Keep the stripes, except get solid ones, I don't care for the 35th stripes on your car

Very nice ride!
I like the stripes, maybe a satin finish to them this time to match the berger panel?

CME is a must have. Other than that the car looks great......maybe lose the camaro inserts in the rear.

Lose the stripes, manta, maybe lose the camaro inserts on the back and paint it SOM, CME definitely, and smoke the tail lights....i kinda think maybe a billet grille up front might look good or just paint it body color

Ditch the stripes

Keep the Berger

Def. get the CME

Keep the grille but paint it body color except for the two inner pieces that the center bar splits, paint that black like it is.

VHT night shades the tail lights and corner markers

On second thought....To hell with the whole thing and ship it to me.

I think the car looks really good as is IMO. If I were to change anything it would be:

-CME
-Get smoked clear corners http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...Q5fAccessories
-Whistler Headlights
-Tint Rear side markers

I like the stripes but dont like how they end in the front. I have em on mine but they go almost all the way down....




As far as your color....I would keep it the same !!! SOM is sick! And keep the stripes and the Berger!

The only other colors I would consider is either the Corvette "electron blue" or "Le Mans blue" Or that Darker Grey thats on the new Zr1's.

Hey guys...Peeler is sand bagging......his car looks three times better in person. These pictures are good...but these pics don't do it justice.
Need some pics in the late afternoon so you can see how shiny it is.
Oh wait.......I guess you'll have to wait until you get the Bambi mods fixed..lol
