Close the Photoshop and step away from the computer.

:)

Personally I think the Vega nose lends itself to a fairly aggressive but traditional chin spoiler.
Plus you'd be busting those lower lights on things like parking stops.

You aren't the first person who thought of this idea; this "phantom" sedan delivery Malibu sports an eerily similar front end treatment. The first time I saw this thing, I thought it was just slammed real low and parked in a big puddle!

I sketched up the same thing32 years ago when I had my first 72. Also sketched up my 72 Lemans the same way in the early 80's.

Just playing today. It was a gorgeous fall day and I was stuck inside all day with my 4 year old. Cleaning up puke and washing sheets!

At least I did get out to the morning car show for a couple of hours!

Honestly?

It makes me dizzy and a little bit sick.
'72 Vega with '93 Camaro LT1/M29 T56/12 bolt 3.31. 16" IROCs all around. Sanderson headers into duals with an H-pipe and Flowmasters. It's loud but at least it's faster than your grandma's Buick. pwned.
