That looks good. The stance looks great. I also like the Iforged Aero's. Those are my next wheels. Do you have any more pics of them? I would like to see some if you do.

That looks great! Are you still running the stock shocks? How's the ride quality?

As far as the stripe...as a die hard Chevy guy, I can honestly say that I neve have liked the 35th stripes. The manta will look much better with the wheels and black panel you already have. (just my opinion of course)


EDIT: After taking a closer second look at your car, I wouldn't even do the manta stripe. It looks nice and clean the way it is now!

Looks killer! If it were me the only kind of decal I would do would be the fill in for that section infront of the scoop, mantas don't look to great IMO

thanks man. yes I'm still using the stock de carbons, but honestly the ride quality isnt that bad. but at the same time i havent rode in a F-body that had aftermarket shocks and springs so i dont have much to compare it to. to me the ride isnt bad though.

as far as the manta or 35th stripes, I'm still debating. i aint going to do anything right now b/c i dont have any money so i have some time to decide. I might not do anyting like you said. we'll see.

thanks for all the compliments so far.

Just a few pics from the side (from a distance), maybe a close up and another angle shot just to see how the wheels look.

Looks great! It also looks like someone stole one of your "S's"

But seriously, all that money in the iForged and you cut the springs?
