Default 98 T/A paint finished(lots of pics)

So I had a thread for this but it was getting rather long so I figured I would start a new. Before anyone asks the filler panel between the tail lights is getting some artwork done and then all three pieces will be smoked over so it isn't too obvious. Lemme know what you guys think.

















That's pretty much all of them. Lemme know what you guys think!

Thumbs up Wow

Great paint job! Looks really good! What springs did you use to lower the car? The stance is sweet. What size wheels and tires did you use?

I put QA1 12 way adjustables on all 4 corners with 275lb springs up front. Since the front are coilovers I can adjust the height up front, and then BMR 1" lowering springs out back. Prior to getting the car painted I thought it would be a good idea to roll the fenders because I heard that the paint is prone to cracking when it is done. Fronts are 17X9.5 with 275/40/17 tires and the rear is 17x11 with 315/35/17's. I put an adjustable panhard on the car because I thought it would be a good idea to try and keep the rear end as centered as possible to avoid the possibility of a tire contacting the quarters as much as possible. Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll post up some pics of how low the exhaust sits. 4" was a bad idea with a car that sits this low!

I think this is one of the cleanest (I'm guessing NBM) F Bodies I've ever seen, amazing overall, from the TTII's to the new paint, everything goes so well together, CETA mod looks good too, I don't know much about different brands of car covers, but I have heard things about car covers scratching fresh paint, just some friendly advice there

really? I hope it doesn't put scratches in the paint! If it does the car still needs to be polished and gone over by hand so if there are any it will be addressed then. Thanks for the advice though. Do you guys think I should do the bird on the front license plate cover in the same color as the ceta mod? I have been debating it for awhile now. As well as doing the wheels like this...
It isnt the exact same color but you get the idea. Lemme know what you guys think!
