looks great!

One of the cleanest looks out there...Only one I like better is tha AC, unfortunately, it is 100% fiberglass, and it will crack upon sufficient impact.Ryan

yeah i agree. I was thinking about the AC kit since I love the clean OEM look. I might opt for a 97+ upgrade plus a front lip.

The AC kit is by far the best looking, and the 97-00 kit in second place. However like ryan said - 3 or 4 grand for a kit that will crack V/S a grand or two for one that is hard as a rock and is in second place is an easy decision. Really it is not too much different since the AC kit was modeled to be little more than a nice 97 bodystyle.

Well I am back on the hunt for a '97 wing. Mine was destroyed in shipping. 
Tails, a grill, and fogs would be nice too. I had the grill and sold it to someone on here early this year. DOH!

O.L.T. IM A FEW STEPS BEHIND YOU. ALL I NEED TO COMPLETE MY CONVERSION IS THE REAR BUMPER AND QUARTER PANEL MOLDINGS.. BUT I DONT THINK IM GOING TO GET THE 97+SPOILER
IM THINKING OF JUST PUTTING ON A REAR BUMPER LIP FROM ONE OF THOSE BODY KITS.

O.L.T. , Agreed!!!
