That is a hell of a transformation. Can't hardly believe its the same car.

Looking good.

The chin spoiler and side gfx are from Skyler's blue car. The rear bumper cover is from my old '91 RS. Wink

Thought about blacking out the headlight buckets? I think I would if I had a camaro. Looks mean that way.

And I don't agree.. I dont think black headlights would look right with the silver.

With tinted windows and paint the silver on the wheels black. Not the polish but the paint portion.. Even picturewise once the foglight grille is in it'll add the black needed for the buckets.

Buckets look better black.

Got the hood louvers and fog light grill needing to be repainted. I am going to paint the headlight pockets as well. I got new front signal lens on the way. I need a new set of IROC center caps and some badges too.

I am a strong proponent of blacked out buckets in general, but on that car I would hold off until the louvers, foglights, badges and whatnot have been installed and the proper wheels are on the car.

Looks good John!

With louvers I think black buckets look alright, on the right car, they can look really good (Paul's old White IROC for example).

With a flat hood, or 91-92 Blisters, body color all the way, keep it simple.

I could not agree more, Paul's car looked great with those, but on most cars not white you need to keep the buckets body color.

The reason your car looks good is because it's not busy. A smooth look is a good thing. Same reason why Firebird will always look better then Trans Am. Wink

Leave the graphics off. Leave the buckets silver. Just put the inserts back in the bumper, tint the windows, and get some shiny wheels and it will be scorching hot.

Exactly.. that silver makes it so smooooth and clean right now.

Everyone's got an opinion. Its your car John. Do what you think looks good. You know that though.

Twilightoptics · Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 5:52 pm Post subject:

I agree with Dewey actually. I always forget about the plain hood.

RSFreak · Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2014 10:43 pm Post subject:

I really like the blacked out headlight bucket look, so I will probably do it, but we'll see. Wink

The flat black plastic shroud surrounding the fog lights is set off by black headlight buckets. If your going black go gloss black. IMHO the black headlight buckets and fog light surrounds make the car look lower and meaner. The flat black just looks dull and aged compared to gloss. If everything is gloss silver it would look great.

Looks hot john! Congrats bro. And I am a huge +1 to blacked out headlight buckets. But that's just me.
