car is not lowered. i went with green because i see red, blue and yellow calipers on everything and i like it regardless. i wont do a silver/polished lip on the wheels, maybe a green stripe but thats all im considering right now. thanks for the positive comments everyone.
Calm down dude, if your happy with it, that's all that matters. but no matter what you put in your thread you have to take the good with the bad.you just got to have thick skin on the internet. I would leave it as it is without the stripe, but that's up to you in the end. looks good tho.

looks good, are they flat or gloss black? Kinda hard to tell in pics. Would look sick if they were more glossy.

Car looks good, I love the murdered out look. I'm not a fan of the green but everyone has different taste. Do whatever makes you happy because its your car, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I like it. Personally, I think the green stripe would be a little much. Besides, it's trendy now, but in 6 months it'll probably be played out.

Only thing I'd do is get new centercaps. No reason to have Vette centercaps on a 'Bird. Doesn't look right IMO.

i like the murdered out look. i say the wheels look bad to the bone, but i'd paint the calipers black and leave the wheels as is.

I like it, but there is something I would change, I just can't put my finger on what. I think you are on a great start with the green but need a little more, a green line on the wheels might be a little much though. Maybe green on the Pontiac logo on the hood, I don't know, I really like them rims blacked out though. Good look so far the next step will make it or break it for you.
