<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mockingbird812</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My point Lynn, is that when you start throwing plastic wheel well extensions on this car, it stops <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">visually</span></span></span> being an integrated purpose built car, but sort of an after thought to stuffing bigger wheels/tires in the wells. If you consider the standard Corvette vs. Z06 - I think it would look strange if they just put fender extenders on the Z06 rather than a new integrated wider quarter panel. Of course it costs a lot more to put new quarter panels on but the integrated look is bold, functional, and terrific looking! </div></div>

Point well taken. Actually, I <span style="font-weight: bold">agree</span> it looks <span style="font-weight: bold">better</span> without the extensions. My wife's MRoadster certainly would look crappy if BMW just put extensions on the regular body rather than using the wider body.
They just aren't enough to run me off on the Camaro.
Hey, if it is a hit, maybe they will integrate it in a future model. They will need to do something to improve it to keep sales up. Personally, I think it will be a sales flop, which is what will make it collectable in 30 years.

Sam, I think we should fight over this until we can no longer be friends. I drew first blood by insulting your Plymouth.
