You mean fake like this? Yup, courtesy of the e9x M3. And people complain about the exhaust diffuser setup on the F.

That may be true today, but not for the classic Buicks of the 50s and 60s. Buicks of that period (after the straight-8 and V8 models debuted), being an upmarket nameplate, did not use 6-cylinder engines until the famous 3.8L V6 debuted in the early 60's, and then it was only used on the compact Buick Special and Skylark, not the full-size Le Sabre. (The basic 3.8L, BTW, is still in use today, in a much-modified form).

The funny thing is that the people who do this think that people wont know the difference. I actually saw them on a dropped black 3GS in phoenix. The car looked hardcore because it was on the floor, but then the pidly little 10 mod makes his car look like he is a clown.imo
