putting cabriolet body kit on a rabbit

[ryanruggles@uniserve.com (Ryan Ruggles)]

Hey man what's up with dissing the look of my car?  I like the single
headlights because there are not many of them up here. :)  But thanks for
the info.  I take it the answer is......from what you said in more words
.......yes.  I still might change the front end but maybe I'll just put a
headlight spoiler on it with a cab kit.  I think that with the 16"'s on it
with that combo would look pretty sweet and clean unlike some I've seen with
shit all over them like it was a ferrari or something.
