anything special under the hood?

nothing too special...just a .030 over 289 with approximately 11:1 compression, Crower solid "street" roller cam (.540 lift and 244 @ .05 duration), out-of-the-box Edelbrock RPM heads, Victor jr Intake, Quick Fuel 650 carb, JBA shorty headers, ZEX perimeter plate nitrous system.
 
I think a modified rocker trim would looks good, the lip at the top polished and the bottom painted the same black with the same level of gloss as the wheels, maybe powdercoated instead of painted.

Here's a crude photoshop...

It kinda takes the linear line of the front bumper and the lip of the wheel and just carries that bit down the car, not too garish, sorta understated.

You could put some black electrical tape on an old rocker trim and put it up there to see if you like it or not, drilling the holes for the clips would suck if you don't like it.
