Before and after mods

A friend, who comveniently paints cars for a living, and I decided to do something with all these parts I have been accumulating in my garage. The first pic is the day I brought the car home. The other pics are from our little weekend project. We installed a CDC classic chin, a gt500 rear valance and spoiler then rounded it all out with a couple of nice 11 inch dark blue stripes. We didn't get around to installing the gt350 side stripes. There is always next weekend. The pics dont do the car justice, he did a great job on the paint and buffing. Heres some pics.

Thanks Alloy, we took about 70 or so pics throughout this weekend, so sure, here are a few more. A few when it was all taped up and another one of the end result. I will take some more finished pics once the side stripe is on.

Scott, I was tinkering with the idea of painting the mirrors but I decided against it because I thought with a white car the white mirrors would be even more pronounced then they already are.
Tim- The blue is just a navy blue mixed up to match the BSM side stripes also in navy blue, sadly I didn't have time to install them. The painted stripes are 11 with a 1 1/2 inch gap.
