POST UGLY '69-70s HERE!

[70vert]

In order to succeed, you must first learn how to fail. Somebody said that. So, post some ugly stangs. I'm following Pak's lead and I can recall some other bad stangs (remember the Pimpmobile?) in the past so let's post some good ones.

I'll start it out with: the David Letterman (note gap in bottom vane of the grill)

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/477000-477999/477017_3.jpg

[Pakrat]

Hunh, where did I lead you too?

Good idea anyway, pretty ones are everywhere but the ugly ones, man they stick with you for life like luggage.

There isn't a larger pic of the Letterman? I'd like to see a closer look at that grill and what the heck he did, I thought it was a 70 at a glance, I can't belive he yanked the inboard lights.

[70vert]

I actually wish there was a billet grille for the '70 and have wondered how a Shelby mesh grille would look. I even saw a grille painted in chrome that looked good - I think it was Nitrous Eater on stangnet. Letterman is otherwise nice, but that grille has to go.

I looked through cardomain a little more and couldn't find anything really fugly except maybe a drag-oriented car.

[Pakrat]

Yeah actually Nitrous's car just has the deluxe grande grill, that chrome look is stock just not common and it's only on the front surface. I have been messing with some ideas as well to slightly mod mine. I would like to know if the Shelby grille could be modded too, I'm sure anything can be but I don't feel like spending the money on one to find out and maybe fail.

My current project is to chrome only the vertical bars on the grid of the stock grill to sort of acheive the look you'd get with a billet grill. I am using some adhesive chrome pin striping for the test to see how it looks.

The second plan is to take some diamond shape grill stock simillar in appearance to that of the Shelby side scoops (and grill) and to shape and lay it over the front of the stock grill, perhaps even using a layer of regular fine window screen in between it and the stock to mask the visibility of the grid behind it. I'll post some pics and put it to a vote when I'm done.

i can't believe no one makes a billet grill already for the 69 or 70 crowd.

[bnickel]

hey Pak, one thing you can do if you decide to go with the shelby style grille would be to cut out most the horizontal part of the stock grille and leave just a few of the vertical pieces behind it to give it some strength. also if you were to rivet the shelby style grille to the "frame" of the stock grille you probably wouldn't even need any of the "grid work" at all. i'm curious to see how you're chrome grille turns out, if the pinstriping works pretty good you might consider getting a sheet of the chrome mylar from a sign company, most of them should have some in stock and you may even get lucky and get a remnant in the size you need

[Pakrat]

Yeah good ideas. Becasue I have an extra grill to work with from the parts car, I may experiment further with chopping sections out if my preliminary experiments show some merit.

[bnickel]

sweet, let me know how it's going and POST PICS.

I'm gonna host the uglies so when the ad goes down they stay up:

The hood decal is kind of liveable, but the hole in the hood, the mural on the back, and the wheels? :roll:

[bnickel]

nd put a shaker scoop back in the hole that was obviously meant for a shaker at one time and it would be a decent ride.

[bswor]

Yeh the rims just dont fit the car. And the mural on the back, and the black roof that doesnt go all the way back.

[MDinDestin]

This one needs a bit o work.

OK. After seeing that I don't feel bad paying 3500 for a running car now:

[70vert]

it's easy to see how that last race turned out. :lol:

[70vert]

too much rake on this one:

[bswor]

I like the stance actually, the tires and rims need to replaced with bigger rims and some sharper tires.

[bnickel]

no there's too much wheelwell out back, if anything i think the front may be a litlle too low.

[Pakrat]

Yeah, but what about that spoiler???? :oops:

[bnickel]

yeah what about that spoiler Pak :D i must say the one on your car looks much better than that one

[Pakrat]

Hey, well of course I'd be inclined to agree, (before BSWOR tainted me anyway). :wink: Probably becasue mine is original and sits just a tad lower than this one does which is probably aftermarket. Still curious how it would look with the new decklid despite the general feelings on it, I'd have to be 100% sure of it to go driiling holes in that new piece though. :roll: Think it could be temporarily bonded on with auto grade tape?

[bnickel]

i'm not sure i would chance it honestly. i'd hate for it to come flying off on the road

[Pakrat]

i'm not sure i would chance it honestly. i'd hate for it to come flying off on the road

Yeah, so would the poor schmuck behind me too I guess.

