I like the top 2, mainly the top right. But the top left might have a more classic look to it.

upper right just makes the car look that much better, there is just something about black wheels on cool color cars. :woot:

[chopshop]

TimActually its my customer's car-wish it was mine!

[class67]

Gotta go with the black wheels! :thumbsup:

[G-Body]

The 1st one :thumbsup:
Really not feeling this black wheel look on some of these rides ecs with the lack of bright work on the cars for contrast a nice Shiny billet wheel really makes the look! ecs on older muscle cars now a newer ride like a CTSV caddy or something like that maybe, should look sweet good luck!

[Alex396ss]

Upper left!

Hey you coming to Laconia this weekend for the RC show?

[chopshop]

Looks great Lenny! Cool color choice too!:thumbsup:

I was so thrilled - the owner of the car won FIRST PLACE in his class this past weekend at the East Coast Camaro show in Nashua NH. He was so happy when he went to pick up his trophy. All smiles...:thumbsup:

Drove the car there AND home- dirt and all.:cheers:

[bigtyme1]

can I ask where you mounted your ECM?

[chopshop]

can I ask where you mounted your ECM?

well- the client wanted to do some of that type of stuff himself, so its been placed under the front fender :_paranoid

but I usually place the ECM moving it to a kick panel (which I want to do with this one)
or running a radial delete plate and mounting it behind that. :yes:

[tony byram]

Congrats on the First place! I can see why, beautiful car. Great stance,beautful color, very tastefully done. Great job!:thumbsup:
