They will let you post more pics as long as you host them on a site such as photobucket.com, pm me if you need help, do you have any new pics of the rear tailight setup?

I was just thinking, your car would look alot better if you got a 5" spoiler to compliment the large cowl...like irocbirdbuilders car...

I don't like the cowl. Is the paint supposed to look kind of flat? or is that just the picture. Either way sweet car man.

yes the paint is kinda flat ( which is the look i was going for) it was going to be totally flat but i decided it needed a little gloss, the hood was not glossed in the picture, were thinking about painting the sides of the hood black or a ghost grey, should be all done soon though i hope, good idea on the spoiler, i wish i would have knew about it before this one got molded on hood might get change still but were gonna paint it and see how it looks first, i will have more pictures tomorrow of the 68 camaro taillights and such

I'm a little surprised at how unoffensive those z3 gills are.

seems funny to see an rs grille on a car with more than average customization.

anyway, nice ride.
