You're not the first to think she's overdone. It's fine, you're entitled to your opionion and I do appreciate you're honesty. To answer your question - cops. They suck here. Like I mentioned, I don't have any white in my tail-lights anymore. I copied Whistler and reded out my tails compleatly and the popo didn't like that I had no reverse lights. So It was either shell out the money for new tails or try to be unique (and less expensive). Again, I might black out the reverse lights too just to blend.Originally posted by DETROITMUSCLE View PostI like the overall theme of the car but its 1000X overdone IMO. The side stripes have to go and seem unecessary with the stripes on top, the side vents are not appealing, and those reverse lamps just plain have to go. Why couldn't you use the LT1 style lamps and nightshade the reverse lamp to it blends with the berger?sigpic

I think the vents will look sick when you get them molded in. However, I think the Z28 emblems right below it are a little overkill, I would have done one or the other (emblems or vents).

The lights aren't straight, i looked at them this morning and noticed that they have tweeked the mounting bracket... I guess pulling the car cover on and off a million times takes it's toll. I am going to rethink them after the responces here. I'll make it look better one way or another - I pomise.Originally posted by Lucky SOB View Postdefinitely a cool car man!
my only griefs are the vents, they are kinda cheesy but i think they will look good when molded in. also the reverse lights. idk whats wrong but they dont look straight or something. and have you thought about a vinyl sticker for "cowl induction", im not really diggin the badges.
Never had a complant about the cowl industion emblems till now. I like them. Loved the look on the old 70s Chevelles and I love them on Epic. Would seem lame to do just that as a decal when every other badge on the car is a genuine metal emblem.sigpic

Well the Z28 emblems were there before the vents and since I actually mounted them (drilled holes and studs - no 3M adhesive) they kinda have to stay for now. When I get the vents molded in I'll concider moving the emblems too. It does look a little cluttered the way it is now doesn't it?Originally posted by Casey View PostI think the vents will look sick when you get them molded in.

Heres my $.02. Like others have stated, it is overkill. The paint scheme and stripes look awesome. The wheels look great. The spoiler/bodykit is where it's over-done, the side vent's too. Are the hood pins necessary? You do have a hood latch right? As for the reverse lights, grab some LS1 stockers, tape off the reverse light's and spray them black. Get rid of those reverse lights. The old school badges look good, but you have too many. The Z/28 on the berger can be removed, as well as the one's on the hood.
I'd do what they mentioned on here which is get some vinyl's to replace the one's on the hood.
Last but not least, lower it. It looks like it needs an ORV sticker. After the day is over, it is your car, and you should be happy with what you've done, and make the car they way you like it.Joe - ATM SQUADAt the shop, watching them build my car.

I've always seen it like this, the hood has to ballance out the spoiler, with a 4" cowl a bigger spoiler was needed. If it was an SS hood, an SS spoiler or RS spoiler would work you know? I wanted this hood and the spoiler was to compliment it (much as I figured the Dick Harrell car was designed). As far as the side vents go i wanted to try a unique touch and I think once I get them molded in it'll ballance out better.Originally posted by PWND3r View PostHeres my $.02.

The hood pics are actually necissary, the latch doesn't catch right after the accident in 2004. Makes the hood sit better.
As far as the lights, again, I was trying to get away from having to buy new tails altogether. If I need to then I will but I'm trying to get around that. BTW - I hate amber turn signals.
Never figure the emblems to be an issue of contention before. Other than the fenders looking to cluttered with the vents I don't think any of the others look bad at all.
As far as lowering it - believe me, I'd like to. But keep in mind this ***** is a daily driver and unless I toss the ground effects and side exiting exhaust (which ain't going to happen) I need to keep a stock height in order to keep from ripping the shit off the car from drivways and speed bumps.
Yah it's my car and I am happy with what I've done, however I do like others opinions as well and wether others do or don't like it, I do like that you're at least not saying "what the hell was that guy thinking?"sigpic
