Camaroguy18- Put the 18 or 20 inch IROC replicas, with the same paint scheme, and call it a day. That car is tight. I even approve of that hood

that'd be so awesome to do!, the ice really makes the color stand out...Im always tempted to pull the car out in the driveway after a nice snowfall, but it's in pieces again

TopleZZ candy : got any progress pics? I'd love to see em

sorry the quality isnt the greatest. It was painted before i got it, prolly about 5-7 years ago if i had to guess. Still looks pretty good. Some sort of metallic blue.
