Ok here they are finally.........
I am still cleaning the car up and in the process of putting it back together so some things (like seats) may be missing but you can get the idea of how it looks. Also I am making some full LED tailights/turn signals that I think will be pretty trick like the headlights. They will be done in another week or two.

F.Y.I. The kit is a modified Corksport Border II, the color is Corvette Grand Sport "Admiral Blue", and the hood scoop is a fiberglass one that I added to my stock aluminum vert hood since I could not find a TII scoop close by.
P.S. I have an aluminum bezel and white gauges that light up blue but the camera glare hides it..... kind of a shame they look good together. Also the shift ****'s pattern lights up blue, yeah it's kinda rice (forgive me) but it looks soooo good at night.
P.S.S. if you look closely you can see a ford cup/coin holder below the stereo, they come from several ford models of the mid 90's and are a great fit since they are DIN size (DIN is standard stereo size).

That's a beautiful job!
I do have one thing to add......
I know you said that you aren't finished yet, and you are probably going to take care of it, but there is one thing that I see that is bugging me. It gets neglected on most cars that get repainted, and it detracts from the final look of the car. Please.... remove the wheels and paint the inside of the wheel wells! Either use black paint or Rubberized Rocker Guard (works great). It makes the car look so much more finished, and it hides all the overspray.
Your car looks mint - don't let that tiny detail detract from it's appearance! (Not that I thought you wouldn't do that)

WOW!
After (dont know how I missed it) seeing this thread for the first time, your car looks great.
That color is awesome, I really like that color on all cars. I work at a Chevy dealer with a "Corvette superstore" and theres a LeMans blue on the 04s that is similar and just stunning.
The lights, paint and everything look great. Mad props and Id like to see some more pictures of the whole car

The car looks awesome. I haven't read all of this forum, but my jaw dropped when i saw the last page and the pictures. That's just a t2 hood on right? not a full turbo. Anyway, the lights on the shift **** and dash arent rice, well they could be if they are blinding, but if its subtle, then its cool.
And what model chevy did you get those cup holders from? I need something to fill the empty face below my deck.
