Any feedback is greatly appreciated...
Good to see that by v.5 the sharp kink of the bottom of the rear quarter window was gone, but I think the bottom of the window needs to parallel the quarter panel shape. Curved to straight still looks a bit odd and distracting.

Is there any way to get more of an early 3rd gen spoiler and taillight look without the heavy-looking bumper shape of those years? Reminiscent only, not a direct copy (which would probably still look a bit dated).

Kind of looks like the trans am kit you can get for the camaro. Sigh... I miss the trans am. Driving past the last gen ws6 always breaks my neck.

Always loved the nostril Ram Air hoods.

A coworker has a mint, low-mile, red, t-top, manual '02 WS6 that he bought new and is considering selling. I've really been thinking hard about buying it.
