it doesnt look bad, some black wheels might would help it, and id be interested in seeing it with some gloss black strips, gloss black berger, and blacked out corner lights.

also id take intimidator off the spoiler, and im not feelin the 5inch one, 3 woulda looked better IMO

I wouldnt have done that color.. except for maybe somewhere on the hood(stripes ..lol). Get a different spoiler, that wing is screaming Import. you did a pretty good job on the conversion , those hoods never line up perfect.

It's flat black, but your door and hood don't match the rest of the car, imagine that! There is no way out of color matching, I guess.

line the panels, ditch the high spoiler, get a decal for the the side of the cowl like the dick harrell style and than a matching hockey stick style stripe on the side but dont put the lower part of the stripe on ( the part on the bumper cover ) get it in a color close the the chevy blue or match the red in the rear panel.
