Default New wheels, and Body work..(shaved locks, ect.)

had the passenger lock shaved, cause some punk decided to try and break into it.. and instead of replacing the door, i eliminated the problem =]

wheels are OEM zo6 wheels with a custom paint..

let me know what you think! Pics are "HDR" iphone 4 cam.

^ Yeah.. aka "Chicklette."

I like the idea from an originality standpoint, but it seems out of place there. Maybe one on the right side on the berger panel.

I put one of those GM emblems on my car as well filled the letters in black to make them more noticeable. Mine are behind the doors near the back tire in the lower corner of the rear quarter.

^ YEah, I think back there would be a little better.. Not sure though. I'd have to get some tape and sit with it and my car for a while to see where it looked the most natural.

Something is just off about having that on our cars though.. not sure what it is... Maybe because it never came with it, so we're not used to seeing it.

-=EDIT=-
Wait a minute.. Those SS Badges are different too.. Off a TBSS/Cobalt?? THAT is fukin cool! I like the pass shaved lock BTW.. I would do that with the quickness.

yea they are TBSS badges, and blend into the paint besides chrome trim and pearl lol

i got the bigger one too, for the factory "ss" rear emblem, and eliminated the bowtie.

ps: my buddy had the chicklettes in the spot hes talking about on his ws6, and i didnt like them there.

^ that's what caught me was they were bigger and seemed "stretched." The paint match is very nice! I wish I had some options on a Z28 logo. Not much I've seen sells me. Pretty picky.

No one will notice unless they are familiar with fbodys, because most newer cars don't have a lock on the passenger side anyways.
