Ok, so i have a 2002 metallic org z28. a buddy of mine recently bought the same exact car. his has a billet grille, mine doesnt. both cars have full suspension and full exhaust. im not sure whether or not i should go with black powdercoated wheels and bowtie grille or chrome wheels and billet grille. i like the chrome. but i wanna know which would look better. let me know wut you think.

I think the gunmetal wheels look HOT on SOM. I will be trying it soon I think. Black might be too dark. Just MHO.

i think polished rims look very nice on SOM, then maybe a black powedrcoated billet grille and whistler headlights and smoked corners...

Fiske FM5's are always a safe bet

IMO, an orange car with black rims doesn't cut it. There's one that I see around town and it looks like hell. Go with some polished wheels, but I'd paint the black grill SOM, or make it look like "abadss's" grill, but SOM

Black w/ SOM = Especially if you've got a black top and some tinted windows. That'd be the combo I'd run in a heartbeat.

This isnt quite black, but you get the idea. (Speed Inc' SS back when it was blown)


I like polished too, but black just seems to offset better to my eye for the Camaro.

With what you've got, I'd say get a black (or gunmetal) grill- that would be sweet. And if you go w/ the dark wheels, leave a chrome/silver lip for accent.

I really wish there'd been some orange cars on the market when I went shopping for my LS1 last year.

Depends on your budget as to what wheels to recommend.
