Thank you everyone for the comments. Im really starting to put a lot of work into the car. Yea sorry the pictures are so massive!

I wont sell the hood for 100 but for 175 we will talk LOL jk jk I love my Superhawk hood!

If you want the hood man look on Ebay they started selling them there on it. Its US Exotics hood man.

The rims are 18x9.5 I have the tire on there for 245/40z18

I have no rubbing problems at all or turning problems. The car drives like a dream with these tires. Really good grip and really good handling.

looks way better but the tires look a little too small (width) for the wheels.

Yes the tires are small. I didnt know they put 8 1/2 tires on it but they fit. Later on I will get the right sized tires on it.

I do plan on painting the hood. I just dont want to do it without doing the whole car. So Im going to strip the car down later on and get the WHOLE thing painted with black accents all around it. Its going to be a High metallic Pewter with the grill screens coating in a gel black for weather protection. Trans am will be black. And on the back Pontiac will be filled in black along with bumper area with dull looking black.

What do you all think about lowering the car? I have been debating.
