i have eibach sportlines, but i wouldnt recommend them. do some research here in the suspension section. there is alot to choose from now with spring/shock combos. you will want something to give you a 1"-1.5" drop and keep a decent ride. but my suggestion wouldnt be go as low as the sportlines, they dont allow enough suspension travel. mine were already on the car otherwise i would have went with the eibach pro kit or some others with a similar ride height.

How about the hockey stick stripe? A black one would look nice on your car.

a set of custom stripes on that hood could look pretty unique as well, something in black

yeah that is a tough decision. i put a vinyl stripe on my hood to see how i like it. if i decided i dont want it anymore i just rip it off. or if i like it i can always have it painted. you might could get some custom vinyl made....

I'd change the hood immediately. A mild cowl hood or an SS hood would be my only two choices.

Also, go with some Eibach Sportline springs. Sportlines for Camaros, ProKit for Firebirds. Pro Kit's on Camaro's aren't noticeable enough IMO. You won't have any problems because you aren't running any unusually big wheels/tires.

Also, CME. Can't beat the look of center mount exhaust...I almost bought a Camaro just so I could have CME.

Thanks, but I like my hood a lot. It's very unique and it seems to work very well with the Volante Ram air system. I do agree with you guys about the springs though.

i like the hotchkis springs. I think they have the perfect stance for an F-body.
