Not a fan of the stripes down the side or the white speaker covers, but everything else looks great. Super clean car. All it needs now is lowered

i actually prefer neons for under the dash so i got some slim ones from china on ebay. i ran a power wire from the battery to a set of two junction boxes (one for the exterior and one for the interior lights).

they look better in person too. personally, i dont care what you drive...lights are cool...even if just under the dash

the trick with the ram air is to maintain the open air ducts. i actually dont have any forward facing lights in the nostrils...

the speakers need to be done to match the door insert imo...to maintain the overall shape. as for lowering, id love to lower it but the roads/driveways around here suck. speaking fo clean, you should see underneath...looks new aside from my headers having a nice layer of rust lol

to each his own....i think for just about any mod, youll find people who love it and people who hate it. i suspect many people are completely against all the stuff i did lol...my brother (a camaro driver) is against it

It looks great all around i cant find anything i dont like about it. I used streetglow neons under the dash in my firebird and the flat leds in the nostrils i went with orange instead of red but they still almost looked red but gorgeous car man

Yeah itll deff be an interesting project to say the least. Probably wire the lights into the running lights like my halos are. But placement, what size, how many and the dilemma between neon or led will make it fun lol

So? Lol i was just saying. Just as you said you didnt like the stripes or sppeaker covers i said i dont like lowering. Just not my taste. Especially if you daily drive it. First driveway you go into that has a drop or big *** pothole yyou hit youre gonna scrub the **** out of the car. Only time i care for lowering is if its a strictly track car

It may look good if he didnt lower it too extreme. I can deal with a slightly lowered car but when its to the point where you can barely stick a sheet of paper between your tire and your fender well is when iits just plain ugly imo. But like he said shitty roads and a lowered ride with a nice paint job dont play well together like where i live lowered cars generally lowered cars look good from the top of the side skirts up the rest is scratched cracked and beat to ****. Have to love good ol ssouth carolina roads. If i lived somewhere with decent roads id lower my ride a lil bit just to give it a bit more of aan agressive stance
