Cool

PAINT- Freaking AWESOME. What is the official name of that color? It reminds me of the GTO Judge concept.

WHEELS- look like 19's might have been a better choice, but the good thing is they fill the wheel wells, which is always a danger with body kits

BODY KIT- I think it looks good on your car. It's tough to have a full opinion without seeing it in person. Not a huge fan on the rear valence, it looks a little tacked on... Speaking of that, you need to get an exhaust to properly fill the rear valence... that'll complete the look more and draw the eyes to the proper spot.

TAILLIGHTS- not bad, could be a LOT worse. I'm a huge fan of exports for that showcar look, but obviously I'm biased

Get some window tint and I think you'll be good to go. I actually don't mind your car as much as other people on this board, and that's surprising considering my car is fairly plain looking. I also recommend tinting the windshield slightly if you can... but I'm sure people will jump all over me for that one . Since you're now in Hotlanta (I'm a few hours south of you) I definately recommend tint. Local shops should hook you up with any % tint you want since you have out of state plates....

OVERALL: NICE WORK!!!!!

I really don't like anything about it. I like that you put a lot of work into your car but I agree with what was said earlier, why not just sell the lt1, and get an ls1.

Also, I don't like the body kit at all, I'm just not very pleased with it. Sorry for my opinion

i think u did a hell of a good job!! but i think it'll look better with a RKSport body kit and maybe smoke tail lights to complete the orange and black theme!! but overall it's sexii to me but u need to fix that gap between the hood and front bumber and get better exhaust tips!!

i have mixed emotions bc it has potential. its better though. i like the ultra Z but not sure about it on your car...for the theme i think an ss hood with a black manta stripe would make a world of differance though
