Im gonna have to agree with repzard. I like the flat black, and thats where it stops. Those emblems look too cartoonish and flashy. The whole point of flatblack (Atleast to me) is to look stealthy. The emblems basically being traffic cone orange says the exact opposite. Also, why such a large hood? You dont have any major mods. So I see no point to it really. Also, Im not a fan of the ricer type body kit on your dads car. BUT, as long as you are happy, I guess thats all that matters...

Did you screw the saleen side panels on? I had problems with the double sided tape saleen supplied so I got in touch with a 3m rep who got me some better stuff and it does a much better job at holding the side panels on.

I've seen crap like that when I was in Mexico and in Puerto Rico. I was like, WTF? Actually now that I think of it, the Woodward dream cruise had a bunch of cars like that too. FUGLY and terrible taste.

He guys,
Thanks for the opinions, the hood I purchased was 4IN because I had a Saleen Blower I was going to install, and the I worried about the clearance on the 3IN hood. Second when sitting inside the car it's really not that bad, it maybe appears to be about chest high. The decals are red, and not orange, they only reflect at night, I'm going with a Transformers theme for the car, and not military which is why the emblems are flashy. I'm going to fix the Green behind the head lights when I install led strips around the headlights. The kit is a Saleen Kit, and Yes MWALL787 I did screw them in because I too had problems with the 3M tape not sticking. As for the trunk I'm going to clean up all of the jams and paint the underside of the truck when I re-paint the stereo box. Also the interior is my next step, i'm hopefully going to redo the seats with black/red swade interior, and mix/match the red and black to help it pop a little. After that hopefully I'll gets some kind of boost on this baby. Although I might just go with heads/cams/ and NOS. Anyways thanks for reading, and thank you for all of the kind words, and for the not so kind words, but hey when your different not everyone will like it. Some people cant see passed a stock exterior!
God bless guys, and drive safe.

Maybe its just me, but I seem to like a car when it is modified and people think, "hey, that looks like it came from the factory that way." I just dont like gaudy cars driving down the road with stuff on their car saying, "look at me! I think Im fast because my car is different then everyone elses." Your view about how cars should be is just different then mine on how people should modify a car.
