Looks like you could use some SS centercap decals too. You have mail.

Re: new car pics Yes, you guys are right, the SS badges on the driver's side only are upside down. I was going to fix it, but I am afraid I will mess up the paint.
Thanks for the compliments,
Eric

Re: new car pics Looks good.
Also looks like your wheel took a pretty good hit on a curb, eh? <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Re: new car pics The "LS1" decals are from LG Motorsports and the "Camaro" caliper decals are from Afterthoughts Auto. Both sponsers on the right.->
That dent on the wheel came with the car, unfortunately. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Did you take your calipers off to paint them?

Re: new car pics blkjackss,
I took the calipers off but left the brake line attached and just set the caliper on top of a jack stand. I decided to paint the bracket and caliper the same color. I used a wire brush, brake cleaner and sand paper to clean them. I got the paint from pep boys(bright red caliper paint). And used high temp. clear coat. I did several coats of red and clear. It took a total of 8 hrs, but it was well worth it.

Re: new car pics Looks Great! Yah I'd flip the SS logo and remove those weights that are on the outside of the rim and put some stick-on's on and you'll be set!
Sharp car!
