DUDE, OMFG your car is absolutely beautiful!!!
And really nice touch with incorporating your secondary color into the ground effects like that... never seen that before.. might just have to steal that idea when it comes time for my custom pain
Seriously dude, two thumbs way up!
BTW, any interior shots?

I can't look at those pictures! They make my car look like a warmed over pile of crap!
Seriously, good job man. I can only hope to have a car like that someday.

I do have some interior pics, and will also give a shot of the underhood as well. I will have to do this when I get home though.
Thanks again,

My personal opinion is alot of our cars look funky with the black rims... but yours looks pretty damn sweet and sits on them well. Very sharp, the engine bay looks bad ***. I <3 ur car. NEVER SELL IT, BABY IT!

man i love your car
I really like that color blue/teal you have going with the black, looks sleek. And the painted aero portions are exactly what i want to do, except with white neons instead of paint. I think it'd be pretty cool

But these peoples color must be off on there computers, the stripes are teal. you need to see this car in person you would s#*t yourself,brandon is a good friend of mine and he failed to mention all the custom painted and powder coated parts on the car. Real nice touches.

Great looking ride!
I love the dark paint and wheels and how they contrast with the shiny wheel trim ring, headlights, and front marker lights. The only thing that breaks up this theme is the bright orange front/side marker lights. They seem out of place. Ever think of maybe swapping them out for a bright clear set?

I was wondering if anyone would catch the speedo, and I should have known that my TGO friends are eagle eyes
. The speedo needle is caught on the center of the gauge overlay, and I just have really cared about speeds under 65 enough to tear it open again. My steering wheel is from Billet Accesories Direct (BAD), and i bought it when they first came out, and now four years later I too would like to change to a little more contemporary billet wheel. I am thinkign of using a full billet wheel with the center painted black, and polished outer ring - too look similar to my wheels.
The color of the stripes is a teal color. It is a factory gm color used on the Corvettes, and is very similar to the teal offered on the Camaros. I will try to get some pics up with the stripes in the sun so you can see them - they kind of disappear depending on what light and angle you are looking at it with.
Thanks again for the support.

Kinda - I have a dash cap that is smoothed and painted gloss black with the teal stripes running through the windshield. I screwed that one up and my new one is at the body shop as we type.
Yes - I plan on being there again this year. Look me up you should have a good idea on where I will be.
Hey is your name Keith? Red Iroc convertible with super charger? Showed there with me a couple years ago?

The shiny wheel trim also stands out but looks really good. I just thought why have yet another colour on the side? This way it would match up. And I'm only talking about the front not the tailights (for those concerned about the import look). Just ideas.I really like your idea of making them dark. That would be a nice stealthy look.
Again, awesome ride.

I actually had the bowtie painted teal like the stripes on my old grille, and it did look very nice. I had planned on painting that again, but since my Drift R wheels have red in the center cap, and the polished calipers have red in the Baer logo, I have thought that it looks pretty good with just the little splash of red. I may go back and paint it again?

It has been smoothed and painted gloss black. Sounds like we will have a good turn out this year on 3gens. Later,

Also i love the idea of the stripes on the hood extending into the car on the dash. I've never seen it before but it sounds sweet. Awesome car! its a work of art

Thanks! You know I'm not sure. I had the pro- kit drop before the sportline springs, and measured before, but did not measure afterward (I was a little to excited with the new Baers, and springs). I'm sure you know that they are set for 1.75" drop. With my wheel and tire combo I don't think that there could be a better spring. They are a little sharp with the very thin tires, but overall handling is such an improvement I don't mind.

a really good site for picture hosting is photobucket.com
car domain is probably better for showing off your car however.
