| I need to take some other pics of her, but here she is. The cars been de-badged and rocker panels painted to match. I also had Z-06 side vents molded to the body. It has sequential tail lights like the old skool Cougars and Thunderbirds. I want to put 5 spoke deep dish 18's on it in the near future. ...and lower it an inch or two if I could ever figure that part out...

| Looks tight. I like the gloss of the fresh paint. Could I have a closer look at the ZO6 vents? | |

| That's as close as I can crop it before it really distorts. Once all the snow and crap is gone around here, I'll take a better pic for you. The body shop did a nice job of making it look like it's part of the car. I think the lines coming down from the rear side window flow with the curve of the side vent...just my opinion though.

| I like the subtle aggressive tones you've put on it. It's aggressive, but still classy. | |

| Black is the original color, and she's black on black. I don't have any interior pics yet. The vents are cosmetic for now. I wasn't sure if they would even fit the contour of the car when I ordered them. It was just a vision in my head. I need to see what's behind the quarter panel to see if the functional ones will work. They do sell both cosmetic and funtional.

| No special name brand. I found them at the muffler shop. They remind me of the factory tips on the 96 Eldorado I used to have...doesn't sound very exciting, does it. Maybe I should have made something up like Borla or something. hehe

| Normally I am not a big fan about changing the body work on the Riviera, but I think it looks really cool! Would love to see some more close up pictures. It looks great. | |

What computer OS are you using? Can you make a QuickTime movie and then upload it to http://photobucket.com/ Do you have a digital camera that can shoot small snippets of video? | |

A little dirty?!? If mine looked that good dirty I'd never wash or polish it! That is one slick paint job Jack! And the vent looks good too. | |

| Thanks. I like the lights. It was fairly easy to install and haven't had any problems with them. It just gives it a different look. | |

| i must say you've done a wonderful job on everything. I saw the sequential taillights like that on an 05 mustang and i wanted them since. How is it done? | |

| You'll have to enlarge the center hole and change the light socket and bulb (middle only). One inch hole saw cut's it perfectly. Then there is a small box that mounts in the back and is wired to the six tail light bulbs. You also have to change the turn signal relay to a heavy duty one. That's it, very non intrusive. | |