[70vert]

but it's not purty. I love the US, shop American when I can (American Apparel, Converse before they stopped in the US), look for US-made and local stuff as much as possible, but this is too much:

http://photos22.flickr.com/27781462_5d9ee12355.jpg?v=0

Don't despoil the flag by painting it on your rusty mustang. Unless you're Captain America or something and you keep your shield in the trunk. The Easy Rider thing was cool, but this is just dorky.

[stangme]

yeah, should have used the paint on the mobile home instead.

[bswor]

yeah, should have used the paint on the mobile home instead.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[bnickel]

hmmm. i thought that car looked familiar. a guy over one the vmf has one that used to look that. it's now completely different thank god. at first i thought it was the same car but after further examination it's not. that's just too damn weird for me though.

http://www.thehewitt.net/guru/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Car-Shows-and-our-Cars

[70vert]

then you shoulda got a superbird, bee-beep!

yes, there is a Mustang under there:

[Pakrat]

Gee that's an awful lot of man hours and custom fabbing for something so hideous.

I can honestly say I have finally seen the first candidate I would actually recommend becomes an Eleanor. 8)

Pak.

[MDinDestin]

That is sad! :lol:

[bswor]

I hope that thing breaks some kind of speed records at least bluckkkkk

[70vert]

Hey guys, check this out and compare it to the red "Superbird" stang - separated at birth? Maybe that guy got a job on the Lexus design team??

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/07/production-lexus-lf-a-supercar-in-the-works/

I don't like that swept-down-nose look at all, looks out of place on that body . . .

[Ltnrisk]

wow that superbird-mustang is the worst i have like ever seen other than the mustang with a plow cause i mean thats crazy. But I bet that superbird one could float or atleast the nose would second as a vacuum. Cause that would make a cool vacuum.

[guigui]

you said ugly??

what about this one ? it's in south of france in the 80's :crying:

i won with this one no?

[guigui]

look at the walkman headset on the mirror !

[bswor]

Thats not that bad... haha Well at least everything looks like it could be undone at least.

[GreaseMonkey]

wow, I was thinking about what it would look like if you painted the grill like that, but now i am definitely not any more! thank you for posting that!

[bnickel]

yeah other than the paint job that one isn't all that bad. it pretty much look the part of late 70's street machine.

[guigui]

yes but the paint is particulary "special"

it make advertise for someone whose job is to paint on building , you can see a phone number on the chin spoiler ( which seems to be a house made ... well done )

but the probleme is the paint ! all red with all this letters ...

[bnickel]

true, but it's still fairly easily corrected. cars like the "superbird" car are really hard to fix the UGLY on. the guy that now owns that car is trying to restore it back original and so far has had to replace EVERY PIECE of sheetmetal on it. both quarters, both doors, both fenders, hood, trunk lid, taillight panel, front and rear valance panels, everything except the roof.

like the saying says, beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes stright to the bone.

[Cam3512]

While we're on the topic of grills, I just replaced mine and have a couple quick questions -

1. The plastic rivits used to attache the grill. I got them from MU. Do you tap the little post until it's flush with the plastic disk for total attachment?

2. I added a new Mustang "running horse" emblem. The old grill and emblem (I think they're original) had the horse attached 7 verticle spaces to the right from the center of the grill, so I put the new one in the same place. I've seen the emblem everywhere on the right side. Which is correct? Pakrat, you're looks like mine.

3. AGAIN, how do the inner headlight doors attach to the grill using the hole up top? I got new screws for the bottom slots, and have temporarily used small wire ties up top.

Yoiks Cam, odd spot for an off topic question, I all but missed it completely. Anyway, I know what you mean, I have seen it all over the place myself on a variety of cars, even show cars. Even in some Ford official adds I have seen it wrong. The assembly manual however says that it is 3 full sections to the left of the headlight bucket, 3 1/2 if you count the half of one that the bucket overlaps in other words.

Oh, as for the other ???'s, 1) Yes and 3) they attach the same as most of the hardware on these cars do. A thin metal U shaped clip nut slides over the tab and has a threaded hole that lines up with the hole in the tab. You then use a sheetmetal screw to secure it.

what gives people ideas like this?!?!!??!:death: :confused1:

Um, Chess Boards, Bathroom floors, racing flags and lots and lots of very heavy drugs.

Oh man, that bites. This hits way too close to home for me.:pinch: Looks like it was a cool car too, interesting 65'ish exhaust exit going on there.

