nice day, new pics

It is a nice sunny day today so I took a few quick pics. sorry for the bugs and dirt.. since I hit a deer with my daily driver this car is getting alot more use. So until my daily driver gets fixed..

I havn't posted pics in a while showing my newer visual mods which include bow tie grill, blisters, tint, etc. I'm contimplating another visual mod, a high rise wing or hawks spoiler. What do you guys think would look better? I'm leaning toward a hawks spoiler, however I currently have a high rise..

My 4 year old son found a nice new bottle of brake fluid to play around with and did some damage to my car and paint.. grrr. So I'm currently seeking a mint condition drivers side grid tail light and it looks like I'll need a new set of front marker lights. Repainting the front fascia will be in the near future, now thanks to the brake fluid. I have a new dent in a tricky spot too, thats two dents in one year thanks to my little gremlin... damn kids, gotta love'em else I'd kill'em!

Brisk,
Whatever wheels they are they look great on that black car. I'm a little confused on your strips thou. Hard to tell with the black, but is the IROC sticker to low or the strips to high. Maybe I'm just being too picky.

hey guys, thanks for the replies. I think the tint and the wheels really set off the looks, the rest of the little things just add to it.

The rims are Boyd Coddington's Magneto's in 17 inch. crazynights I may be into a new set of rims here in the future.. if your interested in these I'll keep you in mind.

BlueZee28 I too love the scenery here.. makes for some great photo oppertunities.. for a truck! Theres some gorgeous places around here to use as backdrops but my lowered car wouldn't be able to make it there. One of these days when I'm driving by one of the many lakes I'll stop and take a few pics for ya

88ragtop I've always thought the iroc decals were too low and close to the striping.. but your the first one to comment on it. I believe the stripes are proper and along the body line.

You could change your brakes without taking your wheels off with those things.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't care for the wheels at all. Most of it could just be the backlighting in the pics though.

to be honest with you, I envisioned them to look different when I ordered them.. and I didn't like them at all when I mounted them on the car, but they've grown on me now...

I'd probably like them more if they were lit from the front with the car parked on a hard surface, so that there'd be some tire visible, too.

You should really upgrade the brakes though to fill up some of that empty space.

Awesome car and great backgound! The striping looks correct but the Iroc door decal should be roughly (I'd have to measure for exact) 1 - 2 inches above the top stripe. But this is splitting hairs on a gorgeous car!
