The Ruiner's body is based on the third generation (1982-1992) [[wp:GM F platform|GM F-Body]] (seen in the period's [[wp:Third-generation Pontiac Firebird|Pontiac Firebird]], and [[wp:Third-generation Chevrolet Camaro|Chevrolet Camaro]]). It has a [[wp:T-top|T-top roof]], with either glass or solid panels installed. The semi-concealed pop-up headlights are reminiscent of the 1984-1986 [[wp:Nissan 300ZX#Z31|Nissan 300ZX (Z31 Series)]], and the sloping of the nose resembles that of the Camaro. The taillights and trunk spoiler are shaped like those of the Camaro, but the area between and below the taillights better resembles the Firebird, with "IMPONTE" and "Ruiner 450GT" positioned where the Firebird logo would be. The ground effects on the front end are reminiscent of 1985-1990 Pontiac Trans Ams. The wheels resemble those of the [[wp:Mitsubishi Starion|Mitsubishi Starion]], and the added pillars on the rear window may also come from the Starion. | The Ruiner's body is based on the third generation (1982-1992) [[wp:GM F platform|GM F-Body]] (seen in the period's [[wp:Third-generation Pontiac Firebird|Pontiac Firebird]], and [[wp:Third-generation Chevrolet Camaro|Chevrolet Camaro]]).

All Ruiners feature a "Ruiner" decal along the lower part of the doors (harder to see on single-colored Ruiners), similar to the Camaro IROC-Z; the decals also share colors with the ground effects (the differently colored ground effects are similar to third generation Z28 Camaros and 1985-1990 Trans Ams). They feature license plate frames that say "Ruining Imports Since '67", the year the GM F-body coupes debuted (and also possibly referencing the [[Vigero]], which is based mainly on the first generation Camaro). | All Ruiners feature a "Ruiner" decal along the lower part of the doors (harder to see on single-colored Ruiners), similar to the Camaro IROC-Z, it also features stripes like a 1984 Trans Am; the decals also share colors with the ground effects (the differently colored ground effects are similar to third generation Z28 Camaros and 1985-1990 Trans Ams).

The car is similar in appearance to the [[Buffalo]] from GTA San Andreas (itself based on the Camaro), however in GTA IV continuity, the Buffalo appears to be based on the Dodge Charger, not the Camaro. | The car is similar in appearance to the [[Buffalo]] from GTA San Andreas (itself based on the Camaro), however in GTA IV continuity, the Buffalo appears to be based on the Dodge Charger, not the Camaro. | ||
