I like it. I can't suggest anything else. I don't really like the wheels, but they aren't horrible. Looks good as is.

What do those rims look like? 18's would be killer.

i'd like the wheels more if they were turned around (passenger on driver's side and vice versa)...it looks good, but it's kinda bland...i dunno why...it'd definately look better with some sunshine on it and it standing on some fresh pavement.

You are completly right aboult it looking bland, but most of that comes from like you said, a lack of sun, and the car is very dusty in those pics! The new rims, and springs should help give it alittle more bling, I hate the rims that are on it now, I bought the car with them already on the car, but first spent my money on the hood and paint, and the motor, but know that most of that is behind me, it's time for the rims and suspension

Lookin' awesome

The wheels are alright, nothing I would pick, but still decent..

New rims and lowering springs are gonna make a huge difference!

Some Snypers would make your car look sweet, don't know if they make them in 18's though, dropped the car too

Rims are ok, but not what I would get

the hood is from Cervinnis. it was $399. It is a very well made hood, and fit perfect without having to do any adjustments! The underside of the hood is completly finnished to and completly smooth! As for under the hood, it has a mild 350 with 10.1 comp, comp cams 210 int, 220 exh, 480 lift both sides, 112 lsa, stock intake, mildly ported heads, 24lbs injectors, tpis chip. The engine getting installed in the car very soon is a 406 with the holley stealth ram (fully polished!), bodix track one cnc's heads, comp cams xr274r solid roller cam, and an 11:1 comp forged short block (wiseco pistons, Summit 6" h-beam rods, factory cast crank). I will post pics of both the old and new motor ready to go in as soon as I steal my buddies digi cam again! And by the way, those snypers would look killer!! Thanks man! Anyone have any other ideas?

I like the hood, but at first it reminded me of a 72 Mach 1 Mustang. It is original though

The car needs chrome wheels to set off the paint job.