You know it's funny but over this last week as I have been finally zeroing in on my cars completion my excitement has suddenly been turning into anxiety at the thought of getting back on the road. I honestly don't know if I could take going thru this again and there are so many bad drivers out there. I have no intentions of owning a trailer queen (unless I was like 70, unable to drive and still in love with these cars) so the only alternative would be to give up really.

[70vert]

(apologies to ricers out there, at least your air dams are appropriate to the car)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280016045654&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:2

this has a lot wrong with it. The front air dam, the side ground effects, the c-stripe-plus-something-else. More appropriate to Hot Wheels. Pic attached for after they take down the eBay auction.

[70vert]

on the smashed-up Mach, I wonder if his gas tank was affected? I would make REAL sure to check it out completely before driving it like that. We all know about the famous weakness of the Mustang gas tank design. If you ever get rearended, check it out THOROUGHLY.

Yeah actually Nitrous's car just has the deluxe grande grill, that chrome look is stock just not common and it's only on the front surface. I have been messing with some ideas as well to slightly mod mine. I would like to know if the Shelby grille could be modded too, I'm sure anything can be but I don't feel like spending the money on one to find out and maybe fail.


I'm still not sure if the grill is stock or if it was modified by the previous owner. If you look at it up close, it looks like someone put chrome door edge guard stuff over the horizontal grill bars. I wish there was some sort of a billet replacement tho as it's starting to flake off and needs to be replaced.

How did your experiments go?

LOL, let me guess, you did a search for nitrous and discovered we were including you for over a year before you joined.

Still playing around with it. It kinda fell down on the list of things to do as I'm still not back on the road yet. I guess I never noticed yours was just the horizontal part, I always thought it was the grande style like in 69 for some reason with chrome rectangles ont he facing. Yours is basically how I hope mine will look in the end.

Lol.. Actually I just happened across the thread as I try to read the stickies. THEN I did a search for "nitrous" and nothing else came up :(

Well.. letme know when you do decide to play with it again.

Gentlemen, your champion.

[70Coupe]

What In The MotherF**king Hell. what riceburning retard what rape a 69 Fastback like that. do you know who did that, uz if you do, shoot them on site.

That picture has actually been round the track for several years now, you should see a shot of the front! Scoop ontop of scoop.

yep cowl hood with a typical CJ style hood scoop. it's like a 3" cowl hood too. IIRC

[StangGuy]

:shit: Uh,...please,....no,....stop !

[70Coupe]

did they actually think it looked kool or something. my god, makes me sick. the double scoop is the most stupidest thing, along with the bumper covers, chop top, and traditional ricer wing. sadly, i think someone needs to shoot that horse to stop it from suffering any longer.

[69 convertible]

Talking about strange and ugly things to do, this was recently sold here in Norway. It´s still untold if he get any licenseplates for it

actually, i think that's a pretty cool car. definitely kind of strange but i like it.

[guigui]

uhm :huh: ?! i'm not in love of that convertible ; but not as bad as the 69 on the top of this page !:biggrin:

[Pakrat]

I'm not even sure what I'm looking at here, is that a 66 slowback conversion or something?

[bnickel]

looks like a coupe to vert conversion to me

[Pakrat]

Hunh, the top must be custom then because it has a real weird shape to it, almost like one of those miatastangs.

[bnickel]

yeah the top is definitely custom. looks they were trying to make a fastback looking vert top.

[Arrowhead]

Here's one I just picked up for parts. Someone took a real Grande and added fake Mach I stuff.

It's actually a goldmine for me as it has all the parts I'm missing for my 70 coupe project. It even has the Mach I tag on the dash clock trim

[Arrowhead]

Here's another that's not to my taste.

[bnickel]

i absoluetly can not understand why anyone would want to shop the top on a Mustang!!! chopping it off completely to make fauxvertible i can see but not a lead sled style chopped top, totally screws up the lines of the car, not like on an old Merc where it actually enhances the lines.

[Pakrat]

I'm not even sure what year this car is or what it is trying to be but it looks like a collection of parts from the whole classic run and some Mercedes too.:stuart:

well, i actually kinda liked that car. at least when it's all buttoned up it looks pretty much like a regular mustang with some shelby 'glass. would i do that to my car? HELL NO, but the quality of the work on this car is incredible and it looks fairly normal until you open everything up.

