Finally got some NEW pics!

I decided to take the striping off my car and I'm very glad that I did, I love the look. I waxed her with some Meguiar's Gold Class wax, best wax I've ever used hands down. It was easy to apply and easier to remove, and the shine is incredible. I'll never use another wax again!

The hood is the same color as the car, you can see what I mean about black at night. The wheels are 17x8.5 ROH ZR6 wheels I got from JDWheels.com The design is similar to the Impala wheel but these are set in more to give a nice wide outer dish.

Thanks everyone!

To end the hood pin Qs once and for all.

I have 4 hood pins because I opted to not get a hood that was held down with a latch. I need the 4 of them to actually hold the hood on.

beautiful, I think putting 2 pins near the rear of the hood would look better, but that's being picky.

Be sure to check out Thirdgen Nationals Regional board

Great car man; I think you nailed the wheels. They look like they were made just for that car. The only thing I would say is that you should lower it if you haven't already. Thats just my opinion and you can take it for what it's worth...not much

I've seen an identical color RS in my area, and I must say...the color is really really awesome. I, personally...like the hood pins.

Your car is amazing, those wheels fit perfectly, and I would suggest getting a 5" spoiler. It'll look amazing.

Finally! Someone who likes the pins! lol

I get sh*t from people for them but I like the way they look, and they perform a function. I am still debating over a Z28 aero spoiler or the 5" Hawk's spoiler, I keep going back and forth on that one. But that's a next winter mod, I need to do motor work! Need to make more power *grunts*!
