Default Work in Progress.....PICS

I have been working on getting my car painted for a while now since someone hit my door last year but everytime I am ready to paint it, I find something else I want to do to the car. The first thing I purchased was a TigerShark nose......I really like it now that I can see the intercooler

Then I saw the ACP rear bumper and had to have it.....

Finally the Carbon Fiber MCM Hood......


The last thing I was debating to do was the L5 motorsports Z06 rear fenders which I am still up in the air with that idea.

The only thing stopping me from getting the wider fenders would be having to buy new rims/tires. I love the pics of the fenders but never seen them in person.

Thanks for all the support......car should be painted within the month then I will post the after pics.

Hard to tell. Can you post some bigger pictures?

Just kidding, the pics are huge and a PITA, but the car should look great when painted.

I am not too sure about that Tiger Shark front end.
I think maybe put it on my car, then see if you really like it.

If I do the fenders, I was thinking about competition grey 07 Z06 rims instead of chrome......

I love the front and the hood, the rear looks a little strange to me...

I almost looks upside down to me, or actually to top heavy.

Cant say I'm a fan of the rear bumper in the slightest, but the rest looks good.
