I personally love the hood! My only complaints would have been the gas cap (which you took care of) and the rims were a little plain for the car. If you take off the hood let some of us know how much you'll take for it, because I'd love to have it and paint it solid mag red.

Less = more

Great job -- I look forward to seeing your wheel upgrade (I hope NOT chrome). I'm warming up to that hood now that you got rid of the fake GS stripes...

Some people called for "slamming." I think it is the right height now.

I guess they succeeded in achieving the "ricer look". JMO

i think the kit is nice but with the stripes its over done, gas cap has to go and so do the wheels - why spend all that money and put cheap repos on spend the money on CCW or HRE's or Fiskes

I like it but the car needs to be lowered and the wheels need a different offset. They need to have a nice 3in or more dish in the back and like 2in in the front. New wheels on that car would make it look like a whole new car!

I like what you have done to it, althought the original version was not that bad. Not sure I liked the gas cap, but that was not a major issue. After all this was done as a street version of the 2003 Corvette Racing Lemans car. If you have never seen the Lemans race Corvette, Goggle it. The stripes on this were on the race version. Not sure if you want to keep the race version look, I would go with a deep dish wheels. Just maybe a BBS black or dark gray.

Too "ricer" for my tastes, but do what you want -- it's your car. Just don't expect to get any return on the significant investment.

Lowering that car and cleaning it up has made a world of difference. It looks great now. Makes the wheels look better, I was positive you would need to change them.
