since I'm always all about doing things cheap, I intend to build a basic aluminum front lip/spoiler that looks very similar to the one on my '69 mustang. I'll attach it to the back with hinges and use turnbuckles up front to to hold/adjust it as needed.

Personally, I would put a pit bull on the front! That would be mean, and go really fast!

I love the photo with the trophies and what looks like another fish tank in the trunk where the cd changer goes. So are the fish tanks in the headrests movable, or did he do away with them when he reupholstered his interior in that beautiful red?

I love how in the photo description of that horrid looking job of the dashboard, he says "adding life to the dash".

ppastos Elliot's your man. Talk about making them look mean.......

Well i meant mean not hideous I want to keep it looking factory. so eyelids, factory spoiler, BBS wheels (the factory Q45T/A, Fog lights with just the front body kit, would all look good on the Q45.

As fugly as this Q is the hood scoops make good sense since they bring cool air into the engine compartment to keep the under-plenum hoses from getting brittle. Too bad the Q design engineers couldn't have built in a little better air circulation to the engine compartment, which they corrected with the 94Q.

I see this 1990 advertised for $4000.00. Should I buy it? Wonder if all the mods improved it or made it worse?http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...st=25

They're still selling that POS?

I like the exterior color. A very nice paintjob. But the body kit is horrific. And the interior? Bring on the gagging spoon.

Those Recaro Racing seats look like crap.

Who the hell came up with that color scheme? Helen Keller?

Meh. I like to consider my Q a Japanese muscle car/Asian Mercedes.

Badass, but also a PITA.

I used to hate FY33/Cimas with a passion. The VIP styling on the FY33 has brought me around. I still wouldn't trade my G50 for one though.

Maybe I'll pick one up in the future to compare.
