Default claybar/polish/wax, finished wheels, sonar headlights(chrome piece painted black)

Havent posted in a while, took a clay bar to her, polished and waxed the other day(hands hurt lol) finally got some black lugnuts and little orange bowtie decals for center caps, installed my sonar projectors after me and a buddy cracked these suckers open and painted then inner chrome piece(what a nightmare getting these open)

I was on my army post and there was this decal vendor in a trailer outside AAFES PX, so I asked him to come look at my center caps and make me some small bowties to fit. I think he gave me 4 for $10.00

Looks good but I hate the fact that no matter how much you detail a AW car, it's still hard to see the effort one put into it because of the color and the lighting. Looks good none the less though.

LOL! I know right, I was thinking the same thing after 5 hours of hell...have to get that perfect angle to see the reflection, like first pic. But white is clean and classic!

I think your car looks perfect the way it is now. I actually like the rs gfx kits on the camaros...with the addition of maybe a freedom spoiler.
Good job!!!
