WOOOOWW!
That IS the best looking SC I have ever seen NICE JOB!
Only one suggestion from the top of my head:
Lowering springs would GREATLY compliment the car and those rims (which I really like by the way) just my .02$

Lookin awesome man, very nice paint.
Time to get some GFX and you're set.
try including the sig only once in a post, when posting 5 times with a sig that long, that's a lot of scrolling.
very nice car. oh, how much that cost?

Please, NEVER put GFX on this car, i love the look of them without them (they are cool on iroc's and Z28's though)
Good eye on the colour, i couldn't picture it , but now, WOW!

looks great!!! I think Mark is trying to tell you to only post your signature once for each thread. I agree, this way I don't have to scroll down all night.
Thanks Keiran

I must admit, despite my car being white, i dont rate it as my first choice, and i've had THREE white cars.....
I have found though, that white works on larger cars - especialy with black detail.
Mark, your just a post *****, and i salute you! let me buy you a beer at thirdgen 03!

looks great! and i'm not a big fan of chrome wheels but i honestly like those. just lower it a little and you'll be set! for looks anyway... bigger motors are always an option!
although, i have to say that i like it when the headlight pockets are painted black... but that's just me. take it easy! - doc

I myself totally dislike SC's, but this one is amazing to say the least. Nice look overall and I would lower it and leave the grille and headlight pockets body colored.
A few things I noticed that I think would look unique is to get clear IROC front turn signal lenses and get the windows tinted. Maybe IROC grid-style taillights, but I think it looks great as-is.
I gotta say that I'll never look at SC's the same again...

Very nice car man.
I would add a billet grill to the front and lower, other than that, its sweet as hell. Clear sidemarkers would look good on the white as well.

Bub, the car is SWEET. Very nicely done. If you don't mind, the only suggestion i'd offer would be to paint white the black plastic parts of your taillights. My personal opinion is that if the grill/headlight pockets are body-colored, then the taillights look better body-colored as well. When I re-painted my '85 SC years ago, I did this and I think it looked great. Sorry I don't have any pics. Keep up the good work!

Love it! Nothing like new paint and wheels to make a man feel good. 
Great looking sport coupe. Hard to find any in as good as shape as yours these days.
Very cool.

bub

looks sharp.........can't see the pearl in it though if you still went with it.
should take a pic 3' back from the car on an angle with direct sunlight on the metal. that will show the color off the best.

Just to let you know if you run through the junkyards looking for parts.. Most odometers have 100k-120k miles on them.. So when your 305 reaches that.. be careful
