Default Pictures from this weekend... Appearance finished?

...some friends and I got together on top of a parking garage (that we had all to ourselves thanks to Mike sneaking us in ).

I FINALLY broke down and bought new headlights and it was time to show them off

Here we go:

Oh, I forgot, the reason I put "Appearance finished?" in the title is I thought I was done but friends keep saying I need to powder coat my rims black (like Mike's, the red SS, are).

I think it might be too much... What do you guys think?

Your car is stunning! I like everything you have done to it. But, I can't stand that clear section near the bottom of the headlight lense where the lense meets the housing....looks wierd with the whistler mod....if you know what I am talking about...

And I would say "NO" on powdercoating the rims, I think that would be a bit much...

Yeah, I f@cked up. I painted part of the lens but not enough. I painted before the texture and should have painted including the texture

Its all good man. Most people don't notice it, but then you have nit-pickers like myself that point out stupid details like that. I actually did the same thing when doing the whistler to my headlights. I noticed that section and took them apart after they had already been glued back together. It sucked, but in the end it was worth it to me....

Car looks great! My favorite out of all the cars pictured! Keep up the good work!

^^Not worth it to me This was the biggest PITA set of headlights because they were BRAND NEW GM (before people ask, ebay... no link just do a search) therefore when they came apart in the oven the silicon was so new it was like friggin mozzarella cheese getting stringy all over the place...

Great looking group of cars there.
I'm still undecided weather I like the look of the front splitter, but overall, your car is one of my favorites.

Nice pics. Only thing I see missing is the tire shine. I think if you powder coat your rims leave the lip polished. An all black wheel tends to blend into the tire. Its probably cheaper to find some black Z06's.

I can have them powder coated for around $200... Also, these are WAY lighter than the after market ones
