Thanks guys
Like some of you have said the car looks a lot better in person, wish I had a better camera then this 3mp canon. I had some extra pearl white paint that I was going to paint the calipers with but ran out of time when I had the rims put on. So now I am still not sure if I want to paint them white or maybe red? I was going to go with another set of 18" iforged wheels simular to the ones on my 01 SS but decided not to since my wife drives the car most of the time and would kill her if she curbed them
so its the stock 10 spokes for now. I was going to put on a chrome nose badge to match the emblems like I did with my 01 SS
Since I have 2 of them sitting in the garage but I like how the stock nose badge looks so I am going to leave it.
The paint job on this car wasnt as much as my 01 SS, my friend painted this car and gave me a break. The paint job on it is about $5,500, car didnt need any body work since it was in great condition. He took the whole car apart and did the door jams and trunk. At the time I was thinking about leaving the top/grill black but the pearl white doesnt really look right with the plain gm black so I wanted a clean look and had the whole car done in pearl white. Its simular to my 01 SS and I think it looks really good
I hate not having new pictures of my 01 SS but I am hoping to have some new pictures soon. Lots of new stuff on the car and havent seen a SS like it.

ditto on not doin just plain black with pearl white, i dont think it would match well at all to have such a clean, classy color and then just plain ol' black right next to it.

Just my opinion, but the solid white look kind of cheapens the car...it makes it look like a V6 with SS trim. Or almost like they forgot to tape the roof off and sprayed EVERYTHING. I LOVE the color, and I LOVE the car, but like everyone was saying I think it just needs some contrast. If the roof were black and maybe a different grill...it'd probably be the SICKEST car I've ever seen! All in all it's still sweet as hell though! Looks like my old car...check out my site, it could almost be a non-pearl twin.
