I love the paint scheeme and hood, but i dont really like the rims, i think the rims 9ball has on his vette would look nice on this, but black. And I would have left the front lights clear. That just my taste, i'm not trying to thrash.

wheels look too small bc of the polished lip effect
headlights look like covers from far away, prolly better to paint the insides or leave oem

Thanks for the kind words!

Each to his own! We have done 3 different combo's on this car...I really like the smoked lights with the blue color.

x2... I wouldn't drive it if it was stock or had over 800HP... Way too much black, and something about that hood bugs me.

maybe cause its a scoop on top of a scoop. it does not intergrate at all with the already there Zo6 scoop comprised in the front bumper. so, like you, the hood doesn't do it for me, as it looks out of proportion. neither do the black rims, or the lettering on the rear work for me. get more creative with those few little areas, and i believe there is still a better final product to be had.

regardless, fantastic work to say the least...

I like the back if you took off the wording.

Front looks horrible IMO the two scoops just don't fit right next to each other like that. Just too much going on. Stock hood maybe??

Stripe is ok but I don't like stripes on anything. Headlights meh. Wheels.....not a huge fan of the rivets.
