I am looking for something agressive and intimidating

iI like it, do that. Are you having any cooling problems with that wings west kit like some people are saying because of how its blocking the radiator. One more thing, what kind of lowering springs are you using, nice ride. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Thanks guys!! No cooling problems what so ever. BUT I am paying the price with the lowered air deflector. That thing is no more th an 2" off the ground <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> I am using the SLP springs from the Y2Y option for the camaro. They where supposed to lower it only 1" but it is measured at 1.5" in the rear and 1.35" in the front. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Thanks again!!!

Yeah, the second one looks pretty badazz. My only suggestion is not have the 'flames' come back so far. I think it'd look better coming a little past the beginning of the doors (right after the side grills) Just my .02. Good luck though.

I suggest just keep it black like it is and get that hood. Reason being you might get tired of the two colors after a while. You might you might not. Anyways it looks awesome the way you have it now.
