Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
Thanks guys. GTA I will be at C&C this sat my last one I'm moving to Texas next week so I'll see you out there. As for the Camaro down the hood originally I wanted Chevrolet and a red bowtie close to the window. I did this to bring out the hood a little just like on the blue one. If not any other ideas I could do. I'm always open to them. That's what this site is all about. An as for the wire holders pep boys had them for 40 bucks and they have been my favorite ones as I try different one alot lol.

Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
So I looked at my pics again and figured why u asked if the hood as steel. I took the engine pic a day before I put my SS hood on. And it was the stock steel hood. Good eye and sorry for the confusion.

Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
First off, I'm a big fan of silver IROCS! 18" chrome wheels look cool. BUT I'm not feeling the stripe or hood lettering. Almost seems like stripe should be towards the rear?? Overall its a beautiful car, I just got a vert and cant wait to start modding out!

I would never own a vert due to my geographic location, but your car is absolutely stunning. I love the paint!

Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
Generally these cars look like **** in verts, but you've done this car justice. Love the silver/black top. Works perfectly. Finally a sick 'vert done right and doesn't look like a sore thumb.

Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
Well here it is, I got this car for FREE. I'm just gonna use it as a Winter beater,lol.
I'm in the process of doing a "restomod" on it. I might do little things to pep it up a little but nothing serious is planned. Just want to make it look nice and drive it.

Re: Here is my new girl all prettied up
I know, these little cars actually have a pretty big following in the drift crowd since they're RWD. I found a site alot like here that has some pretty good info on them. You should have seen it when I first got it, it was DIRTY as hell,lol. I spent 4 days under the hood of it with both brake cleaner, a wire brush, a sponge and dish soap to get it at least that clean.
