Probably because all the plastic trim is missing.  It fell apart when i removed it.

At this point it had some new springs in the back and 1" spring spacer up front, but not like the ones I've seen here at the Nest.  If I get a chance I will take a picture and post.

There was very little rust under the vinyl, I sanded it the rust down and applied a rust inhibitor called Conquest just before going to the paint shop.

Roughly 2" it looks taller without the trim, if I ever find another Eagle around here I try for the trim.

She does look sleek.  I wonder if it is the color and the lines of the car along with being without flares.

It's the lack of a vinyl top and trim that makes it look so sleek. I like it better to be honest.
