I like the body kit. Its alittle different how it squares off the end of the back bumper... but it looks pretty good overall.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

What's this word rust I keep seeing you northern guys mention???

BTW the ground effects, look good... Had a '87 TC about a dozen years ago that I believe had the same ones...