[Pakrat]

I guess I'd have to see a pic buttoned then because like this does nothing for me.

i'm just trying to figure out if someone was really pissed at the owner and ran over the car a bunch of times with their tractor or if the car got wrecked and landed there after flipping a couple dozen times

[Protowrxs]

I think that is the "tornadoed" Stang I've seen before. ??

At least no one was in it at the time.

[Protowrxs]

Double post but here is some text I found in regard to the incident:

David Drummond:
"There were two cars in the garage of the home, a late model Ford Taurus (14k miles on it) and a mint condition 1969 Mach I Mustang. Allen told us that he had wanted one all his life and finally had sold a portion of their farm to realize his life dream of getting one. He only had liablity insurance on the Mustang. Both cars wound up in the field MANY yards SE of the home. I walked this out from the garage to the car today at roughly 275 yards where it came to rest. Also could not see any sign that it had been rolled or drug along the ground, in fact it appeared to have just been "dropped" in place. I am certainly no expert at damage surveys but that is what it looked like to the 4 of use that were out looking at this. Doesn't the car alone qualify this for an F5?"

[GreaseMonkey]

awww now thats just depressing :crying:

[bnickel]

is it just me or does something there on the right side of the pic look like something was photoshopped out of the pic, or maybe into the pic? right next to the door and under the 1/4 panel there is a circular looking distortion to the pic.

[bnickel]

actually now that i look at it really closely the entire pic looks chopped.

get rid of that hood and rediculous air cleaner, and the black painted parts and it would look a lot better

that interior needs a lot more help though!

haha that car is up for sale on ebay, RIGHT NOW!

[SlimeGold 69]

I know this is a 68 but I have seen 69's done the same way. Not a good idea.

[Pakrat]

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

I have seen the headlights doubled up on in the past but tripled up on, yikes! The only way to make it worse would be if instead of sequentials it went back and forth like Knight Rider or a Cylon or something.

[DarkBuddha]

I wonder if these have been posted yet? Apparently from a Moscow "exotic" car show:

[bnickel]

ya know that really isn't all that bad. it could use some work and definitely get rid of the lower scoops but that could be workable. i'd always wanted something similar to that back in the 80's.

[DarkBuddha]

I feel ya, but that is just too much for me! If you haven't, you should check this out: http://www.jmooneyham.com/1969-ford-mustang-mach-one-essence-supercar.html . It's the kind of thing I always wanted to do.

yeah, i've read every story on that site, funny stuff. too bad that very little of it is true, though i'm sure there is alot of true stuff but most of it's not.

of course i would add some fender flares similar to what you'd see on a late 60's or early 70's TA mustang, blend the whole thing in instead of having the artificial body line created by the side skirts and redo the rear piece extensively. the front is pretty cool as is but still needs to be blended in. the rear "bumper" piece needs some reworking to better resemble a stock bumper at the ends under the 1/4 extensions and needs to be flat on teh 1/4 panels instead of wrapping all the way around to the wheelwells. basically, i would cut off everything above the factory rockers on the sides and above the bottom edge of the 1/4 in the rear. oh and get rid of the hood scoop and just use the factory mach 1/GT scoop, a shaker scoop or a cougar eliminator scoop and replace the rear wing with either the factory mach 1 wing or add the shelby style decklid with the taller ducktail spoiler.

[bnickel]

it also needs some bigger wheels, which i don't say very often, probably some 17" new style mesh wheels (or the older style like i have) and either some shelby side scoops or no scoops at all like a boss 302 or 70 model.

then paint it black!!!!!!!! with some flat charcoal gray GT stripes and flat charcoal hood "blackout". i'd also paint all the chrome trim black except for the hood trim and door handles.

[Burn]

I almost threw up in my mouth. :scared: It looks as though someone threw up in the engine compartment. :lol:

Talk about off the reservation, it looks like the inspiration was from a Navajo necklace or something, after way to much smokem of the peace pipe that is.

I'm guessing the engine bay was yellow prior to the 200 miles of engine heat.

i'm sure that this was probably done back in the 70's when even a 428cj mustang was just another old mustang that wasn't worth much. it also looks like it was built for the show circuit like IASCA or something.

70 Boss 302.:001_huh: Glad this guy didn't give me any advice on what color I should paint my car. I hope this picture is from the 70's and no one is riding around in this now. Check out the groovy fender flairs and can anyone make out what's painted on the scoop?

