That hood was always ugly, but there was a time when that body kit, along with some others, were considered acceptable and good looking. I'm just glad the dark days of body kits are starting to end.

IMHO The only body kit that that was ever acceptable on a Tib was the Veilside. I was never a body kit person, but that is such a gorgeous look!

This car needs to be liberated from the f&f, turn of the century, fanboy and given to someone that will appreciate it.

80% of the forum begs to differ with your opinion, even if it were free.

According to Huffpo you're wrong

Acceptable, end of debate. And anyone who argues otherwise is a ricist

Not a bodykit fan anymore (those days are long over) but I do like a nice lip and low profile sideskirts. Carbon fiber preferably.

If they got rid of the hood, the tails, the wing, and put on some nice wheels that car would look pretty good. But it has too much going on that makes it look like a mentally challenged mexican transformer.

Guys don't forget that's somebody's car they liked enough to put the money into it to make it look that way. However questionable the judgement was.
