Default Playin with Photoshop and ...

I deleted the turn signals and was surprised at how neat it looks without them ... so I lowered it, tinted it and blacked out the wheels for fun ... what ya think? I think it looks mean as shyt!!!

I think somethings missing..... Oh it's the turn signals! For some reason it just looks like it's missing. Probably b/c I know they're supposed to be there

Looks good but is there no rear spoiler? kinda looks how the firebirds do with out one. Also for some reason that background is messing with my eyes just looks weird, most likely just me though.

There's a spoiler on there! It's probably a low z28 spoiler. They all look that way from that angle. Car does look really good. Post up a before pic so I can fully see the changes.

Eh.....I think GM did a good job of blending all the necessary stuff into these cars so they looked awesome. The turn signals didn't really stand out anyway IMO.

Maybe Fiberglass it and then filler? I know there's a type of filler that is flexible that body shops use but don't know the name/etc.

I was thinking, maybe drill small holes and mount a row of orange LED's in the channel for the turn signals/etc.? Like these ... http://www.lsdiodes.com/shop/index.p...products_id=25 ... so they're clear and are almost invisible unless you're looking for them

that looks like the meanest lt1 ive ever seen

its weird how the simpleist things make it look that much better

all you would have to do is -- tint, powder coat the rims, lower the car, and glass/paint the front bumper

and just use your fog lights as your turnsignals - just wire them and switch out the bulbs for yellow leds
