Its got too much going on imo. I love the curves of a Tib but this just takes it to the next level and that level not being any good. There is such a thing as too many curves. Less is more and this one went completely over board.

If you asked me 15yrs. ago maybe it would be the sh@t! But now it looks like sh@t...Fast & Furious days aren't as popular as it once was. Overseas maybe its still acceptable. I really dont know.

"if higher.. "..Air ride dude!?....If there was a fat intercooler where the neon red lights are, it would be badass!, I wish I had air so I could slam sh*t down at anytime...maybe its just me, but I like to mod stuff, so it doesnt look stock, with most RD's sadly,its the FF look ,or stock.... maybe a home depot lip, I find a stock tib looks "girly", I'd rather the "too busy" look. lol

I honestly don't know why veilside kits are a thing. Every single car I've seen with a veilside kit looks absolutely appalling. I'd be embarrassed driving a veilside kitted car to the crusher.









This tib looks like an pudgy frog in a hurricane.

Its not bad. I think we all have seen much worst. I personally am not a fan of the hood or the huge sideskirts. Everything else is ok.

Scoops on a tib look bad regardless if they are on the hood or roof

I think a hood scoop looks good only on an RD1 so long as it's nice and clean along with the rest of the car.







Roof scoop looks great but only on rally or replica rally cars but it's gotta be functional.
