Somehow I know what those taillights are from, but I can't quite figure it out...

I used to have a Grand Am and I am insulted by how that Civic looks. Egads!

I found this one at barryboys.co.uk. It may have shown up here before, not sure. OK I get it, this is a work in progress, or something, but look at the windshield. Gran Turismo!

Could be worse. Compared to the other things posted in this thread, this is tame. The taillights are from a 2003 Hyundai Excel.

Oh, there it is! Kinda funny the North American Excel got killed off in 1994 and got replaced by the Accent, but elsewhere in the world they kept the very ironic Excel name. 😂

I....don't complete hate that. Remove the stickers and give it some smaller and/or different wheels and I'd rock it.

You don't have to, but I should note that the stickers aren't necessarily a modification (well, the ones in the window technically are), as that was an edition actually offered by Chevrolet for the '90-3 model years and the decals are typical of that edition for the majority of its run.

The wheels and ride height are primarily what I consider to be questionable, particularly because I like these trucks. Lose four inches in wheel diameter while retaining tire diameter and bring wheel offset closer to neutral (less in the front and more in the rear), and I could maybe tolerate the ride height, but I'd prefer it a bit higher.

If it's real, it's missing badges and trim. I'm okay with that.

They came from the factory with the 454SS and Chevrolet stickers. One of my guilty pleasures, these trucks.


Tree'd. 😴

I mean...it's a D.A.R.E. exhibition car. The kids to whom it's presented are probably going to think the car's pretty cool and a good example can be had for around $30,000.
 
Not sure if it’s a finished “car” or a work in progress it does run and drive.

Well, I like the color, but it probably wouldn't suit the car in even the best of circumstances.
 
I really had to look at this picture because I was for sure this was some typical shop job.
