Hey guys, finally back online. Since im currently on wait till my next pay, im broke and bored so i figured i would prep and primer the Aed sideskirts i got from Matt (thanks again perfect shape and price). i threw them on the car, they can use some reshaping, so i know i know there are gaps and whatnot, but they are pretty straight for now. they just complete the look so far, who knows what i will do next but for now im glad i got them.

and also, i did some cleaning, (Mike check this out hehe) i polished the Jap muffler, looks good for now until i swap it for a Flowmaster or something. at least its clean and shines. I touched up some parts, bottom of the back bumper etc. i also polished the heads and tails with Plasti-X (very very good sh!t). so the car is cleaner, touched up more, but now with primer thats brighter and more glossier in some areas hehe :):). so please be easy on me, i KNOW the primer doesnt match ont he sides, but in person it looks good. and again, its for now :)

just a cool Clearance shot (cheated in a driveway lol)

oh and i plan on molding the sides to the car, not the bumpers though. that will solve the only issue i have with the rear of the sides sticking out like that, and going up halfway the fenderwell. make it blend in more nicely :) whoever has experience with that hit me up :):)

Personally I wouldn't blend a body kit to the car if it was only a show car sure but too much can happen to a daily driver then its a pain in the ass to remove from the car without destroying a nice new paint job.

So why in the hell did GM blend that damn door valley into the front fender, but they just cut it off at the quarter. It wouldn't look nearly as bad if it continued and faded out.

honestly i think your car would look about 20 times better without that ricer muffler. i'm glad to hear that your replacing it. other than that, a fine car you have there!

That car looks amazing as-is, it'll be crazy when it's painted. :)

Keep up the good work.

The exhaust tips are the only thing that annoys me about your ride, other than that, it's one of kind! I'd say the center exhaust tips from the SLP Camaros would look better than the ones you got.

Yes Mike, it's so very wrong. :lol::P

Nice looking car as always, what color did you decide on? From what I've heard of them, how is highway driving with Mike's custom exhaust? Keep up with the good work, and it'll look 100000000x better with the side molded and the door dip gone.

thanks guys. some answers:

side channels: yes, im gonna fill them but have to find some4one and some time and money
paint: maybe next year, wont have funds this year, but maybe a blue or somehting
exhaust: im gonna change the muffler itself but keep the rarely seen center exhaust
molding: im only gonna mold the sideskirts, not the front and rear. (well someone else will mold it lol)

and thanks for all the comments. yes im taking care of it, and i got used to the muffler sound. will be better once its changed, but i just turn the music up lol
