Talking new photos of the hugger SS

I had one of our members (Tim Lane) paint on some custom stripes last week, he did an awesome job. I tried applying the decals, but gave up in frustration and decided to have them painted instead. Glad I did, it came out very nice.

So, the car is now DONE appearance-wise. Here is what I have done so far on the externals:

custom painted SLP SS grille
painted door mirrors (were black before)
custom painted hood and trunk stripes
gloss black rear panel to match stripes
97 SS Camaro emblems on front & rear (sides coming soon)
painted headlight mod
window tint
ls1tech decal
Hotchkis lowering springs
import-spec tail lights
center mount exhaust system
Boyd 18" wheels/tires

Looks very nice!!!

I also had my stripe painted after messing with some stickers. i just need to get off my *** and get my rear painted like yours now. I like that. I was thinking about getting just the back half painted black. But the stripe with the back loods damn good.
