Default Critique my car...

Here are some pics of my car when it was all cleaned up last fall. These were taken before the car was lowered, white face gauges, and HUMount. You can see a list of all mods in my sig. Please leave some constructive criticism on what you would do with it. I want to put HP Evo's on it eventually, so I already know it needs rims haha... Thanks

The only part of that car that I hate, is the terrible front plate.

Keep it simple and clean!! Too many overdone f-bodies out there, IMO. Keeping it immaculate (inside/outside/engine) will always make it look better than 95% of vehicles on the road.

I think with dark tinted windows and the Evo wheels (along with your current mods), it will look very nice.

Post up some current pics with the springs, etc.
