Lose the hood pins KEEP the body kit it complements the hood. Align the hood more, paint it if you want to the carbon looks dingy on thes shiny black. It is pic though so it could be completely different in person.

It looks good though, unique. Plus most of the guys on this site will tell you to remove every single piece until its stock.

Then you notice everyone completementing the guy with a ridiculous 4 inch unpainted fiberglass cowl hood....

The stickers are tastefully done and very nice but are still rice.

Stick a spacer on the rear wheel they stick in to far, it would give it a more aggressive stance.

What the hell am I nit picking you car for? Nevermind...

I hate this type of comment more than anything. At the time of purchase, many people don't have the cash to get the V8. There's a real good reason why people have to get a v6, cost is one of them. It's way easier to acquire the vehicle first, then dump some money in when you have extra. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Not really my style but I don't like the solid black wheels either. I'd break it up with some chrome or polished wheels.

looks good with exception of the body kit. but thats just me. I've never really cared for body kits on almost anything to tell you the truth. Most aftermarket ones just look to big and stuck on.

that's a claim I know you won't be able to back up at all so quit while you are ahead.

Look, glowing neon, monster tachs, stickers, and body kits are all rice. You could have a 9 second car with all that junk on it and it'd still be rice. If you are out to impress the import kiddies and their "tricked out" Honduhs you have got the right idea, but if you seriously care about having a clean, sleek car, do the following. The hood is seriously out of alignment, align it properly. Hood pins are a functional item, if you have a functioning latch, you don't need the hood pins, cause they don't look good on anything. As for carbon fiber, if that's real carbon fiber, paint it, align it and make use of the weight savings. If it's not, well, get rid of it too. Ground effects that serve as a sticker platform absolutely must go. Contrary to ricer logic, they do not improve aerodynamics. Neons inside the car also need to go. Turbo it, spray it, and pray it survives during the 11 second passes you hope to make, but remember that 11s is the ceiling unless you have a big bank roll.

being a 3.8 V6 owner myself, i know where you are coming from with the cost. insurance is much cheaper on a sixxer and you can still enjoy it. Personally i like the hood, justalign it right, ditch the hood pins, ditch the decals and the body kit should look pretty good. as far as interior goes, i think the monster tach is overkill, and if you can hit up sparco for a matching seat for the passenger side, i'd consider that. other than that good luck with the turbo project!

I like when guys have modded stuff like you have. However, every direction you seem to have gone, just isn't my idea of a good looking F-body. When it really comes down to it, all that matters is that you enjoy what you have done though.

No wait .



*sorry* wrong sign.


That's the important advice to take. I still like the bodykit on the LT1 Camaro's it flows well with the hood.

reading some of the posts here its pretty clear that 90% of this board doesnt know what "rice" means and throwing it around like you do makes you look like an uneducated idiot. that and most suffer from reading comprehension problems.

only things i dont like are the tach, the floor mats and the stickers you said you are removing. of course im one of like three people in this thread that understand that even with a latch, a carbon fiber hood still needs hood pins..

You don't have a stock ss hood and spoiler so people here won't like it.

I love how in the very first post you say you'll be removing the stickers and there's about 60 posts of people saying you should take them off. I honestly think more and more people simply can't read.

I like it simply because it's unique and it won't get lost in the parking lot like most of the cars here.

bitter much? Apparently you have failed to see how many people rave about the Sunoco & WS9 hoods.

Not bitter I'm just stating a fact. People here go on and on about how everyone should get an SS hood and spoiler but that's it. Whever anyone does anything that's unique at all people bash it and instantly call it rice.

No I haven't failed to see how people rave about the Sunoco hood(I have hood #1) and the WS9 hood(which is the same design as the stock hood really).
