I'm liking the ZL1 rims. I really think you should ditch the fixed headlights. I have never seen those look good.

I'm with this guy, the front of the car just has too much going on with 16 "holes" up front. Other than that it looks good! I love the flared quarter panels

Its plasti dip not primer. You have to see it in person to enjoy it!

@Master Tomos yes there was but since it was at the body shop I customized everything to the wheels

My suggestions: clear covers over the headlights to make them look more finished, get that hood gap closed up some more, and merge the nostrils on the hood. Also consider filling in some of the holes on the front, it looks a little busy.

It looks like a lot of skilled work went into this, and I honestly like everything except the way the front end looks right now.

I think you're moving in a good direction. It's not my personal preference, but it is cool to see something a little bit different. I think if you tighten up the gaps with the lights and put covers on them as suggested, it'll clean up the front end.

I agree that this might look a lot cleaner with a C6-ish style headlight covers.

I think black "Pontiac" lettering and a black bird on the front would be great additions.

Looks good but I must say i prefer the color it was. My car is off right now getting a ton of work while I am in Afghan till the summer. Then i need to decide on paint color or keep it GM I paint all my cars the same color red.

Black Pontiac Inserts and maybe black hood stripes on the ram air scoops will look good.
