Nice job on the build Steve,

I think we spoke once or twice, I had mentioned we were completing our video install, a bit late for your build, hopefully it will help others.

Can't wait to see the final result !

I'll have to say I really love the way she turned out. The ACS Composite was a great option. I've heard it said before that "...If you don't turn around and look as you walk away, you're driving the wrong car." No problem there!

That looks great, I love the look of the clean stingray front fenders with the wider rear flares. You definitely got your money's worth.

My shop had to do some tweaking of the new panels and my door to get the gaps to match up. I learned during that time that it isn't very uncommon for some of the gaps to be a little excessive coming out of Bowling Green. Mine only became apparent because we were focusing on them.

If you’re asking if the scoops are made by ACS?, then yes. They are designed to match up with the width of the GM quarter panels.

Looks good! More traction is always a good thing. Gotten a chance to see if it sticks better?
