Waiting to get some professional photos done by a buddy of mine, so have this:

Just got my powdercoated wheels, led tails, painted dash, tower brace, and valvecover done in the last month or so....










Next up is to get coilovers, an RK Sport Front Lip, and some kind of rear lip

Interior looks good, but I wouldn't have put on the side skirts until I had the rest of the kit (and had it painted). Your car looks awkward right now.

See, my ex roommate kinda slid the passanger side of my car into a parking curb the other winter and knocked in the panel under the passanger door. I put the skirts on already because i am tired of the constant "Whys that smashed in?" question at meets all the time.

I can appreciate the effort you put into your car....it's obvious..........but it's hideous IMO.
Tall ass tires
Stock height always looks retarded with all black wheels
Side skirt w/out front or rear lips to match(also wrong color)
Muscle car shift knob
All that custom painted pieces and yet still a gold chevy emblem

I DO like your engine bay for the most part though.

See original post. Next up is coilovers to lower it. I dont have a fulltime job, so parts for this car only come around when its affordable to do so. I'm saving up for coilovers to lower it next, as well as the rest of my lip kit. And i want a flat black lip kit to match my rear spoiler and my hood. When I take the bumper off some weekend to repaint the grill (cause its fading) I am going to take the emblem off and do something with it. I just haven't had the time or shop space to take the nose off lately.

And yea, its riding 205/55/r16s. Have you ever been to PA man? The roads here suck, and i don't like being shook to death.

By the end of the year I'm hoping to have the rest of the lip kit and coilovers on it, but again, it all depends on the side work I do being profitable.

Dont take this wrong but don't piece a car together like that. You're leaving yourself open to ricer comments as it looks REALLY REALLY bad like that. Get all 3 pieces.....and get em all done at once. Would you paint half your car if that's all the money you had at the time......then do the rest later?

I can see piecing together something like a stereo system...... get the head unit.....then later new components.....then later the subs. DONE

DONT do this with exterior cosmetic mods. IMO

Yeah, I mean, it's not going to look like he's trying to match his hood/trunk or whatever. It's going to look like he had the money for the kit and then no money to paint it.

Paint it please.

Uhm. Im trying to get the front lip. And, once again, the skirts are painted flat black just like my wing and hood. If i had your bankroll the car qould be done, but my build is being financed off of a part time side job.

So the back and front lip and the side skirts are all going to be painted flat black? I don't care if they are going to match your wing and hood, I just don't see it looking good.

Most kits when you recieve them are black, so all it's going to look like to me is you put the kit on the car and didn't have the money to paint it.
