Looks nice. I think I would have personally gone with a gloss black, but thats just my opinion. Also, I would suggest not painting your freedom spoiler black, it will look bad on the car. People will ask you when your gonna get it painted, allot.

I had the vinyl's on mine and HATED them. The stainless are the way to go. I'd rather put one set of $40 SS one's vs. 6 set's of $10 vinyls. Just my $.02... Keep up the good work -Freak-. You gonna put the 2nd Gen Z28 emblem out back like the sides?

Just bought the stainless fill ins from muffinbuster for $31
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3450&rd=1&rd=1


I think i'm going to just keep the 2nd gens on the side, if i find an extra $40 i want to blow i'll probably put another one on the back.

Cole Did you end up going with 1st or 2nd gen emblems?
Do you think you will have your flat back stripes on before the MNfbody car show?

yes i went with the 2nd Gen's I LOVE them. I bought 3 so it came to like $115 shipped Total overpay but i think they look hott. I haven't decided for sure on what stripes i'm gonna do yet but i think i will try the flat black as i've heard lots of good things and that's what i wanted anyway Just gotta decide what style i want, 30ths, 35ths, or hockeys. So many decisions. Did ya see my new rims in my Wheels Post? I'm hoping to have my car totally done by May. I'm gonna be working until Then end of april so i can't do it until i get home. but i've been build a significant selection of goodies for it. What is the official date for the MNFbody show? i REALLY want to make it as i've never met most of the MNfbody guys and i want to contribute to all the sexiness at the show.

Before


AFTER.




I can't believe how much that berger and fill ins changed the look of the car. Picked up the polished fill ins from muffinbuster, they are pretty nice. A couple burs i had to knock off but all in all they are nice.

I'm really enjoying it.

I did the same thing, and those inserts really do set it off. I wasn't sure about doing it either, but I am glad I did.

Looks great man!
