Default My '99 Z28

I just thought I'd throw up some pictures of my LS1. I'm currently building a true dual side exhaust with chambered mufflers so I'll get pictures and video clips up as soon as it's done.

I almost had that done but I'm afraid of there being to much black strips up front.

I was thinking something like "5.7 Liter" in black. How do you think that would look?
I already have the HP #'s on the hockey sticks so I can't do that on the hood.

Looks killer man, the only thing I think would look better is if that blue chevy emblem was red to match the car.

It's the VFN Sunoco hood with the line in the middle. Actually it's hood #1 with the line as I did the original test fit. As for the paint I have a guy that does all the jobs on the side so my price wouldn't show what it really would cost. I think it's normally like $400 to $500 but don't quote me on that.

It needs something on the side of the cowl. I like the Red/black theme.

It's coming off once it warms up here in WI. I have so many plans I think I need to take a week off work just to be able to finish them.
