Do you think the car would have sold better if it was sold from GM looking like this?

How did they get the rear taillights to fit like that on the orange one and they don't fit with the craigslist car? Are they different tails?

No! I certainly would not have bought it. Though the original is easily the best example in terms of execution, it still looks like a car with an overdone body kit. Frankly, it borders on being cartoonish.

AFAIK there is a plastic cover you put over the tail lights and head lights to make them "fit" properly.

Is that a typo? Did he say body kit is $2800 or $28000? I know it is expensive, I thought it was between those two numbers.

Never before have stock 17's look so bad. I don't mind the paint job on this so much. It is not bad for two tone. I still prefer single color though. A/T would kill the deal for me on this vehicle.

The RA6 kit is pretty sick if done RIGHT.....unfortunately, this car is just a mess & would take a boatload of cash to fix....

I love what this kit does to the rear fenders, but I'm not a fan of widening the front. Especially from the side I think it looks cheesy. I'd love to do just the back of the car with the kit and go with maybe a monaro front bumper

The first one made was also outstanding. The black RA6 serial number 1.

Nope, I love the RA6 kit too but the paint and wheels on this one are bad! No problem with the auto tranny either because your could put som large DRs in the back.
