Honestly I think it's too black. The chrome is needed around the grilles to blend better with the black/polished lip wheels (as a start).
The chrome exhaust tip is good, but I'd loose the tint too. (many race sanctioning bodies do not allow it anyway).
Black can be cool, but I think it's over done. Maybe two-tone the car with an arctic silver upper half separated by a nice red pinstripe, then add the red/black sport interior.
THAT would be hot... | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:39 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 |

If you already have eyelids put them on and see how they look. If you like it leave it and if not you can always take them off. Car looks great. | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:52 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
I like the grills. Did you paint them or buy a kit? | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:53 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 |
I love those reiger sides! If it was me I would roll the fenders and lower it a bit more though. I am undecided on the rear too. Keep up the good work. | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:59 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |
thanks guys!!! i feel like i worked hard and i love the way see looks. i've tried the eyelids and they look mean!! i just don't know if it will be to much.
Jim, thanks for your insight. the tint will stay, i still have the hatch window and the two door windows to do (i'm not worried about the race sanctions, i dont race...maybe one day...lol). the chrome tip is a stromong, and i love the sound and look.
are there tighter muffler hangers out there? i want the exhaust to come up some, so its closer to the valence.
panzer, the grills were bought on ebay __________________ | | | | | 03-09-2006, 12:09 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |
Looks nice. Makes me want to get my 18s back on (had a blowout a couple weeks ago). As for the eyelids, I think they would look great. Your car already looks really aggressive, and the eyelids would make it look even better.
EDIT: oh yeah, and the height you've got it at is perfect IMO. | | | | | 03-09-2006, 12:09 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |

Ohh man!!! Your car is looking hot!!! I would put on the eyelids and bring back the chrome grills. Aside from that, your car is on point. I'm definetly feeling the bumpers and sideskirts. I guess I have some catching up to do.......keep it up papa. __________________
