Glad I could help my brother! Might give this a run on the rocker...

Yeah some people have mentioned the rocker stripes already, the fading would be a nice touch though! I personally think it would look great with a fading rocker!

I love your car Wade, one of the best looking ones on here.

I wouldn't put rocker stripes on it, but have custom badges made instead. BilletBadges can make them for you.

I've been playing, and I think the 3rd image in this thread is the one I'm going to go with...

Definitely the grille, and possibly the dash and fenders.

Thanks Z! And hopefully soon I'll have a ride that will back up the good looks I put into it haha.

I'm still looking at that rocker, trying to truly decide if I want to go this route. Still doing a little bit of saving as I've got a couple other areas in my life that I need to put a little money into.

No problem man. Good luck with whatever you pick. I think the badges aren't a bad idea either actually but it's a very minimum thing that doesn't make enough of a change in my opinion.

OH oh oh! You could do side scoops? That would break up the side a little too. You could even do one the color of your stripes. Lol.

Haha ehhhh I'm not big on not matching the factory paint. I don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb, just add depth. But at $219 pre-painted for CS style, that's still out of my price range.

However, that billetbadge.com that jsimmons recommended seems pretty legit. And being my senior year of engineering, I know how to work SolidWorks and ProE/Wildfire 5.0 so I think I might just be able to get these things cheaper since all they should have to do is throw in the file to their machine and paint/polish! Still, the stripes are still catching my eye. However, my only concern is matching the top stripes... I have code TL silver stripes up top and if the side stripes are too far off, it would look... well... off haha
