Default Time for a change *pics*

After finishing my new motor, I thought it was time for a change on the exterior. The car draws enough attention with the motor, so I thought I’d tone down the exterior a bit. Some of you are familiar with my car, but for those that aren’t here is what it looked like before:




















I am gonna miss how the ground effects and spoiler blended together with everything, but it was time for a change.

Here are the pics I got, not the best, but I’ll take better ones once I clean her up

car looks great either way, but i liked the first look better

the body kit and spoiler seemed to flow very well with the ultra z hood

Much much better, I love your car and every time I saw it posted I always thought it would look 10x more badass if the kit was gone. Thank you for doing that....looks great!

so much for toning it down with that badge. LOL.

I don't know which I like more, old or new. Those tires, I like for sure.

Much cleaner! Looks more like straight business this way, i'm glad you did it. I liked your spoiler too, i would have left it on. Would look pretty good with an SS spoiler too. You had your 427 dyno'd yet? I might have missed it, but what did that beast throw down?

Thanks. The spoiler stayed on for a few days. It actually looked more like the Dick Harel cars (same spoiler), and with the widened wheels, there was a resemblence. But it was just too tall.

It put down 487/444. But it was 111 degrees in the shop, you know how that goes. I've made a few changes and I'm sure its over 500 now. I should have new dyno numbers soon.

Just my opinion, I liked it better with the gfx kit. But I'm also partial to cars that look hotter than the typical due to them, and that don't look like the same as every other F-Body on the road.

Looks awesome! But I wuld have kept the front and side gfx and put on a CME valance instead of the rear one, That would have been sweet as h***! That motor is pure SEX by the way!!
