[RCOLEMAN]

Thanks a lot Brady!

The front air dam is part of an old-school Kenne Bell setup. It was on the car when I got it. That part hasn't been made in years and is hard to find. But I did recently talk to a guy who expressed an interest in making a mold and producing them again. So we will see what happens.

If he comes thru put me on the list. Deffinetlly sinister looking

I think all these cars look terrific. That said, I believe that out of all the differing sizes, 15,16,17,18,19,20" wheels, it just seems like 18"ers just look "Right" on the body of a TR. Again, all these cars look magnificient!

What spoiler is that on back? Any better pictures of it?

What spoiler is that on back? Any better pictures of it?

It is a modified Monte Carlo SS spoiler. I filled in the ends to match the wider Buick decklid (the top profile was a match), trimmed off the lip that came down the back of the SS decklid, and sanded the back profile more round (to better match the Buick). A few more pics (none are close-up though) in my Album.
