Smoked blue headlight lenses. I wish I had a link for the mod. It basicly involves getting high heat spray paint, that has a light color to it and sticking the lenses in the over at 220 for a bit and your lights will look more streamline

The other half of the picture?

Is this a trick question?

Wait hold on, the other half WAS missing! The image was cropped when I
first went to this thread, then after i posted, magically the other half
of the image appeared! For real, no crap!

Complete... I don't think it's ever complete.

Definitley painted caliipers... or powdercoat those bad boyz.

What's it look like under the hood... that's appearance too.

How about hockey stripes, or a stinger, or Grand Sport stripes on the front fender?

What kind of grille do you have?



Were you planning on upgrading the wheels to 18's or 19's?

I agree. And don't forget to get some caliper decals from Afterthought Auto, perhaps also the GS fender hashes in silver or graphite and oooooh - the Z06 style gauge face!

brah what you mean what's it missing? It's like missing everything brah. Go down to Speedvision and get yourself some alteezas bro, and a aluminum wing.

then go down to pep boys in the real performance aisle and get yourself some neons. how you gonna pick up them bitches without neons brah?

Then you need some stickers brah. Go down to any performance shop and ask for stickers of car parts companies. and stick em on your fender! Don't forget nylon striping!

Then get a big *** NAWZZZ tank and put it in the hatch area. No need to connect it! People will look and say "wow that thing is fast! Look at the size of that NAWZZ tank!!!11!!"

I say it looks pretty damn sweet the way it is man.

If you want, do some silver/chrome accents. Berger stripes. ZL-1 or even just GS ones.

Oh, and the one thing thats definatly missing...

PICS OF HOOTERS GIRLS WITH IT!!! :p

Depends on how far you want to go and how much money you want to spend. I have seen some really good graphics come out of the paint shop I took my car to. That is an option but I will tell you, it isn't cheap. If you go in for custom graphics expect to pay $2,000 and up.

Otherwise, you could leave it alone. I think the car looks great. What about a guage overlay? Maybe you could do some more work to the interior or under the hood! Custom leather seats are always nice. If you would like me to take pictures of my leather seats, let me know.

I just love the NBM. You should defintely consider getting into detailing that engine bay. The NBM can be accentuated with several pretty colors.
