Talking Mrs. Peacocks New Shine

Washed my car last weekend and took some pictures down in a little placed called Devil's Hollow near my house. They were doin work down there so I snatched up the opportunity. My friend actually died down there. R.I.P. Henry.

But give me some comments on how you like it. I prefer the good comments more then the bad, but all is welcome.

















Thanks guys.

Thanks a lot man. I love it down there, especially in the fall.

It was also kind of a memorial for my buddy. He was so into cars and loved them with a passion. He wrapped his car around a tree in there one night this last summer. Thanks for the positive comment. I try my hardest with what I have.

100% sure Kdog. I live right near there. They took the bridge out to do some work. You can see the huge digger in the backround of some of the pictures. Where abouts do you live in the Fort?

I don't dislike the car as a whole but with the wheels that is the first thing that draws the eye. So the fact that they are 20' no matter what design you are going to get the haters. The design isn't terrible, but I think you can help the situation by lowering the car or if you had originally gotten them in maybe 18'. The pictures are nice. I think to compensate for the aggressiveness of the wheels you need to get some stainless steel accents and finish the front blackout with fog drll and turn signal covers also tint the windows. Maybe if you can spring for a hood I think a ws9 or ws6 hood would really set the car off and then you can put your mood lighting like you were discussing in another thread in the hood and side vents. That would complete the car . So back to the wheels that is the flashiest thing on the car so you need to have more balance so get the more aggressive looking hood and whatever else. Then I think when people see those same wheels on hooked up looking car it wont detract and it might actually attract some different looks. Just my opinion as it is your car in the end as well as your budget and from the name trans am kid you might be like me-a young broke ls1 owner.
