Nice ride!!!! I personally wouldn't have put a wing on my car but that actually looks pretty sweet! I like the stock hood better than the hood in the bottom pic. Is that the turbo daytona style hood? Or whatever its called.

I don't want to bust up your thread like it seems happened before, but I am curious to know what you like about the 2 spoiler look? I've never understood why somebody would do that. If you want to go with something different, it can atleast be as a replacement to the factory piece. With 2 spoilers on there, it's hard not to see it as being a cheaply tacked on ornament.

the hood and spoiler are hideous... well mostly the spoiler but the hood is a bad design that should have stayed in the 80's. however you did ask for opinions so don't get to upset.

the color change and other subtle things that i noticed such as the interior look good though.

mainly because the stock wing(if u can call it that) is designed so well it dosent look like a wing at all TO ME so thats why i added it they call that wing the whale tail and i think its amazing, different strokes for different folks ya know,, and the hood is more then just looks it was purchased in advance for the stealh ram intake and new motor thats going in next year,, there probably will be a tiny bit of clearance issues that i dont wanna risk and that hood was closest to stock thats why i like it

I really like the color choice and how you went from gold accent to the grey. Much better. I like how you didn't keep the door moulding. I like the hood. I think it's called the TURBO IROC. It uses the factory hood louvers right? Let's see some pics from the front and rear.

Looks like you did the interior in white. You really made it look new. I can't wait to re-do my interior, paint and wheels.

Tell me about the wheels. Are they new or refurbished? I'm looking to replace mine with the painted stock wheels.

When I repaint my car I'm going the get the extended factory looking 3 piece rear spoiler. It looks just like the stock one but it's 2 1/2" longer or should I say taller. I like to keep the car looking as stock as possible. Your car looks great.

EDIT: The factory extended rear spoiler is 4" long vs. the factory 1.5". I found it here for $229

Here is a not so good pic of it

thanks for your comment , yeah the gold decals where just so takey that i decided to go with the clean looking silver decals,, and i felt that the paint was faded or kinda yellowed so i had them paint the brightest white they could find,, (which actually turned out to ford svo performance white haha FIGURES )* now they rims i stripped down with* autozone paint stripper and just went to town on the rims( 3 months of polishing)* but thats what frigid winters are for, also its an all black interior but the seats are arctic white with black inserts* i figured id do some throw back while i was in there* just like the 69,s and 70,s z28 had the white seats on black interior..* i am also going to post more pictures for you guys

?Identical twins??

Now that in itself is incredible. ...and memorable! Take them to a car show and park side by side. You do have my favorite choice of color for an IROC package, by the way.
