Sweet '69, would llovce the flares but can't force myself to cut my original 1/4 panels. I agree, don't care for the bubble lenses or spoiler.

That certainly does look good...if only one could run slicks on the street they certainly look a whole lot better with the painted letters than the ordinary raised white letters.

I like the white side pipes. I'd like more details on them. Are they Stahl's?

From the looks of it ( no collector/primaries visible) they're definitely stahls or maybe the hedmans but I suspect this one has the stahls. IMO they're the best looking of all sidepipes.

I like the rear spoiler, it gives the car that nice stance...without it it would be a lot more bland (well...as bland as a nice c3 can get)

I like the spoiler on THAT car. It just goes with the look of the car in my opinion. Love the big tires and side pipes. All around mean looking ride.
