It would look 100x cleaner without the decals....and chrome wheels. Sorry, maybe I'm getting old, but vinyl decals just cheapen a car to me.

Ditch the firebird on the sail panel and do the !molding. Wheels look good.

Firehawk wheels look best in chrome. Props on doing something different.

I'd paint the centercaps black also but that's just me.

Nice ride either way!

maybe get rid of the stripes/ stickers and molding. throw hella gloss on those tires and take some more pics, bet it looks real good then. ive got black zr1s with a polished lip and if theres not a gallon of tire shine on each tire, it just doesnt look right....to me
