Really like the flat black look on the trunk, very unique. Not feeling the fender stripes though, and the car needs way more low. Looks great and clean though!

Fender stripes aren't for everyone, but regardless of the pictures, the flat black is actually really subtle over the whole car, its more of a subtle touch.

My Bday is in April, and it is April so I figured I might as well be the first. IDK whats up with the voting.

I drive it throught Minnesota WINTERS so its pretty pointless to lower it unless I want to start my own SNOW plowing business. We had so much snow this year it was ridiculous over 20inches in one storm. If you had to deal with our potholes you wouldn't lower it either. 2 seasons in MN, winter and Road Construction.

I'm going for an homage to the '69 Camaro SS. Back in the day all of the big block CHEVY SS cars were signified with a flat black strip on the year trunk. SEE PICTURES>

Guarantee it's the same vinyl he used to cover where the fog lamps are, as well as his trunk.

Quality vinyl with a kickass installer would make you SWEAR it was paint.

Congrats on the feature man!

Congrats on the win. Not sure if I like the paint in the fog light area but to each his own. Clean looking car none the less.
