Default Opinions wanted on my cars looks *pics*

I bought the car brand new....with 4 miles on it, back in 98. Everything you see here was my "fault" since I am the original and only owner.

So go ahead and critique my ride and make some suggestions!





Thanks!

Manny

Match the rearviews color to the rest of the body. I was never a fan of the black, and it looks the worst with red... Didn't they change that in 2000 or something? Black would look good as a fill in on the camaro lettering.. Don't do the berger mod, just bring out the type on there... otherwise looks great...

The rearviews being black is the one thing I never considered changing...I think it looks good in black and like it better than color matched.

car looks very good man, I like it the way it is. If you had the money I would suggest some different wheels just to make it stand out a bit more, the black panel painted black would also look very nice. It looks nice man, keep it up.

First off, nice car!
As for suggestions, if it were my car I would:
Berger panel (gloss black)
Chrome Camaro inserts
Shaved rear Z28 emblems
SS rear wing
Black out front turn signals
LT1 style tail lights

Do the Berger panel mod. Also lose the Halo lights and go back to stock lights painted charcoal on the insides. You could also consider the Mecham Performance rear spoiler, its kinda like the SS spoiler but without the posts and it flips up a little better. Now changing the wheels is always an option, but involves too much thought right now. Overall, the car looks good right now but you always have room to grow and change.

Quite nice. I'm assuming most of it is still stock.
I actually perfer that grill you got on, but one idea, see if you can replace the bowtie with a Z28 emblem. OH YEAH! Just my thoughts...

Hehe, the halos I won't get rid off, I just put them on 2 days ago.

Rear spoiler, I was considering the LT1 style. Don't really want to do the berger panel and the painted hood scoop, in my eyes it makes the car look too busy.

Wheels, I like these still. Sometimes I wish I had a wheel with some lip and maybe some 18s, maybe later down the road.

Car mostly stock? Depends on what you mean by that....I mean, looking at my sig, my mod list is incomplete due to signature length limitations.

Appreciate the comments on suggestions so far, keep them coming!

Car looks great man, clean and simple. The one thing I would do is change the factory z28 emblems and go with some 69 z28 emblems.

Paint the rear panel black or add black Camaro decals.

Clear front side markers

Different front grille

Put a decal on the SS hood or stripes on the whole car.

Add armor-all to the tires

But really the car looks good.

I think it looks awesome the way it is... halos look great in there too. the LT1 SS spoilers look kinda flimsy to me, id def. go w/ an LS1 spoiler. You could go several different ways w/ your car.

A. change the spoiler to an LS1 SS spoiler, black in the letters in the back, call it a day.

B. put black accents all around. The hood scoop, everywhere.... throw on some black rims and itd look mean as hell.

Personally, all id do is just change the spoiler and thats it. Mirrors, halos, tips, everything else on it looks VERY nice.

Looks Good
Matching the mirrors is a pretty good call.
