Im driving an import!?!

Its got turn signals in the nose cone. I know they’re GM (because I worked in scrap yards for 25 years) I just can’t remember what they came off. They are upside down and transversed from right to left. (Left is in the right side, right is on the left side). They are the turn signal market lights. I know they aren’t Buick. I keep thinking calais but I have to pull one off and check for numbers.

To be more clear, the body kit was from Japan.

I’ve gone to a couple local shows. I always say it looks like the Mach five from the front I’m in the process of painting the nosecone now and I will be taking it this summer. Also considering black “lace?” Rims with polished aluminum (ala 80’s) to give it some dimension.

Welcome from another NJ C4 owner. The kit is not too bad, I have seen worse. The rear looks NSXish. Wheels would round it out a little better.

Default Kaminari Kit

^Yes^ I agree. It just looks “flat” from the profile. I’m working on the rims. I think black would be a nice contrast. However a friend of mine said white.

Any input?

The nose cone had some minor cracks in the paint from a bump before me I guess. Worked on it for two days and got them out. Painted it...perfect. Clear coat? Not very clear. On the first coat I noticed hue yellow on the overlap. 🤯. Got it all prepped and waiting for the temperature and dew point.

The side marker lights are factory.

the turn signals are from a small GM and I’ve been trying to figure it out. They are reversed left to right and upside down.

They are marker lights off of a cavalier, olds, something like that. I will get home and pull one out and check for numbers.

Mine is an 87 and I was told it was factory installed in California. So I’m thinking 87. Don’t see how they could possibly put ‘90 prism lights on it.

Part numbers would be awesome!

When you say the side markers are factory, what do you mean? They look a lot slimmer than the ones on my 1990 bumper.

Thanks a ton!
