A few pics because I was bored. Don't mind the rain from last night. It always happens when I wash it. No rain for 3 weeks in Indiana and it starts when I wash the car lol. Pay no attention to the poor photography either. This was in my parking lot with the sun directly overhead, and I didn't give much effort.
Anywho, just wanted to show a few of the smaller things I've done to set off the exterior a bit. This is all stuff that may give you guys some ideas for small, cheap things to do.
The car is a drop, wheels/tires, tint, and a Porter Cable away from where I want the exterior to be. Too bad that's all of the expensive ****.
I'm kicking myself in the *** because I almost sold the car, but during that time I sold my ROH Firehawk wheels that had the gunmetal centers to Bull. Now I won't ever be able to find another set. Boooo.
Small things I've done...
-Nightshaded front corners, rear markers, and 3rd brake light. ($25ish)
-LS1 Formula badges ($40 or so at the dealership)
-Black vinyl "PONTIAC" letters and front bird ($20ish)
-CETA mod ($30ish) I love it on the Formula.
The last pic shows off the Zaino shine after about 10 washes. That's a DHL truck lol.
Let me know what you think and offer constructive criticism if you'd like.

I would, but I still think it would look corny with 16s. I'll just hold out until I can afford a new set. I kind of want to do chrome with the wheels. I think 18x9.5 and 10.5 chrome Z06s would really go well. I think they'd look amazing with all of the black on the car.
OH haha, nobody say anything about the tips being slightly crooked. They're coming off in 2 weeks when the TDs and LTs go on.

nice car and nice color, it is clean. I was wondering where you got the "night shade" covers ? Cause I have a black T/A and that would look sweet on my car.

I didn't notice the crooked tip till you said something. But I did notice they seem to stick out too much. I would tuck them under more.
Did you say the car is lowered? Doesn't seem like it.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
The Nightshades is a rattle can coating. Spray it and clear it. I went so dark with mine that you can't see much light unless it's dark out, but then it looks almost red.
As far as the tips, that's as far back as they go without cutting the tailpipes. I'll be selling the Hooker in 2 weeks when I put my TDs and Pacesetters on, so I don't want to do that.
And the parking sticker stays or I get towed. When they said it has to go on the rear bumper, I looked at the little asian guy and said..."you're kidding right?" Apparently mr. hungwangchung was not joking.
