Default Been a while, a few changes.

Dont remember what/if any pictures have been put up since i have done some little appearance mods to my car.
Whistlered Headlights.
Clear Corners
Flat Black hoodscoop fill in
Black billet grille with SS emblem

Also put on a black berger panel but cant see it in the pic.

What do you guys think would look good next? trying to stay with the black and blue. thinking about plastidipping the wheels black soon

The car sits on stock suspension right now. but it is sitting on the polished ten spokes, thinking about going plastidip black with them to flow better with the scheme, the back has a black berger panel with a CME set up.
I think wheels and suspension will really set this car off but i wanna get some opinions

What about plasti dipping the inside of the slots, and leaving the outward part of the spokes polished?

I think that might look pretty cool actually, leave the lip polished or not?

Yeah i think those will look pretty sweet! ive been drooling over lowered f bodys and i think im gonna drop mine a little bit to give it a better stance, i definitely need tint but i think im gonna keep my gloss black berger because of how it flows with the gloss black sail panel. I think after i get all that stuff done i will have a pretty decent looking car
