Default PICS!!!! My car back from repaint!!!!

Finally, after about 6 weeks and $7800, I brought her home today!!!!! I did the widebody last year, but wasn't happy with the original shops paint job, so I decided to add an MCM hood and Caravaggio front bumper and have the whole thing repainted. Its a black metallic paint color from Chrysler, the same one they use on the 300s and Magnums.

Also had
5 coats of clear and wetsanded
Windows Tinted
All lights smoked, except headlights
Caravaggio bumper main inlet enlarged for more airflow
Front mounted camera
Smoked rear emblem too, but changing back to stock. It was better in theory
Plus they fixed everything install wise that the last shop didn't

Also,
I powdercoated the wheel centers to match, and powdercoated the lips CRM, the same as my calipers.



This kind of shows the metallic:

Default Looks good...but..

The nose doesn't look right. Without the Corvette Emblem or the nostril, it looks odd to me.

Other than that, I think it looks great.

Nice work..

thanks all!
Front camera for a few reasons,
1, to be different and because I had it laying around
2, because when I had the Z06 front, the chin spoiler didn't last a week, and I can see when I'm parking
3, to integrate it into a camcorder for racetrack and mountain runs.
