My personal opinion, I kinda like the hood. Gives it some character! lol
And the other thing I would do is something with the exhaust tips. I like the dump offs under the rear bumper also, not like pictured. Just an idea. (But, to each his own.)
Nice car and keep us updated please!
done- putting magnaflows on and fixing the exhaust tips!

FWIW i think that the window trim looks out of place. Maybe paint that black since the windows are tinted. But other than the things already said thats about all i would change.

What size Rushforths & tire combo are you going to run? I think 19's and 20's look killer on 2nd Gen's, especially 20x12 rears like on the pics below.

Congrats on the new arrival, Chris!! Do you need some headers?

Are there plans to repaint the car? I only ask because you have mentioned the hood and spoiler swap.

Job #1 is that it has to be drivable in July!!

How about 200r4 trans. a bolt in overdrive and 17" or 18" minilite style wheels that will give you a 70's trans am flavor.
