Love it! that color is amazing. and i like the subtle pinstriping as well. the only thing i would've done is paint the black area around the lights the same blue...that black has never looked right to me.

i'm not sure what the rocker panel is, but if its the part below the door, i was wondering the same. it looks a little bent out of shape.

Thank you, umm i decided to keep it black so it would look agresive/ rocket look. But then again thats just me.

Yeah the rocker panel is the thing under the door, the guy that worked on my car was either saying the truth or lying, but he told me he was unable to fix that because the door wasnt going to be able to align well and shut properly

I love that color (what color is it? Is it '99 Corvette Nassau Blue?)!

You really need to paint the C part of the headlight buckets black along with the grill. I don't like the rear drum brake being red, I'd turn that back to black.

ok im not going to say the norm like "it looks good" by looking at a pic on the internetz
2nd that guy that told you the rocker panle cant be fixed and the door wont line up pulled the woll over your eyes and bent ya over and stuck it in with out lube

so no i dont think it looks good, to me its done half assed, and if a tech looked at it im sure we would find flaws, does it look shiney?? sure does but thats about it
