need to paint the holes under the hood to make it look right IMO, otherwise it makes the scoops look tacked on to me

like the wheels though, much better than the typical c4 or c5 vette stuff

Thanks for the comments.. Been debating on painting the top portion of the bumper black to blend with the hood more.. But for now, it's as is.. Got some driving to make up for.. New tips will come someday, want to put a whole new exhaust at some point.. Doubt I will change them before then..

Thumbs up

looks really good IMO.

I think the mirrors need to be black... if you have (or know anybody with) an extra mirror laying around spray it black and throw it on see what it looks like. I'm back and forth on it.

Already said it Looks really good. if i saw it in person i'd turn my head!

I think maybe if the spoiler was black to match the roof and hood it might look nice like that too?

I prefer stripes but the way the hood is its still nice. I like the flag style bird on the front, definitely a unique car.
