ooo, everyones looks good. i got the vette FRCs for 90 bucks, then the vinyl inlays were 10 from Franker, and i put the vette logo from part of the FRC that i cut off on the TB cover dealy, that used to be on my camaro. also, painted intake manifold with a brush, hehe, and alternator with aluminum paint. o and all the !wire mod and !hood latch ****. i wish i had a pic of the back side of the radiator support. it was caked with crap and grime, now it looks like the outside of the car. anyways, thanks for comments, everyons looks great.

Matt- looks good with the !wire mod. I am in the process of doing that to my car as well. I'm ignorant with the !latch mod.. got pics of that? Also- any problems with oil leakin with the OVC wires? I was going to go that route but heard from quite a few people that there is a problem with oil leaking out the top..
