Looks great!.
As already stated, the rims look dull now...at least in the first of the 3 pics. Probably just in comparison to that nice paint??
Maybe get them polished. I love those rims.
That's not a knock on the car though...hey, it's always something to do, right? That never-ending search for perfection.
Again...sweet ride!

car is great, paint is awesome, blue stripe is sweet!!!!!!!!!!
F-Body Tim it was a compliment on the shiny paint......i think other people on this site just assume that i would think nothing is good enough. you should rethink your comment.
don't discriminate or say such things about me because of my car, i think it looks good.

Thanks for all the opinions, good or bad.
Actually, the ground effects were off an RS 
As for the wheels- they will be repolished and painted when I get some time and they are dirty in the pics. I didnt have time to do a full detail job, just a quick wash.
TA#5: Jeff treated me well, put up with me being picky. I'm not totally satisfied though. I still had to rebuff some parts of the pieces and the job he did on the nose is nothing too special.

andy,
i'm sure i can pick the paint apart as well. you can tell me later how much you paid that guy. i offered you up my bodyman but nothing comes cheap from him for perfection...but you already know that one. Maybe i can help you buff it out if it's an issue, i have all the supplies. Going into the garage right now to paint my nose for saturday....i know i'm a slacker huh? 3 days to paint, tune the carb and then trailer her.... ought to be fun.

Sweet. Always loved your car. I was looking at one just like it. I only wish you would have keep the stock gfx.
Oh well, still looks good.
Good choice on keeping the blue.

I know perfection has a price, but the car isn't perfect so I wasn't gonna pay a ton of money to have perfect paint on just the bumpers and ground effects, especially since they're gonna get stone chips anyway. If I was getting the whole car painted at once, then I'd want perfection and I'd be happy to pay for it. Theres just some minor things, thats all.
