Appearance mods finished! What do you guys think.

Cant wait till spring to get off some better shots. Not sure if I should keep the calipers red or not, any thoughts welcome.

The rear vinyls kinda throw off your theme so I say you ditch the red and pick up some silver

i saw lower it some in the rear, paint the calipers a subtle silver, blackout the rear tails, and swap the red fill-ins and rear decal for some silver ones. badass bird tho nonetheless.

Looks good, paint the calipers silver and ditch the red rear 'pontiac' inlay for a stainless one and you'll be set.

Thanks for all the replies/suggestions. I know its impossible to tell with the lighting in the pics, but the blackbird stirpes are charcoal metallic, not silver. If anything I may imitate Bastien's rear, its badass, (post 13) https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/649348-pic-request-315-s.html
I have 1" BMR springs in front (and love them), not gona lower the rear cause a higher stance in back is better for racing

I guess I am going to keep the red calipers.

Oh and good eye WhiteStripes, my tips do hang a little low. Its gona be a PITA rasing them being the TD's are already welded to the hangers.

I love it but I too would ditch the red calipers. The silver or gunmetal color would tie in with your theme.

^Im still not 100% sure, sometimes the red sticks out too much for me. But I dont even know if charcoal caliper paint exists.

Thanks CamaroZ28Aquino:
My plates - F-BODY2
Brothers SS - F-BODY1

It was one of my more brilliant ideas.
