They don't come with passenger side. They only came on the drive's side on the old vettes.

Looks similar to my old T/A. I would definately lose the body kit and go CETA and it would look ten times better if it was me but either way, very nice looking car!!!

i'm not gonna lie, i usually really don't like body kits. but the picture of your car with the lip and stock hood is just pure sex to me. i almost like it better with the stock hood or perhaps a firehawk hood.

either way, looks great man!

Thanks guys! It took like three-four months, making, shipping then painting. Which isnt too bad. With the car being lowered, it doesnt make it that bad to drive around with the lip. I've only scraped the y pipe. The passenger stripe, I took it off just to see how it would look again with it plain. To me it feels like that side of the car is naked. Right now I'm just debating on getting rid of the stripes all together?, or getting the black bird stripes, I have no idea. I mean, what do you guys think? Should I keep the grand sports, driver side and put back on the passenger, remove them? Or even with the black bird stripes? Its kinda wierd, the stock hood didnt look too bad on the car. But I dont think I shall be going back to that hood any time soon. The fitment was pretty damn good. The only thing I can think of is just that its a lot lighter than the stock hood. Thanks again guys.
