pretty sweet car. To be honest I have never really been a big fan of black wheels but it looks tight and on that car and it really goes w/ the color scheme!
Congrats on a beautiful car!

P.S. who needs the AC anyways!

Car looks great! Only thing it needs is painted calipers. <img border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

I know those need to get done for sure. I think we are going with polished maybe painted and the Baer Eradispeed Rotors finally came off back order so those will be on the car soon too.

It is a custom fabricated cage made out of chrome-moly tubing. The cage is like the car one of a kind

I like the color but I am not a fan of the graphics, seems a little cluttered to me. Nice car though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Well, the color is nice at least...
Could do without the graphics, windshield sticker, black wheels, blackouts in the back, and the pee shooter looking pipes in the back. Still a nice car overall though. That color kinda balances it out.

SWEET!!

I don't really like the checkerboard stuff - but everything else is really cool!! I was considering getting some black FISK wheels for my car, but the cost was way out of my budget <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Love the look though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I like it but I think some black lug nuts would really set the wheels off, the chrome look a little out of place imho. I think this looks better, <img src="http://members.aol.com/txsvtlightning/ss/ssfront.jpg" alt="" />

Nice car,
mike

I like it!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I also agree about the black lugs.. the graphics, while not for everyone, are nice and at least sets you apart from the crowd <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Awesome car and very unique. I like the graphics and had considered doing something similar or maybe doing ghost flames however I'm afraid I might get tired of them after a while.

My only suggestion is getting rid of the red bird on the rear between the tail lights. I took mine off and I like the way it looks much better.

Wow, those black wheels are perfect for that color! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

But those graphics are fugly IMO.

Thanks for your comments everyone!
I have been looking for the original black lugs to try with the black fikse's since we put them on the car but they have been lost so if I get my hands on some I will put them on and see how they look.
The graphics are kind of wild but since it is the Horsepowerstore's shop car thats what they were going for something wild that grabs your attention.
And speaking of ghost flames I wish I had some better pics I need to get some in the sunlight because through out the checkered graphics are over a 100 ghosted flames.
About removing the bird on the back Chris2000Formula I was going to do this should I start by wet sanding and then buffing the red bird to try and get the rear piece all blacked out is this what you would recommened to remove the bird?

Nice car. What you now need are TRUE duals, racing seats (sparco, cobra, or corbeau) with black OR gray leather with electron blue leather or suede inserts, and door panels to match!! That would look absolutely badass!

The only way to get off the graphics and have it look perfect is to buy a center piece from a 97 or older Formula. I think it costs around $70 and I believe this is what Nine Ball did on his. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to switch out.

I used nail polish remover on a cotton ball and very carefully rubbed mine off and then washed the area thoroughly. There will still be a very slight indention where the bird and letters used to be. Most people would not even notice the endention and if they did they may think it should be there.

I really hate the color GM used on the centerpiece. They should have color matched it with the rest of the car or just left it blank.
