The all new look of everyone's favorite balt

Well, her she is. Feel free to comment. Sorry for the poor quality on some of the photos. Forgot to bring the GF's camera with me to HIN.





























More to come...

These photos were taken by DJblass and BlilBT. I have to give credit where credit is due.





























Here is the initial photoshop images that I created:

I have those same wheels, I cant stand the red inserts, they make the wheels look plastic, the chrome inserts and the carbon fiber ones look the best. the car looks good overall but is screeming for a drop bad!

Yep, that's all.

Agreed on the drop.
Agreed on the red inserts. I actually like the carbon inserts best. They should have made the inserts aluminum.

Here's the detail in the pinstriping if anyone is interested to see. I'm a big fan of the jagged striping he did. You will also notice the insert that I painted. This was the first one of my trial.

i think its nice looking...i think a set of black headlights and removing the vinyl between the side windows would do wonders for it though,, oh and paint the bowtie in the front as well and it would improve the overall looks of the car

Vinyl is mandatory. Sponsorship. Painting the headlights is definitely next on the list though. I want a set of the aftermarket projector headlamps, but I have yet to see a set that I like.

What image are you looking at that you have a good visual of the b pillar? Are you saying that I should remove the plastic panels around the top seatbelt mount?

I actually think your car looks pretty bad ass. It is definitely different, but I like how you did the different color spokes to match the paint. I think when you finish with it it will be extremely sexy. Good work!

Yes, yes they are. I love the fact that I can swap them out and paint them any color I choose.

See, I knew there was someone on here that would understand the reason for this setup. Thanks for the comment.

I bet if you went to a machine shop they could make you polished aluminum for shows (not sure how the weight would effect driveability or be safe)

Yeah bro, you missed one hell of a show. I won't go into detail because then you will be even more upset, but DJ's pics in his thread pretty much explain how the show went down. The only downside to the entire show was the trophy process. For our class, the gave out 1 trophy. That's right, only one. Hottest GM went to someone else. I was hoping they had 2nd and even 3rd place, but guess not. Oh well, sweet show overall.

I actually already started thinking on the same idea as you. I figured the investment would be pretty hefty though. I am definitely going to look into it though.

NOPI seems to be more of a balanced show as far as car companies and classes. Only downside to that show was the judging. They really gave me a bad impression of their grading system.
