Well, I commend you on your efforts, but I do not enjoy the looks.

Keep up the work, I am sure it will look different when complete.

Also, please do something with the exhaust, do not leave that exit before the front of the rear wheels BS. LOL

You put a lot of hard work into this car and I think it looks good. I do have mixed feelings about the hatch but it looks OK. One thing to remember is it is YOUR car and YOU should like it now everyone else. If we all did the same mods to our cars with out some changes we would all look like we were driving stock F-body's. Keep up the good work and take pics along the way.

IMO - if you ditched the hatch then it might blend better with the TA front end, suspect you haven't finished the rocker panels. Looks like those might be the last to go on.

Ton of work though so credits for that at least.

I like the exhaust and the hatch.

I've always liked the lt-1 ta front end and tail lights though. Looks like a fun project. I like it.
