Well finally got around to getting some daytime pics, the front wheels look dirty from brake dust but i had just cleaned them a couple days ago which sucks, the chrome really shows the dust badly, i also need to get some side profile pics but these are good ones. My paint is probably going to get some sort of 2 tone pin stripe to help break up the black and orange some more and kinda of go against the harley look...not a bad thing just want to seperate it a bit more. Probably going to do either stainless PONTIAC letters and corsa style tips down the road and finally it needs to be wet sanded and buffed out.
Engine bay has a few things left, im getting some FRC's soon and a stainless radiator support, both of which will definitely add to the appearance, i also plan to eventually relocate my battery. Cowl will be cleaned up and painted and my intake bolts wich i stupidly ground all the zinc coating off of are going to be replaced...probably with stainless bolts so they dont rust like they are doing now. Let me know what you guys think
i really REALLY like what youve done with that! the colors are perfect together and you dont see many engine bays done in a glossy color, that took a lot of time im sure. all i would do would be to black out the rear tail lights with VHT, tint the windows, remove the side moldings, and get some new tips maybe like the GMMG ones or something. verrry nice!
awesome car! you really pulled off the two tone! and i love the AR rebels!! what are the demensions of them?? very curious because the stance is perfect.

I have thought about VHT'ing the tail lights but i first want to put my fill in letters and tips before i do that and see how it looks, LT1 Tail Lights are hard to find in good shape and mine are so id rather not spray over them, and i love the design, especially at night. The Side moldings are removed, i actually still have to put on the sail panel trim pieces. Tint is in the works, i really needs it. The Engine bay wasnt all that bad since the motor was cradled and out of the car when it was being painted so they just continued on into the engine bay to match the rest of the car.

Thanks for the compliments, I got the wheels used from a member off of this site, they are 18x9's up front and 18x10's in the back, my only realy complaint is the tire size on them, they are 275/40/18 which are an inch too tall and they throw off my speedo and acceleration just a bit. But I got them for a great price and they are in really good shape so i cant really complain.

Yea, the hood is kind of off on the ds front, its a GM or SLP hood (it was on the car when i bought it but its definitely high quality hood) but for some reason every single WS6 hood put on non WS6 cars likes to raise up like that in the corner, everyone i've seen anyways, im going to work on getting it down though.
Thanks for the compliments guys, it was a very long project and i spent many months without her...it feels good to drive it again

beautiful car, wheels, and stance are perfect. If you wanna get rid of brake dust buy some high quality brake pads, which are metallic or ceramic pads which cut down on brake dust
really the only things i would change have been said...
well maybe if you had the cash a nice set of twins to pretty up the engine bay a bit more
looks wise though the car is gorgeous!
Haha, i could very much agree with this. I would love to relocate the battery to the back, move the fuse box, get rid of A/C and ABS and then set 2 nasty snails in each corner. Then some custom headers going to them, run the downpipes through the openings in the engine bay and down the back. Then run one nasty front mount instead of an AC condensor and all the piping back up. OOOOO yes, i have definitely thought about that, haha
