With all the bling/chrome trim on there, I feel like you're missing chromed ZL1 rims.

Looks like very nice work, congrats on the wins.
A little over the top for me, but respect what you have done for YOUR taste. It is your car, enjoy it any way you want.

Wow, there is a ZL1 under all that right? No just kidding. Very detailed in every way. Good job!

Ok, I'm not going to say it was easy getting them set right, but in the end, what a fabulous modification to set "Fire Ant" apart from the mainstream.

Lots of options out there -- there are paint kits and decal kits....the key on the ZL1 is to get a heat gun involved if you go decals -- need to ensure a good fit over the multi-wheel angles on the ZL1. Patience, patience, patience.

Nice car! That reversed hood is pretty bad ass.. I like everything about it except the lambo doors, that's really because i've seen them do more harm then good.. After the shocks break in you have to re-adjust them, also after every few thousand miles..

Nice job!

Did you use our decal kit on the wheels as well?

We did the wheels about a month after the side and trunk graphics. Can't remember where we got that kit from, but don't believe it was from Rider Graphix. But I did get the bowtie graphics on front, rear and wheel centers from you.