[bnickel]

it looks like a picture of saturn on the scoop. this is a perfect example of what was once known as a cafe racer style car back in the late 70's/early 80's. many people consider this style (but not necessarily with the wild paint) the predescessor of the modern Pro-Touring cars, myself included. other names for these cars were street machines or street freaks. this particular one was probably an ISCA show car. at one time i had actually wanted to build my car similar to this with the flares and a big old whale tail spoiler, glad i didn't. i was going to paint it black with gold GT stripes though and no wild-ass paint like this thing had

[Truck]

The flares and paint pale in comparison to the ugliness of that scoop. Scoop is 1st ugly, the flares 2nd, I think, in all, that the paint is relatively handsome compared to the bodywork.

"all window channels, and side windows where removed to make the car lighter.......heater core, heater box where all removed to save weight" To lazy to remove the windshield too I guess. :tongue_smilie:

"car has been heavily reinforced underneath to handle the horsepower....." Well thank god since the stopping distance will suck, good thing all the weight from the windows and heater was removed to balance that out.:shifty:

Geez, what an abomination. Someone obviously saw GISS and ran right out and ordered a bunch of fibergalss and then started to add it any way and every where possible. The grill does look kinda interesting that way though, I was always a little curious about what it might look like that way since the alternate 67' Shelby outboard design was obviously an inspiration to our 69's design. I think if somone created an actual 69' sty;e grill like that there would be a market for it.

[coz]

Ack.. Now I do like an orange 69/70 but ... ack.

I would like the gauge pod though. Doesn't someone make just the pod without the gauges??

Yeah YEARONE sells the 6 gauge pods. Saw one this past weekend decked out in AutoMeter Phantoms. Asked him if he saved any money going that route and not just buy the JMI cluster. He told me if he had to do it again he would have saved time and effort and bought the JMI cluster. He figured he saved $200 max but took many hours to get it to work.

[Truck]

Heh, heh ... my reaction to the first pic was "well, it's not that bad" ... but the more pictures I looked at, the worse it got! What's up with those side scoops???

Man, I got a laugh in early today...Those scoops have "non-OEM" all over them. Most of the time, you put in a fake scoop in a place a real scoop would be doing something. Obviously, for drag reasons, he had to find scoops and turn them backwards so the scoop didn't collect air. The raucous, wtf angle is the sauce...

And he did a marvelous job of turning the beautiful 69 grill into some weird 70 meets 68 jobber with those oversized 'fog-lamps'...

Thanks, i actually chuckled at this one.

[Pakrat]

Hunh, it says it sold for $4700 but is also relisted???????????????

hey roger. i put a new post up. for ten thousand. take a look at that. and also, i lowered the price because im seelling this car for a family member and they mis informed me. its a rare car. but not as rare as i previously said in the previous post. i thought i deleted it ill have too once i get done with this.

thanks for the interest.

I replied:
Matt,

Thanks, I found the new listing. To be honest, It looks like a base model 69 sportsroof with a 302-2V(non boss) V8 option and possibly exterior appearance group option(dual sport mirrors, bodyside moldings, etc). Nothing special really. Something in the VIN or the data plate codes may point to something special or rare (option combinations) but right now I think its way overpriced. I'm currently shopping for a 74-78 mustang II but I always check out the 69s as they're my favorite year and always looking for a good buy. Good luck

Can you unsee something?
Is this some ricer's idea of payback, trying to tarnish the mustang legacy?

Could be. Since he is targeting Eleahor specifically though I can live with it especially since you have to squint a little to see the influence. Things like the Miata Mustang kit bother me a little more I think since it is meant more to look exactly like a stang.

[unfrozen1969]

For those of you with a particular taste.

[Truck]

well, at least the touring car didn't injure a harmless mr2. Would have been too easy to go for a 40-i suppose. Someone needs to turn the scoop around on the 'stang. it's not fun and games-we've already lost eyes....

Hmm, and I thought the new Cadillacs looked like cartoon cars....:no:

hey pakrat, the front spoiler would be perfect for your vert ;-)

LOL, hey thanks. I just wish he hadn't defaced a Sportsroof like that, why couldn't it have been a real coupe like he claims.:whistling:

RacerX you need to post the pictures directly in the thread so we don't lose them when the auction ends like so many other ugly cars in the early pages.

