Usually project cars get better every time you see them.

This gets worse.

The ZL1 wheels actually look like they will look good on the F-cars. Probably not a Camaro, but a Trans Am anyways.

I like them a lot. Good to know there is another wheel option out there. I think its funny how much **** people are giving you, like they have never seen a car that is getting paint and body work done. Personally I'll be glad to see it when its finished.

I actually really like the way the wheels fill out the wheel wells, but I have a feeling that either the fronts will have issues going lock to lock without rubbing the wells and the rears may be a bit tall for the wheel wells once the suspension starts traveling. Keep us updated.

looking GOOD! those wheels look sexy on the car. what color are you going to go with on the car in the end? personally i am digging the white. usually i hate verts but this is just going to be awesome in the end.

are those USMC stickers on the "roll bars"?

also i like the headlights but you need to paint the surround black to give it some contrast IMO (i know its a long way before that)

Woohoo! At least its one color! Ever consider a battleship gray color? I've seen a few guys on here do it and it looks pretty sweet. Also- I really think you should go back to the standard headlights...the fitment on the stationary ones looks really bad.

i wonder how many people who said it "looks like ****" are going to be "wow, bad *** car" when this thing is done. coming along nicely, true car people saw the potential before it was finished.

keep up the good work

@Furius1 As far as the fitment of the lights, it's not fully bolted down yet; thats why they look that way. The function on them though is incredible. @sick tight I literally drove it down the street top less and got about a million thumbs ups lol

Looking forward to the finished product. In that pic though, looks like the rear wheels could be pushed outwards a little more. But looking good. Unique.
