I like what I see. It's not the usual which is good. Has a badass look to it. One suggestion-get some clear markers, the amber is really breaking up the red/black theme you've got going on.

Hopefully I'll see you around some time!

Hey Mike. The car is looking good..

I'm definitly in favor of you blacking out your side markers/turn signals instead of just going clear, seems like it'd match the blacked out tails, black wheels and black hood alot better.. see if you can buff out your tails to make them a bit more glossy, though..

Your car sits lower than mine.. how've you been doing w/regards to bottoming out? how are your y pipe and cutout holding up?

well havent hit the y-pipe or the cut out yet. the cut out doesnt sit as low as you think. ill try and get some pics of it.now mostly my subframes take the abuse over bumps and stuff.

yeah i think the clear markers would stand out more then the stock ones.

I might do a black on top 2-tone to go with that hood but it looks good as is too.
I agree that blacked out corners would look better

they were stickers and i paid about $30 for them. i seen them on ebay for motorcycles which i think are the same for about $20 but i dont know how thick they are. search ebay for wheel stripes. maybe you can have someone photoshop them onto iroc rims thats what soemone did for me.
