Default Finally got a few more pics of my car

I recently got my car painted, with ghost flames on the front end. Some of the pictures aren't the best quality, I've been very busy, and haven't had time to really take the car out for some good pictures.
This is a pic I took before I got the car painted, so you can see a couple of the dings it had. All those are gone now:

This one is at the car wash last week. If you look closely, you can see a little of the ghost flame on the front fender:

And the quality really sucks on this one, but it was night, so getting these flames to show up was really hard:

A little more of the ghost flames:

Lol, you guys don't know the half of it. Those headlights aren't just fogged, they're cracked too. I was going to get black halo's... and ended up getting screwed, by that magicman327 guy. So I was just out the money, gotta start over again.

Car looks great, I do think you should first off get some headlights. Then get some clear corners. You need to paint your calipers and a set of drilled rotors too!! Maybe even some Z06 style Z28 badges, you need something to break it up alittle. Lookin great so far though!!!

I will eventually get all that stuff. I've always been a little more into performance than looks, so my t-rex cam will probably come before everything except the headlights. I just spent all my extra money getting the parts to fix my A4 tranny too. Plus I'm in the process of getting a house, so I've got most of my money tied up in other places.

If you like to drive that car alot on the street then I would go with a different cam. I had one, I'm putting one in a buddy of mines TA right now. Its sounds great, but its to much for the street unless you spend way more then just a cam package. Trust me on this one. If you still wanna do it, call thunder and get them to recommend everything needed. You actually need valve reliefs in the pistons, they don't tell ya that on the website. My opinion get a nice set of used ported heads and a decent high 500 lift cam. It will go plenty fast and sound just fine!!

I've got 3 friends who all have the t-rex with no issues. I've already got a decent sized cam, but it definitely doesn't put out the power that the t-rex puts out. I'm really trying to stay cam only for now.

I love your hood. I've been asking for pics of that hood for a while but hardly anyone seems to have it on an ls1 camaro. Could you get a couple of pics from the side view and some from inside the car looking out towards the cowl? I would appreciate it.

Yea, I was about to say, ghost flames look real good, but the dude couldn't buff out those swirls while he was at it?? I know he'd have to move the buffer another 1/32" which can be very exhausting but come on
