I just put some older style polished ws6 wheels on my car, it looks a lot like the one in post 16, I love it. They are my favorite wheels in my budget. I will get pics when the weather gets better, cant keep my car clean for one second here in Missouri.

It is tough. You firebird guys and ladies have it a bit easier, since you are all monotone. The shiny black top ls1 camaro people have a bit more of a balance game when it comes to exterior mods. Too much sends our look into the garbage can........the emphasis is simplicity and balance.

Nice things can be accomplished with just the simple things such as a flawless detail and absolute cleanliness in your presentation. Modding can be accomplished, but it is more tricky than it seems.

The best I've seen so far is when you don't try to help SOM.....let it be by its "moody" self and you'll be just fine.
