I would recommend a trans am ceta diffuser from 6LE. Seen it in person, looks absolutely killer.

if you were here in tx there would be flies & misquitos in it.

thx man....black would give it a different look but the chrome vette rims actually compliment it better if you could see it in person. this coming from someone who until i saw it, did not like green or chrome rims - lol. im actually gonna get some green ghost flames on the hood & coming out the side vents...watch for my new thread & vote in my poll. thx



on the bumper...it may be too late but i think if you were to follow the contour of the bumpers intake instead of taking it to a point it would look better, not to mention a little different then the car he's trying to emulate. its his car so its right for him, but its just a suggestion...it will look killer either way. great job!

edit: heres my link to my flame paint https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...bird-poll.html

I agree I think it would flow better if it followed the line in black. Either way your doing a bad *** job.

Agreed you are doing a heck of a job. I like what was editted here also, by not bringing it to a point. But hey, you can do whatever you like. It has been fun following this thread. Keep up the good work.
