No offense dude...But it looks like the tail end of an Avanti!
Kind of squared off...
Not my style...kind of an old school basic guy i suppose.
But if it works for you...that is all that matters!

Unless it was slammed with some 18's+. Something looks... off.

i'm thinking of the sport hatch with a raised spoiler from a 91 z28 instead of the 3piece fin

Stretch Fiero! Ewwwww

the added benefit is that it only weighs aprox. 40lbs., rain doesn't rest on the back, neggitive side is that yes it looks like a stretch fiero, major blind spots.

A knockoff of the notchback Chebbie put on some of the Firebirds in the late 80's. Ugliest thing there ever was. Actually worse than rear window louvers if you can believe it. Laughing

Oh god no, please don't. Smashy Smashy

Those notchbacks are beyond hideous.

Funny. I just was reading a thread on TGO where Tony mentioned that they only made 651 of those from the factory. Not exactly my cup of tea especially since I believe you should avoid cross swapping parts between birds and camaros.

Well you have a lot of opinions here but it is your car. If you think it is cool then go for it! Would be unique that is for sure.

i think it would look cool when coupled with the right custom body kit and raised spoiler. But putting it on a stock looking body is kinda wrong. I'm trying to use my minds eye for this one

maybe matched with this body kit.
.......without the louvers..........

Well it fits that body style better, but still not really working. That said, it is your car do what you like to it. My personal impression is that it looks like a fake and toyish looking car. its loaded with vents and louvers and such that don't really do anything. reminds me of the S10 I see around here with the dual vertical 2" exhaust pipes sticking 8' in the air for no reason at all. I just look at it and wonder why.

I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. Keep in mind you will not be able to put a human in the back seat. If your into GM two seaters buy a mid 80's corvette. Same powertrane, but lighter weight and dirt cheap.

ya..... good point. I think I'll keep the maro the way it is. Just build the motor as wild as possible and then worry about it's looks. Very Happy

A good stance and a decent set of wheels will go a long ways in the looks department.... if you can manage to keep them on your car.

Just get a tunnel ram and a scoop. That will get the attention you want. Well, maybe not the good kind... Rolling Eyes
