Looks like you lost one of your plastic lug nut caps also. I have one rim that always has one or two disappear on me. I need to go buy some more again.

LOVE those flames. I've wanted something like that on my car, but more like blue ghost flames.

And oh yeah, congrats on the fast LSx, esp. for a DD.

At first I thought someone stole them. But I don't leave my cars out of my sight for very long so that wasn't possible.

I like the black. I guess I could paint those, and repaint them every time I put a socket on them. Lol

Thanks. We did just the outlines the red is still the preexisting red. The thing I liked the most about the flames. Are that the fit the lines and do Not look out of place on the car, and there not overdone. There pretty much almost nice day only cars. I will admit I have been caught in the rain in both cars before.
If you need better pics to copy the design from just let me know. I can get better ones. Those in a blue on your black car would look really good.

thanks, but the paint is not perfect from getting painted (its significantly darker than the rest of the car, look at the passenger side headlight cover to the hood and you can see what i mean). however, its better than what it looked like when i bought the car...

:happy:

How'd you match the paint? Factory color? I send my headlight door in to get matched and it turned out almost perfect.

SSwt00SS

gave them the paint code off the RPO sticker. they had to use BASF water-based equivilent, since this country is turning into environmental babies and laqueor based paints are heavily regulated, blah, blah, blah, etc.

my guess is this was the closest they could come up with. again, not perfect, and still need to do the headlight covers. not sure i want to attempt to blend because blending metallic paint is a PITA...

Gotcha. Either way car looks 10 times better.
