I think it looks far from clean and rather gawdy myself!

Plus drive with that in the winter and post how that goes, especially if it's only available in fiberglass.

PS. The gaps under the headlights/hood are garbage.

Yeah, my car is definitely gawdy. Classic comeback to an opinion and a suggestion. BTW my centercaps rock bow-ties, I have no clue what you're talking about .

Buy the huge bodykit, and bitch about a cat hitting it. I was just offering a word of advice.

Paul Walker was once my hero too, back in year 2001, we're cool dawg .

stock would be best in my opinion.. personally i dont like any of the body kits for these cars. only lips i like are the koni challenge and time attack lips.

i remember there was a post on ls1tech that had like pics of everyones worst animal carniage and the stories.

take a look at the junkyard and see if you can find a bumper, it will be wayy cheaper than geting it from the dealer. And if you get that awesome body kit (sarcasm) then you have to get the matching windsheild decal.

Please dont buy that bodykit. Looks really gawdy and cheap and i would bet it fits like **** as almost all bodykits do. If you must get it dont get fiberglass trust me, Iv had fiberglass body kits and they are really bad. Hit a cat with a fiberglass bumper if you think yours is bad.

It had to be so cold the plastic was weak cause i hit a big ass raccoon and it just broke a few clips on the lip...

That guy's Pontiac rims look great, imo. They look clean and classy on that car.

That body kit looks like garbage.
