Pics of the SS

Okay, I have been commenting on here about everyone else's rides so I guess it put up or shut up time with my SS. I just finished the paint work on it a few weeks ago and it had just gotten it's final detail. Comments are welcome!

Very sweet car. I like the rims they are different. Only things I would change is the tail lights. Other than that I like it because it's different and not like everything else. But I think it was tastefully done too

looks really good, but too many SS's under the hood. I do love the black trim under the bottom portion of the hood though. AND get rid of those RICEY tailights... nice car man

The taillights I was on the fence about. The OEM's lenses were warped from putting on those crappy GTS covers and I needed something else. I think I'm going to use the Nightshades on them. Thanks for the feedback!

Everything but the tail lights look good IMO, everything was done quite well. The only thing are the tail lights. If I were you, I would go buy a nice set of Export Tail Lights. It would compliment the whole trend of the car

No one likes the taillights??? LOL Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them, but I'm going to try the Nightshades on them before I decide to toss them.

Thanks, everyone! I thought about doing the black panel, but I ended up painting in the CAMARO instead.

I painted them. I used Sikkens mixing black as a coverage coat, then went with Sikkens Deep Black (2 coats). I put about three coats of clear on them. A bit different, but I wouldn't recommend doing this on a daily driver. Powdercoat will hold up much better. I did paint because you can get a better shine to them. Thanks for the comment!
