That's a maybe on the bumper support.

As far as the brakes. I dont know what I want to do with em'. I already painted them solid silver with VHT a little while back. But, the two tone **** looks pretty sweet.

Well, I am done for now.

I painted the plastic bumper support a semi gloss black(it was barbeque paint which I had left over).

Looks real nice actually.

I also did a little bit of cleaning under the engine. I know it is not perfect but I have to say it is one of the cleanest and dryest f-body motors I have seen.

I updated the 1st post with all the pics.


Any other free modification ideas?

Looks good. im in the same process of clean up the engine bay. A couple things you could do yet is polish the hood shocks then seal them with a sealer. also you could get rid of that sticker on the drivers side wheel well. I took mine off and stuck it to a piece of paper just in case i need it. I think it looks better gone.

You said stick. . . I am like what stick, there is no stick. After a while I figured out you meant sticker.

I like the sticker along with the fuse map. I just wish my fuse map was in good shape, it looks all water damaged in my car.
