I was just joking.


They've been talking about this rip off over in the Special Edition forums too.

The paint treatment on the ram air nostrils is very similar to a car belonging (or once belonging) to a member on this site. I don't remember the car I'm referring to having the fixed headlamps, filled in front plate pocket, or large wheels.

I Don't Likethe Wheels, Shift ****, Any Of The Yellow, The Nostril Paint, Or The Slingshot Insignia. I Do Like The Trans Am Badge Placement, The Arrowhead On The Fender, The Headlights, And Blackouts. Also The Billet Radio, Hvac Pieces

Man Bandit I thought you were serious for a second, before I read the second post hahahah

Anyways I agree the paint in the nostrils, the rear center piece on the taillights and yellow make me want to puke,

the rims look good. I actually think that if the yellow on the interior was maybe a different color it might look good.

As for the blacked out taillights, I ordered a set when this idiot in an escalade hit my TA in a parking lot and destroyed my passenger side tailight.

Those things are super super dark, you could bearly see the brake lights come on. I was afraid of driving it.

I hate the front end work, but I kind of like the interior.

i dont really like the yellow in that car but i think the seats are ok minus the stitching pattern and color, if they were silver/grey it'd be a lot better looking! but im kind of biased since I had my seats done kind of like that but retained the stock pattern

Those seats are not to bad, I just don't like the red stitching. I have red interior so I am a little biased towards the different colored seats, but mine came factory.

to each his own, i think black stitching would break up all that red in your car ( i know it came factory just saying).
