Thanks guys!

Nolanr: I have the Pro Kit on there now...the front is up from the glass hood and the current 6 I got in there...should go down afterwards...I like the stance though...Don't want to go TOO low...

I know! lol, the RAII hood just doesn't flow w/ anything on the car...I think think RAI sits quite nicely...might do the 4th Gen Wing...still contemplating that one...

yeah i agree, the wing however could be a hit or miss. i think a formula or later style wing is definately in order but i'd have to see the 4thgen on it in person before i could say i like it or not. usually it looks too animated but being the car is black and you have the raI hood it might be ok.

looks good either way though.

Kandied: Yeah, it's a tough decision. I'm also looking for a new Hatch to get tinted (as to getting one w/o the defroster grid b/c I heard you can't take it off)...That'd be the time I'd switch the wing if I was going to.

MetalliCamaroRS: Thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to make it out this summer. I'm wanting to do a LT1 swap hopefully very soon...the rest is all done, just put the engine/trans in...some wiring, and good to go. However, if I DON'T start the project THIS winter, I'm definately going to be there!

i have someone here in michigan that has a pontiac ta hatch without defroster glass for sale. i could give you the contact maybe you can work out a deal with him. i've been searching for some time as well athough i heard there is a slight difference between the two decklids.

anyone know the truth of this?

The contact would be great. Hopefully, there isn't much of a difference between the lids. I can't see what would be different, however.
