Now I know some of you might say "YUCK" to making body mods to a car of this type.
Here is a custom body mod I like that i've seen on other cars, tell me if you think this would look OK on the classic:
Breather Vents on the sides, seen them in very many forms/styles, have also seen them as stock on some vehicles like LeSabre, BMW (Z3, 325, 318)

I do like the "portholes" on the Park Avenue, but I think you should Photoshop it in, might help to visualize. I would go for the brake cooler style air vents....just a thought

what brake cooler vents, im not familiar with those?
Im thinking either the "cut-out" style, maning cut out of the metal like the BMW Z3, keeping the body color--no chrome, similar to those you see on some body kits
or a grille type vent with chrome grille like on some BMW 325's, or yes the "port holes" on the buick.
Anyone else think this would look OK?
If I can find the right tools to install, I might consider this customization.

I think most of us like the factory curves and styling of our Auroras. It's already got such sleek lines, it doesn't require a lot of "dressing up".

well I wouldnt be changing any body panels, simply a fender vent or maybe the port holes like the Park Ave, that would just simply enhance the look, make it more agressive....obviously nothing to exagerated, small, sleek, luxurious to go with the look the Aurora already has.

I can see chrome wheels , perhaps window tinting and debadging - but that's about it. Looks great the way it came from the factory.

Looks that way... the power sunroof was an option on our Classics. Check out the main Razzi Aurora link also... the kit looks great on that tan color with those SWEET deep-dish rims! The kit is $695 + $65 shipping, add in installation and paint and you will easily be in the $1000-1200 range. Roice could probably advise how much his kit cost, although I know he mentioned that he factored in the cost of the kit when he bought his Aurora.

Yeah 1bad, another vote for Razzi vs Ventis. Razzi gets it hands down. A very sleek mod for a puny price vs a maybe messup looking pimpin' add on. I like your thinkin', very creative, and there may be a way to make it look good, but until I see a photoshop prototype, stick with the Razzi. (P.S. You have to figure the price of some awesome dubs with the Razzi bodykit, the car needs it then)

Yeah, while I was drivin' on the interstate last night and got a glance at a Park Ave with the "vents" on the front fenders, I say go with the Razzi ground effects ... definitely.
