Very NICE!!! Very RED!!!!! I like the look of the 17's. Not too big, not too small. Can't go wrong with chrome.

Very sharp car. To me, it looks a little high though. You should lower it. Other than that, beautiful!

i dont understand why everyone says a car is too high. most likely it came stock from the factory like that. so that means its not too high. i like ur car dude.. kinda what i did want mine to be like but then i got this one and i am set with what it looks like .. even if it is "too high"

Actually, it has Eibach lowering springs on it.....
Those pics were takin at weird angle so maybe thats why it looks high. Center of car is only 6" from ground.

Z28racer....u know what the under hood looks like
I do need to get some interior pics....just too lazy to clean it up!!

Looks good man, Ive never been crazy about the Daytona hood, but it works well! As far as it looking like its riding to high, I think it looks perfect.

So is that LT1 lookin thing really whats under the hood?

Car looks nice! But for some reason I believe some of the pics have been "edited" The pic of the side view looks as if you took it to windows paint and made all your black parts darker,might be just me though. I noticed the holes in the hood,cowl end,windows,shadow of wing on deck looks all "edited" and even the shadow on the ground looks fake,I guess I didn't get enough sleep last night,oh well,sharp car!

I was going to say the same about the window decal too. Beautiful car. I love the wheels, can't wait until I can afford them. I don't think it sits too high either, like you said just the angle. Heck at certain angles my car looks awesome too, then others, it's like yeeesh.

Anyone know of a place I can host some pics that will actually work for my signature. I'll try adding a pic here and using it's url, so don't mind me.

No no.....Window's Paint sucks in the first place.....Photoshop would be the correct choice for editing, but I promise ya it's all real......That is just the way the camera takes in light....sometimes stuff is darker than it really is......Daytona Hoods have the holes in the side, and mine (ASCD) has underneath covers that can be put in there so that its not just open to the engine bay......Get some more sleep next time and thanks for the comments

IROCZTWENTYGR8...... Yes that is the stock color but with about 1/8" of clear on top of it and wetsanded till ya could see all the sweat beeds on your forehead reflecting in the paint

here are a few more pics.....and i'll get some more tomorrow just to prove that the shadows are real .....





aahhh it's dirty.....

Hmm that throttle body looks familiar and whenever I can get my POS computer here at work to connect to aim im gonna bother you about that radiator, looks like ya got the stock one in there, and that would help a LOT with my SLP Twin CAI.

Not to sound all high and mighty or anything, but I think there's almost too many stripe themes going on. Personally, I love the racing stripes and would keep them, but I'd lose the decals along the side. Not the Iroc-Z decals, those are awesome, but just the stripes along the side of the car. Other than that the car is a definite A+++. I love it, great job!!
