Default few quick pics after a wash

ive been so busy with school, work and other crap, but i finally got some pics of my car after going nonstop with the stereo, which still isnt complete, but my daddy thought it would be nice to wash it for me, so when i went to put it back in storage at my G-ma's for the week, i snapped some quick pics...

car looks great, The black and white combo is blended very nicely. And I am glad that you left the chrome lip on the rims, I hate all black. But don't tell me you one of those guys that leaves there track number on the windows cause they think its cool.

I agree that the chrome wheel lip is a must.

good looking lt1...........the black on the white looks bad ***........the wheels really tie the whole car together nicely

how come your hood sits up higher on the drivers side where it meets the bumper?
is that a crease in your passenger side QP above the wheel?

my dad washed the car for me, and didnt have time/patience to clean the numbers off, (me neither) so they stay on there till i get home next weekend and have 5-10 minutes to clean em off.

and ya, i agree the wheels are what does it, before when they were chrome, it looked good but not nearly as good as now, there was too much white/chrome, then a black top half so painting them was the best thing i ever did.

and the hood is aftermarket cause the stock ram air hood got cracked, so this one fits like ****, it was on the car when i bought it, o well. it functions as ram air and looks decent from 20 ft away.haha

and ya the ding on the pass 1/4 panel is the only thing on the car, was there when i got it and i didnt even notice it till after a weeks, most people never see it. props for good eyes.

looks good. I had the same dent on my LT1, lol must be an LT1 thing. Only thing I don't care for are the tips, stick out a little to far IMO. Good color combo.

some people think the same about the tips, however my buddy and i spent about 30 minutes striaght lining them up and welding/rewelding them to be exactly there, we decided it was best. they are flush with the furthest point of the bumper and i dont wanna burn the paint, like the stock tips have attendency to do.

thanks for comments
