Smaller? Longer front end plug giant wing makes the thing look bigger to me (just as the originals look like they are about an aircraft carrier long, give or take a foot).

Think he meant it makes the Challenger look smaller.

It looks like a character out of the movie "Cars" translated to real life...

No thanks!

I wonder if the Plymouth guys are eating this up like the Pontiac guys are drooling over the F5 conversions. Hmmmm.... if only some Mercury Cougar fanatic would take the current Mustang and do a Cougar Eliminator Then this whole thing would be complete

Hmmm, maybe. I thought he meant adding these mods makes this car look smaller than it originally looked.

While I don't think it is great, it would get tons of attention and probably positive attention on the street.

There was one at a local car show here in Omaha, it was soooooo ugly... even worse in person than in the pics!

Just get 91-92 Trans Am and throw that wing on it and the car will look damn near identical.