It a shame that someone obviously did a lot of custom work but just has such bad taste, and then to cover all that work with such a cheap ass paint job, sheeesh.

REAL HEAD TURNER Yeah I totally believe that, except all the heads look like this!

The longer this thread goes on the more it confirms what I always thought. Mustangs are by far the most butchered cars ever. What I mean by that is you see more Mustangs, of all years, with goofy "custom" body mods, bad "custom" paint jobs, "custom" interiors etc, than any other vehicle that's ever been on the road.

hey Pak, that front end actualy does look very, very much like the smiley face Cars movie front end chop of your car in your sig bro....in fact it's down right scary how much it looks like it, if that car had a bumper on it it would be darn near identical to your sig pic.

Can't figure out if that's paint overspray on the hood hinges or just a poor paint job in general.

that's exactly why i wrote it. he even might have taken paks signature as inspiration :whistling:

[Angel]

without the rear valance and a nice set of wheels it might look ok.

[jonnybee]

The yellow thing is in Aus.
I hope you guys don't connect me with this type of work? :huh:
I couldn't do it to my Fastback!

[69RavenConv]

Yellow is cool. That fiberglass is not. :)

[1andonlywhitie]

Whats with the random piece of sheet metal that makes up the exhaust surround? God. Without the bodykit that could have been a sexy looking car...

Hey John are you gonna restore this one or make a track car out of it?

[Pakrat]

Here's mine. Got too close to the microwave.

So you get your kicks out of making grown men cry do ya?:scared:

[Opentracker]

I don't have a real plan for it. I was asked if I wanted to buy it by the PO. I got it for cheap and it's not even on the back burner yet. I thought to put a motor in it and drive it like it is. I have the hood, wheels, trans. etc. The only thing missing is the original motor. My big block tri power motor sitting on the stand would work.

It's a 70 GT500 R code 428 SCJ with the drag pack and 4.30 rear gear. Yep, it was in a small fire. Poor thing, it's only 18K on it. Been parked a long, long time. Bet it was fun to drive.

[SELLERSRODSHOP]

that looks like a dream to fix compared to the "fire job" i just finished. at least parts are available for the shelby.

[69GT]

Not a mustang, but I couldn't help but show you guys this.

http://static.funnyjunk.com/pictures/_tarded_car.jpg

[Opentracker]

Wow ... Now that's a fire job. Dang


My ultimate plan is to get a finished clone and swap the parts over to the Shelby. I'm sure it'll be cheaper that way in the long run and take a lot less time.

It was owned by a NASCAR team member back in the 70's. They would take it to the drag strip on weekends to play. It has some very interesting mods done to it. It's bee sitting for over 20 years. I'm glad it didn't get stripped, 20 years is a long time for a Shelby to sit unmolested.

DING DING DING, suddenly a new contender enters the ring! Just plain WOW! Someone fancied their hotwheels collection from the 70's. You can barely tell there is a Mustang under there. He must at least have something wicked under the hood with those rear tires.

I had to google the file name for that car to see if I could find more pics of it and sadly I couldn't but I did find the site it came from. OMG!!!!!! I can only guess that the owners of all these cars are the same folks featured in the people of walmart. Yikes!

[69RavenConv]

Ha! That brings back memories. In the little town I lived in 20 years ago there was a guy who put a Mustang II body on a 4-wheel chassis just like that. Looked just as dumb then as it does now....

[Fordrevhead]

Yeah, there was one similar to that around here too. I love those tail pipes sticking straight out the back like 2 feet, lol!

Man I have no idea:001_huh:. I missed that. Yeah, I would say a whip antenna. I was so upset over the bra, yeller fog lights, lop-sided shaker and the holes in the chin spoiler that I didn't check out much more on this fine ride just yet.

I'm headin over to the site that has that awesome 4X4 73 and hotwheels looking thing for now.

Putting holes in the front spoiler kinda negates the purpose of deflecting the air. All in all not a bad car really. The bad things are easily fixed, toss the bra in the garbage, looks like it comes with a couple of qtrs, remove the frt spoiler or fill the holes if its fglass. Toss the fog lights or at least remount them so they serve a functional purpose other than lighting the tree tops.

[Pakrat]

That ole girl has been passed around and abused boy & how. I can almost hear her writhing in agony. I sure hope who ever paid the $5555 puts a smile on her face again.
