Default Took Some PIctures Today...

Had to take some pictures for insurance this afternoon. Pictures came out pretty good. Its overcast, but still looks good.

I wonder if this is going to turn into a thread on bashing small blocks with L-88 hoods and fiberglass wings on corvettes.

Looks very nice. That's a great color and I like the fender flares. I take it you've had a few comments about your wing? No matter, it's a good looking Vette. Thanks for sharing.

Now all i need is my big vinyl type R decal of the side. And my exhuast tips are not nearly big enough. Using the standard Honda ratio. 1" exhaust = 6" exhaust tip my car requires a 15" tip for maximum performance. Does Folgers make can's that big?

Looks great ... even if it does have a wing. It is a cool looking
one, and it IS mounted on a rear-wheel drive car.
The hood is commonly used to get intake manifold/carb clearance.
The flares are commonly used to get fatter tires - legally.

It looks really mean from the rear and side.

Only improvements that I could see are to lower the front a couple inches and sidepipes.

I like this ... 300 horses in front .... 2 or three in the background.
