**** haha it's cleaner than mine! But IMO I think the stock body looks amazing on these cars, but I really like your side skirts. How's the interior?

Lol, the stock body was messed up. But the interior has a few rips in the seats, and the heat/ac piece (forgot name) is busted up pretty bad, and the hatch has a leak that im working on now and has rusted the back a little, but that is an easy fix. ill TRY to clean up the interior tomorrow and get some pics up. Also you can see how bad the paint job was, they got red on the mirrors, and lights and everyhting, they also painted all the weather stripping red

no disrespect.
my first thought to the body kit.
Need for Speed.
its just so cartoony and ridiculously over the top to me.
however, it is very clean looking and well done.

with that said.
i still say scrap it and restore parts from a junkyard. youll spend the same amount of money.

Worst thing your could have done was mold those side skirts on there, and the rear bumper to the car...

Its just the exhaust, the old exhaust was rusted off in the middle, so i just paid some1 to get an exhaust and put it on, and that is what they put on.

Well it isnt my fault, i cant find any other rex for sale to get the stock parts in need to make it all stock, and the previous owner trashed the body, so that was my only choice

Ya that kit is horrible, so ugly. I'd find another one. I had a 88 Si once, it was a great, fun, reliable car, but it had not been riced out.

Cool. If youre going for performance on a budget, you can get a stainless steel catback exhaust on ebay for $130 shipped.
