    Car looks great...same color as mine...What color stripes did you get? I have Black side flags w/ silver shadows on mine...I don't have any great pics on my website yet, but I'm sure I could pull up a few...you've got a beautiful car, keep it that way!

    edit: BTW, did you paint the calipers the same color as the car, or did you use a different shade of red? I've been wanting to do that for a while now too.

      Wow, that is really hot! Awesome looking car dude, if I have to nitpick anything (and believe me I had to search for something to nitpick [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) I'd say that clear headlight covers might look better than black IMO. Each to their own tho, it rocks either way man. Nice work!

          I got 30th Aniv Ed. Stripes in Silver. Still haven't gotten them on.

          As for the Calipers. The paint is that "Anno" colored paint. They carry it at Auto Zone and Walmart. I saw it and the color looked close, so I jumped on it. I think it came out rather well.

                  Alright! Someone else that likes them! [img]smile.gif[/img]

                  I'm usually not much for the whole black out deal. But I really thought these smoothed out the front of the car, and really added a lot to the over all appearance.

                    Very smooth and clean car! I like the silver from the back and black from the front look. If you weren't putting silver stripes on I'd say go with black corners and maybe a carbon fiber camaro badge on the fascia. After thinking about it and looking at it I would actually hate to see those stripes go on, seams to me like it would go against the entire car. If you go with the stripes something else has to change. If you put the stripes on I'd be interested to see how it comes out.

                    How is your car so damned clean? I mean damn look at the freakin gas tank! Is she a garage queen?

                        Nope. Though, now that I bought a Beater, most of my miles go on that.

                        I just rolled the car past 62,000 this week. I bought it with 52,000 roughly a year ago. I did have to drive it though the winter :( But, there wasn't much snow and salt, so it wasn't too bad. This winter its sitting nice and safe in the garage though [img]smile.gif[/img]

                        As for the Stripes. I dunno, they are not on yet, partialy cuz I don't want to do it myself, and I can't find a place to have them done. Also, paritaly because I dunno if I want them on there or not. I'm Torn [img]redface.gif[/img]

                          Very clean car bro- love the color- dont see many of them around-

                          As for the stripes, i can see how your on the fence about putting them on. Part me says dont do it, the paint looks too good. The other part of me says go for it- it will only make your ride look even more badass-

                          Keep it up bro! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
