Looks Great!
I like how the vette wheels set out to the fender and fill the wheel wells.

Thank the lord for a fiber optic connection, I would've cried if I was home at 19.2k!

Pics look good! I love the B&M handle.

Sweet ride! I like the wheels!

The only things that seem a little out of place to me are the fire extinguisher and the fog lights look too blue when they're not on and ruin the black/red trim look you got going.

Otherwise

What brand are those fog lites? I think they'd look good on my blue car :hail:

I dig red

Next mod before the paint job will be the SS style scoop/cowl in black with the inside of the scoop painted red. Other than that, the only other red will be the break calipers. Interior wise, seriously considering intergrating a laptop and wireless keyboard in the dash, ( I am a computer geek with thousands of mp3's, CD's suck) either that or one of those clarion DVD systems. It will be unique when its done. Not rice though.. .NO RICE.
