Looks great, but the paint job makes the car look like its going REAL FAST in reverse.....I think you need to reverse the paint job (blue in the back)

Good luck with it

guys, the paint isn't coming off due to speed. Just think of it as torn away to reveal something underneath. If you saw it with the large LS1TECH logo across the hood in silver, and the small detail lettering that will be put in the riveted area, it would make more sense.

Or, I could just tell you that the car is fast enough to whip your ***....IN REVERSE!

lol Parker. True, but my day job and degree will always be around. Who knows how long the LS1 market will remain strong. Someday there might not be an LS1TECH.

Keep the same look but reverse the paint colors so it looks like the blue paint is being pulled away from the front of the car from extreme speeds!
We're doing something similar on a turbo Mustang. It's got a 100-some mm turbo hanging on the front so it looks like the paint is being pulled into the inlet, leaving metal behind.

I'm doing this on my car (black TA)...

Not quite as heavy as they've got em though. Comes out from the ram air nostrils, and from behind the lights and will wrap around under the mirrors. Basically, the front of the car will look like it's on fire (which may not be far from the truth )
