Man! I love the color! I think its called New Bright Red. It does look kind of orangish when the sunlight hits it. I am on the Southwest border of Texas.

Nice looking car, but the hood pins don't look right on a 4th gen.

I am stuck with the hood pins...... long story.... the rest is removable! lol But I like it how it sits, its different. By the way, I would like your car more also if you would remove corvette scoop off, paint calipers black or red, etc, etc..... see my point? You made those changes because you like them like that not because "us members" would approve them based off certain standards.

Thanks for the input! Wheels are 17x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear. I love the pontiac arrows on the fenders!

I have to agree with what everybody is saying about the door handles and reflectors and wacky emblems all over... Needs some touch-up paint in areas too. For a DD it's still more fun than a Toyota Paseo. Get those missing lugnuts replaced ASAP! I DD my car and always find time to fix things that are broken, especially important things.

No offense to the OP, but that car just looks too "pieced" together. But none of the pieces seem to match. To each their own, and if you love it, drive it like you stole it, but just don't expect to get alot of "approval" from online users.

I like it but not a fan of vette wheels or the reflectors. The CETA mod would be a good call too and some corsa clones.

overall i'm liking the car. but im gonna have to agree with others- lose the pontiac and gm badges, along with the rear reflectors. and i think you should switch the side markers back to red on the rear, and for the front markers, get some red ones from a camaro, they are the same size.

Like somebody up top said already, its the SLP H.O. hood, kind of rare... not many like it, I do like it since you don't see it that often as the other ram air hoods like ws6, ws9, firehawk, superhawk, etc.

Looks good!

I'm also from the "less is more" school of thought when it comes to emblems, but I like that you did something a little different.

Where did you get the arrowhead on the front bumper? I do like that one, and was actually just thinking about putting one on mine. Thanks.

Its a GM emblem, it came on the Pontiac Soltice rear deck.
