Default My Camaro Introduction! Metallic Red

I've been working on getting my car to where it is for a few years now and it's not nowhere near complete. These are just a few exterior pics. I will be taking a lot of pics of all the upgrades i've done. Let me know what you guys think!

Looks nice. You should consider smoking the headlight covers.

Thanks for the consideration. Will think about it, but in California that might bring the wrong type of attention to my car (cops)

Looks cool to me. I'd keep the covers clear but paint the headlight buckets back black so it doesn't have so much of a Geo Storm look. And unless you're dead set on keeping the "salad shooter" you can get the five-star chromes for real cheap and look much better.

"Salad Shooters" are definitely going to be replaced soon as i decide exactly which rims i wanna get. Leaning towards the ruff racing 281 rims.

Looks good! Wheels are a must though, and please black around the headlights like an LT1 car should be.

Looks good! Definatly upgrade the wheels or at least paint them black with the polished lip until funds provide. When I had my LT1 front clip, I had the same grill, painted it black, looked a million times better. Just used Duplicolor black paint from autozone.

Before paint...



After paint...

Thanks. Yeah i'm still working on the "stuff" Lol.. I will take better pics with an actual camera instead of the crappy blackberry camera phone. The paint is metallic but with the overcast we had that day, it didn't show.

I will take better pics when i have better sun and a good wash. I'm out here in the bay as well, and besides these past few days you know what type of shitty weather we've been having lol. My car will probably never be as clean as your car or the cars you detailed, but i'm working on it.

Yeah, your car looks good, just giving you a cheap option you may have not thought of. Anyways good luck with your Camaro. Mine was ROUGH when I first started...

I know all too well about how ROUGH it is. I do ALL work(besides painting) myself. I wish i would've documented everything. I will be posting a few threads about what i've done. What i'm most proud about is what you can't see. I've completely redone my suspension everything down to replacing all the bushings. Did the "LS1 Big Brake Upgrade", completely ripped out my interior and laid sound insulating on EVERYTHING including the roof. This is just to name a few things. But i really appreciate you taking the time to take a look. Stay Tuned!

Yeah the weather yesterday and today was epic, especially after the storms and rain we've been swamped with lately.

Never say never It can be.

The car looks good to me. I especially like the way it sits, nice stance!
