Default Updated the look... 14.4k friendly!

I cant believe its almost 70 degrees out in November so I went out yesterday, detailed the car and took some pics.
I got the hood off Craigslist dirt cheap so I could not pass it up especially already being the factory red color.

I am pretty much done with the appearance now (for the time being) I just have to focus on going faster.

**** man lose the Z28 badges... you trying to get me shot!
lol some hard core people out there man

I would have pulled these side moldings off a long time ago but the clear is pealing slightly around them and I am afraid of what might happen. I am waiting to get the whole car painted at one time and will do it then.

clean *** vert. I do agree that the badges and molding kind of hurt the look but not even enough to really change how nice the rest of the car is. I've always liked the non painted cme look, makes the car stand out in a good way especially with the black rims.

nonetheless sweet *** ride

I really need to do Heads/cam already but here is what I have had for the car in the last 3 years that did not get installed and eventually sold, in order:
MS3 Cam
Aftercooled Vortech kit
Rear mount turbo kit
TNT dual tank nitrous kit

And now nothing! lol
I keep finding good deals but eventually decide to sell the items due to time constraints but I think if I just get a good set of heads and a cam that I will be motivated to install them.
