Default New pics w/ clear front signals and shorty antenna

Not a whole lot new since last time, but since clear front signals alter the appearance of the car so much I felt it was worth posting pics. I opted for the smoked lenses instead of the clear chrome ones, because I wanted the lenses to blend into the streamlined smooth look of the front end. I thought that bright chrome lenses would draw attention away from the grilles and hood and other things that should be the focal points. I also added an 8" shorty antenna. Not a big mod but I think it's cool. I think my next mod will be roush rear lowering springs, followed by duals and a gt500/cali special rear bumper. I may hold off on new wheels for a little while, since I think the bright silver stockers don't look so bad with the orange signals gone. Anyways, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for looking!!









And yes, the car is really dirty. I was home for two days and didn't have time, and there's really no place to wash a car in downtown Atlanta.......

Also notice the big chunk of paint/fiberglass missing on the chin spoiler that happened when a hunk of something flew out of the back of a metro power truck and hit me on the 75/85 downtown connector. The body shop thought I was crazy for not painting it body color, but this was I can simply sand it down, apply a little filler and repaint it one weekend without paying someone to do it for me.

Cervini's 67' ram air hood. It is a really nice and high quality piece.

How much did it cost you to get that hood painted?

looks good but I assume that small antenna is for sat radio? It doesnt need to be on the exterior of the car that looks kinda weird. I have mine back on the rear deck lid under the window.

eh, the sat. radio antenna is fine, it doesn't bother me, plus it's kind of hard to route an antenna back to the decklid on a convertible......

about the hood, I really don't know how much it cost to get painted, because I got it after I hit a deer this summer, and had the whole car painted. I think it might have run like 300-400 dollars for just the hood, but I'm really not sure.
