Well they are painted, Cant seem to get a great pic of the color sparkling like I did before. Sun is just not cooperating. What do you think?

Default looks great

Man , that looks great. You may try adjusting the light exposure on your camera ? Look for a good location with NO SHADE and when the sun
is behind you.

Thanks all, I just wish I could capture a pic like I did the other day. My next mod is replacing the silver pinstripes. They are not very good, just getting old and cracky looking, hardly any silver left. May do that this afternoon. Like to save up and get some of those depo headlights. Then maybe getting it to rumble a bit more. Who knows after that. There are so many nice cars on here with great mods and ideas floating around. If I had a fortune, It may never end. I have to put the rally stripe kit on my moms soon and may think about that. My wife didnt want the bottom painted, she preferred me to black it out. I like the blackout look too but just wanted to make it pop a little.

Hi `Jerry,
I hope that one of our expert PhotoShop member's
can create a good `sig 4 U.
Yes, your pictures do not capture the `beauty like it should
I'm not a camera `guy, so I don't know how to advise
I also am self taught on the `puter & with my old
photo program...
I tried, but I don't like how it came out either.
I couldn't type on your pic & had to do a transfer
from the first that I did this morning.
Hopefully, you will take more pic's, or one of
our experts can do wonders with their talents.


It's a Out of this World `Space Wax `Job

Chevy actually considered the blacked out details as a lower level vehicle.

Before I paid any monies out I tested an '06 3LT Monte. This car had the 3.5 versus 3.9 engine. Cloth seats. And the rocker covers were black.

When I decided to buy the LTZ, I made a comment I liked the black covers on the 3LT. And thought about having the silver covers on the LTZ painted black. The sales lady quickly corrected me. She said if I decided to sell the LTZ that I may find out I hurt the value of the car. Cause any sales person who knew their stuff would know the black equaled a lower level car.
