Default New pics of SS#502

Cleaned her up this weekend and took some pics at work with the planes I fly and work on. Most people don't like the ground effects on here but I think overall the pics came out pretty good.

Looks nice. It would look better with the graphics painted to match the car.

Do you mean the 30th Anniversary stripes or the ground effects? I'm going back to Hawaii next home and plan on repainting the whole car Artic white and doing the stripes in a white pearl, kinda like ghost graphics.

When you paint the whole car white, its going to look sick. Those white wheels look great also. Nice car.

Thanks, it's a 30th Anniversary SS that I bought from the original owner and he said he didn't like the stripes so he ordered the car without them. The paint is still decent but I would like to claen her up from all the little nick and scratches.

If you do get it repainted, have them paint on those orange stripes, and I'd paint the headlight buckets white as well.

I had her tinted and it was too dark and didn't have the gfx, got kind of tired of the plane SS look. It's not hard to pull them off though if I end up not liking them later. Plan on keeping her for a while and might return her back to stock. I took the pics with my new Nikon D40 and thought the pics came out pretty good. I had some dust that got caught up in the camera and had to blow it out. Didn't find out till after I took the pics.
