if I've still got photoshop on my desktop I'll give an attempt to mod the "after" pic of your car to be more in the what I was thinking line later tonight.
I still like chrome. And I don't like blacking out a car unless it's black. There is just too many blacked out cars driving around here. And sadly I don't have any pictures. It's similar to the silver that was on the other stripes. And you can if you like, I'm open to ideas.

Yeah there are a lot of those kind of tail lights I've noticed. And please do post, all ideas welcome.

I suck at it too, I've barely used it and only a few tries before, this was the most advanced things i've done with it. hardest thing was cut and pasting then resizing the wheels.

Oh ****, I didn't realize you changed the wheels too. Haha sorry I use my phone when I'm on the forum. And thumbnails are like really small haha. But I zoomed in and it looks real nice. I thought about solid spoke wheels. But those look really nice. Damn I keep changing my mind. Haha, idk whether I want chrome wheels, aluminum wheels, or gun metal grey.

I would say no chrome or polished wheels, stick to the silver, grey, gunmetal shades and get the stripe in the same color as the wheels. something else you can do is use masking tape to layout the stripe and spray on a temporary stripe using Plasti-dip (they have a grey one) and see if you like the look before you fork out the cash for a full on vinyl piece. this way you can try a few different stripe designs.

I just never liked gun metal grey that much. Only a few cars pull it off for me. I think the 4th gen camaros look great with chrome. I could see grey wheels on a white camaro though. Blue seems sorta odd. Anyone on the forums with a metallic blue car with gun metal grey? And I'll give that a try, I'll research on how to do it.

I like them as well. I'm getting something similar to them. And I'm having a hard time choosing what finish of wheels to go with as well as stripes.

With the blue i like the black finish or chrome could give it a clean look also depending on what your other exterior mods are going to be.

I like the chrome look. And I'm still going with a simple pin stripe. Wing is off just needs a new paint job. So as for exterior mods, not much else than wheels and tail lights. I found some cool led tail lights that to me didn't seem ricey. And I'm still looking for wheels. 18inch 5 spoke wheels to be exact.

I did think about blacking the car out. But idk. It's been done a lot around here. It's a hard choice. I think adding color and chrome will stick out in the crowd. But I'm open to opinions.
