Wow, I love the spoiler. I have a new thing to do for mine lol. I do think you should get black rims, and a berger panel, that would be awesome. Car looks very good though.

I like it but it the Z28 emblems look out of place with the SS spoiler and hood. Color scheme works nicely too.

Thanks for all the comments. Personally I think the berger panel would be too much with the spoiler. never really cared for the aftermarket grills exspecially the billet ones. Lastly I can understand the z28 badges with the spoiler/hood thing. I can't bring myself to change them. Its just not an SS.

I think if you paint just the center cap gloss black, it would add some contrast to the overall whole side of the car.

I just kinda get the ricer feel from painted wheels. Now if they are powdercoated correctly then thats a different story.

Thanks. I was going to use bondo but I was afraid the bumper would flex too much. So I used a two part epoxy. Not only did it fill most of the holes but it stiffend them up. the I just used a very little bit of bondo to fill the inperfections.
