Few new things

I got clear side markers, i really think those made a differance in apperance, the amber looked bad on the red car.

I got these tips of the wrecked car i have, there 3" and 18" long

And heres a side view, i know what most of yall think of the rims, and im not a fan of them either but IMO they look better than z28 rims with small tires. Im gonna lower it 1 1/2" in a few weeks.

I like the tips and the side markers. Where did you buy the sidemarkers from? And how much if you dont mind me asking

I'd like to put them on my car.

I think Z28 wheels and small tires would look better than those rims, which look like 16s anyway. But thats just my opinion.

They are called "shadows". Follow them up into the driveway, it is a person's shadow.

No prob. The upper "spot" looks like the shadow of his arm as he is holding the camera. check the angle of the pic, then the light source, next figure where he'd have to stand to take that pic....its him.

Those wheels definally look better inperson, espically on the left front where it sits a inch lower. hopefully next weekend ill put lowering springs in for about a 1 1/2" drop.

heres the shadow info, 1) my knee because im kneeling down, 2) my arm, 3) hand with the camara in it. the sun was directly behind me. Im surprised no one mentioned the color changing paint in the first pic from the sun light, or that the car looks brown instead of maroon.

Ever notice there's an unspoken competition on there boards? It's called "Who can point out the most minute and seemingly insignificant detail in a picture?". The only rule is that the observation has to have absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the post I think the JFK assasination was studied less than that shadow! lol. The clear side markers and the tips are both nice touches. I'm going with a silver color like someone else above said they are and i'll have to do a little photoshop to compare clear to amber side markers on a silver car.
