i think i have some more pics of the old rims i'll have to dig them up if i didnt delete them. now i have a polished camaro emblem on the nose its in my video on youtube. and the punisher skull i like. Any ideas on what i should do next as far as exterior before i get it painted? the altezzas are leaving and after paint the blackouts gone. except the corners i like the corner blackouts.

SS emblem on the side is too high, a-pillar cover (traingle piece) is crooked, rear SS emblem is crooked, and tail lights (but you already said that those were going bye-bye).

otherwise that car looks good. IS that a real SS? i see you have the spoiler too, but the hood isnt aligned, so i assume its converted. not a fan of badging ANY car of something its not. If the VIN wont pull up the model then it shold be badged on the car, JMO.

fix those few issues and itll be one sweet looking car.

billet grille - gross on LT1s
wheels - no, they look like Cobra R wheels
blackouts - no
ricer taillights - no

Only my opinion.

probably because you used a forbidden word so it had to be changed.

the hood is crooked cause i bought it after it had been wrecked and fixed. the body shop used was obviously **** poor. it has the slp stickers in the doors. the only options were rims and suspension other than the hood and spoiler. i dont know what happened to the stock rims it came with the ugly aluminum ones with 4 mismatching tires 2 of which were on backwards. the guy i bought it from was more interested in FUBU than taking care of his car.

i've got some video of the interior completley empty nothing but the dash. I love working on it when i get it a little closer to complete i'm gonna post up a before during and after video. a guy i work with is gonna show me how to prep for paintwork and i'm gonna buy a little truck to drive while i do all that. next i'm going to take the brake calipers off my wrecked 97z and either paint them or have them powdercoated. while i'm at i'm gonna get new rotors and pads. i'm currently looking for a good suspension setup the shocks are going and i'm gonna overhaul the whole suspension front and rear but i need some help with setup as far as what to buy.
