Default My Black Z28, Whistler, Taillights, Wheels

Just a couple pics since I didn't have any of it. Crappy day + still wet from the car wash + me sucking with a camera = no good pictures. lol

It was a semi-gloss. I didn't want it really shiny. It does look flat in the pics tho.

I like how you did the tails only semi-darkened. That's how I want to do mine.

Thanks for the comments!
I used VHT Nightshade on the taillights, then wet sanded, cleared, wet sanded, and buffed. I don't know how many coats, just til I thought they looked ok. The back-up lights kinda suck in the dark.

The rear is lowered about an inch or so. I took out the bushings on top the springs and just put in a thin piece of rubber. I don't really want to change the springs, it's more of a drag car than a turny one. It doesn't have a front sway bar either.

I was actually hoping my headlights were a little more glossy than they are but I didn't feel like retaping after I pulled it all off. They look better in person. (i think)

Yep, ET Streets on the rear 275/40's. They seem to hook pretty good on the street, I haven't been to the track yet with them. The wheels are 17x9 1/2's.
