to me, not really a Probe.

I took my wing off for a few days while I was applying the stripes to the car and it looked ridiculous. I still have a few pictures floating around somewhere. Oh and with the reduced weight on the spoiler, be prepared for that hatch to come shotting up the second you hit the hatch release button. My chin still hurts!

You know what? that looks nice. I dont care what you guys say, he did a great job of pulling that look off, everyone has their own taste, it seems all ls1tech guys like is slammed car, tons of power, whistler mod, custom paint, rims.

people like this create diversity, and that took work to make

EDIT:

NOTE THE SIDE EXHAUST! thats sick. where can i get one of those

This car is a AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR!!!!!!!! Not SOME RICER WITH a rice burning sound. The car looks like a drifting nissan 240. Why would you ruin a perfectly good TA like that it has a solid rear axle which is meant to go straight not independent supension. Im sorry but I dont know why you would do this to a TA or a firebird. Each there on but I dont like it Sorry.

One thing about that chop, do you know that PVO stands for Performance Vehicle Operations, which was the predecessor to Dodge's SRT group?
