Just a heads up, your engine isn't a 350 its a 347...it isn't a corvette (logo on the top)...and i would personally flip your tips around so they match the flow of the bumper.
Besides that nice!

honestly u have good ideas, just cluttered
the rear is over the top. if ur goin for a retro theme, use only the z28 emblem. the "camaro" and bowtie look out of place and goofy
the flag emblem is a cool touch, but too much. id remove those
and then the infamous 350 emblem. thats absurd.
other then that ur car looks good.

Other than that I think that your car looks good but is teetering very close to going overboard. To each his own...as long as you are happy don't worry what other people say. I get a lot of **** for doing the conversion on mt lt1 to a ls1 front end but I don't give a **** because I am the only one that has to drive my car.
+1 For being creative and having some of your own ideas.

Clashes with your NBM paint.
Do like the Beger panel however, very nice job on that.

I agree with Bryan on this one....Its a great looking car, but there are some things that bug me.
Everything looks acceptable but the 350 emblems and the sail panel flags. You do have alot of badging and accent colors though. The wheels are gray some badges are white, stripes are gloss black, rear panel is flat black. Its usually best to pick a theme and sort of stick to it. Maybe do flat black hockey stripes with only silver badging to match the wheels... or chrome/polished with chrome polished wheels i dunno...
But the 350 really hurts me too man... it really does. If I saw that on the street, Id be like, "WTF dude doesn't even know what size his engine is...mmmm k"
But, it is an easy mistake to make and even easier to fix.
*EDIT: after further review, the 350 wasn't a mistake at all. See what happens when you assume? I still hate it.
