Just as a suggestion: Take the two pieces out of the hood and paint those a different color than yellow. Maybe black to match the trim. Mine were black at first (White '97 RS), but I took them out and painted them red to match the theme of the car. Really made it pop!

I was thinking that DDRDiesel, But did you paint the entire piece of the insert?

Not the entire hood "scoop", just the rubber-plastic piece inside it. Check out my project thread to see for yourself

Ah, I think we are on the same idea, the insert, the kinda mesh plastic part, that is exactlywhat I am going to do, lol, Thanks for the reminder though!

No problem. I'd love to see when this thing is finished, I've never seen a yellow 4th gen before. I always imagined they would look really sick, though. And I'm a sucker for the little details that just work their way in. What are your plans after the body work is done? Any performance or suspension mods in mind?

I was also wondering what I would need to do to get my rear end to spin both tires, what's the most reliable way? Also, some simple power adders, but I want some serious suspension, I'm talking everythin I can do to make it drag and track worthy, yet drive it daily.....

Making sure both tires spin is dependent on the type of rear end you have. There's open differential and limited-slip differential. I forget which is which when it comes to the tires spinning, though. Also, some good starter mods would be cold air intake, upgraded spark plugs (more for reliability than performance) and exhaust (headers, pipes, catback, muffler)

Open diff is a one wheel peeler, posi (LSD) is both wheels grabbing.
Do you have an automatic or manual transmission. Having had an automatic 3.4 Camaro in the past, I can tell you that you don't need a posi rear, as it took mine a bit of brake torquing just to break the one tire free. So in addition to posi, the second element you would need to break both rear tires free would be a V8.....or extremely skinny tires.
