I agree. My dad and I designed the car together and most of the work was done while I was away at school, so I didn't have the opportunity to chime in and get everything exactly how I wanted. So now I'm just trying to make some small changes to find a happy medium without redoing everything.

Here is one final pic

I would love to see it sport titanium center with brushed lip wheels. I think the bumpers would look great the same color as stated the wheel centers.

I just bought the wheels this year and I like them a lot so they are staying for a while. Maybe sometime in the future I'll upgrade to a set of forgelines or something when I can afford it (which will be long time).

I do too. One question though, where and who sells a carbon fiber bumper for 72 Chevelles? I know I can get one custom made, but that will cost gobs of money.

No one sells them to my knowledge. If I decided to do it I was going to just wrap my spare bumper set in a few layers of carbon fiber. Or if I had the extra money and patience I might have considered making a mold and make a real carbon fiber bumper.

IMO, looks fine the way it is. Getting pretty ricey with all the other stuff (just my opinion though).
