New Plans After Being Hit
This car:
Will be repainted Navy Blue Metallic from the LS1 bodied cars. Usually I'd be too afraid I wouldn't like it as much as the original color, but I decided to make a semi-spontaneous decision and stick with it.
I'm keeping these emblems on the fenders:
as well as the chrome rear fill ins (will get new ones). I'll also be painting the calipers blue (yes you can still see them with the stock wheels, which I will be repainting silver. I also want to freshen up the faded center caps by putting some custom pinstriping around the area that used to have 3 stripes with "Chevrolet" writing. A sort of stretched out circular pinstripe.
I've been prepping the car at my house and will soon be working on it more at school, pics of the progress soon.
What do you think of my plans?

lol, I'm guessing you guys don't like blue?
I will be repairing the damage, I've done a similar repair on the 1/4 of a Crown Victoria, which was actually much worse.
And I was thinking since the car will be that dark blue, my wheels might look better like this:
