For the wheels I think I've got her convinced to do black centers w/ pink lips ( ) so we'll see how that works out.

Are you running the tips out the center of the bumper or through the openings in them?? If your doing them through the bumper ...maybe something like these would work for you. http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/z28-exhaust-tips.html ....just a thought. The car looks great by the way!

Thanks for the tip! I'll be running the tips just like stock, you just have to sqeeze them a little tighter together with this bumper.

If it was mine I'd have done it black or mabye a kandy blue with black anodized wheels. The pink is great for her, and I like driving it as long as she's in the car.


I'll like it better when the boost motor goes in

Off topic, but are you the originator or the "Whistler mod"?
