Looks like it, mine are too. I swapped in rear Camaro side markers to my fronts, I hated the yellow.

I dig your car man. It reminds me of my NBM WS6 I had... I loved that color.

Polish the center portion of your tails...

I've been debating polishing it, or putting grey vinyl on instead. Any opinions?

It feels great. It pulls significantly harder, but it's the sound that's amazing...or more like intoxicating. I love it. I doubt my neighbors do though


Yes, all my side markers are red. A friend had a totaled Camaro, and I took them off his car. They match the brakes, and will match my Z06 wheels...once I get them on.




I also have white parking lights

Very nice and clean. Love that CF lid. Really sets off the engine bay because of the shinyness. Ahh Only thing I really noticed was the engine bay needs a little more love. Otherwise looks great. Where did you get that V8 sticker at? Nice little touch to the cabin. Come up with that one yourself?

What would you suggest? I've already done the !Wire mod, as well as painted coils, !EGR & !AIR, painted the bolts & Headlight brackets grey.

What more would you suggest - I'm all ears.

And the badge I got for the car said "Formula V8". I didn't want the "V8" on the back, but didn't want to throw it out. I think it worked out pretty well.

I have the same problem with polishing the center tail section. I have metallic silver decal to put in there but i think Im still going to polish it.. sit back see if I like it and then put the decal on...worse case take the decal off... and yes I'd go with silver metallic decals if I was you.

Those wheels don't look bad at all. I'd prolly go with something polished... There's another cat on here that has a regular T/A NBM and he has these 5 spoke polished wheels that look killer.. keep an eye out for his sig.

I know 'BadBluFormula' (I believe) has Chrome ZR1's and it looks awesome.

I'm going with Z06's since I have two laying around. Once I finish the ET Streets, these will become the front wheels. I still need to find two 18x10.5's for the back though.


Also, I love your username. I tried to get the plate "LAYNPIPE", but it got rejected. "SVT BAIT" was a close second

The PS pulley looks dirty, that is the thing that stuck out to me.
