Personally I think the SOM painted manta fading into black with "LS1 350" im chrome on each side would look sweet! Also if I could be so bold as to make the suggestion to just paint it SOM all the way around...You can't black or SOM, they're gorgeous!!

The engine is closer to a 346/7 if you wannna get detailed about it. But I am sure it will look sick.

yea it would, i picture it being all painted on the main parts just as i would looks regular, then extending out some, not much, beut enough to show the fade, then either LS1 350 or 346 in chrome vinyl. Any ideas for an ss spoiler guys? i want to keep in simple not gaudy, nice hocky stripes that fade with a chrome "ss" by the front in chome, then maybe pinstiped with chrome down the fading hockey stripe. i am clueless on what to do to the back. ANY IDEAS WELCOME!
