what looks the best to YOU?

-97-98 3kgt with the center support removed

-94-96 stealth r/t with center support removed--trim filled in

-94-96 3kgt with teeth & gills removed--trim filled in

-something else

i'm curious, because it seems to me that all three of these choices would result in a very similar look. thoughts?

I've been thinking about making the center/lower support on my 97 3000GT front bumper matte black. I think that would look pretty good. Especially with a car that has a rear diffuser painted the same color in back.

The yellow car looks best in my opinion

chrome inserts are not meant for these cars and gaping holes with nothing inside them looks unfinished.

That is awesome I think. I don't really like the others that much although some of them look alright.

tweakin the 2g front ends excentuates the smiley face wwwaaayyy too much. I saw toy around with the 97/98 front end, they look great once the car is dropped to the ground

+1 for Purdue3KGT's idea...That looks bad ass and it looks like the car was made that way
