Default My Lt1 is almost "DONE" on the exterior!!

Here is my 94 Camaro Z28. I'm almost done with the appearance mods. They are so far:

-50% (sides) and 5% (back) tint
-Berger panel
-97+ Taillights
-Rear Camaro Fillins
-Painted side marker lights (white)
-Lowered rear by removing spring pad
-VHT NiteShades front Turning signals
-Camaro Z28 sticker on front spoiler
-*Newest thing* 16" Zr1 rims powdercoated white

The future mods are:
- Maybe lower 1"
- Tint my 3rd brake light
- paint the front bowtie white
- paint calipers black

Let me know what you guys think!!!

Thanks
CmanZ28

I beg to differ. IMO I think lugnuts aren't something that need to be getting attention.

Feel in those wheel gaps! Also, I would have stuck with the 93-96 tails seeing as how you smoked out your turn signals (making your tail turn signals the only amber on your car). Got any pics from the rear, or interior? Good job on the car!

My entire plan was it get 17" Zr1's and get 315 out back, but I saw these rims on ebay and I couldn't pass them up. I got the 4 wheels and 4 tires (about 50% tread left) for $129. So thats why I stuck with 16x8" Rims........

Thanks for the complements!!!!

I know the wheel gap is pretty big...... I personally didn't really like the look of the older taillights. I still have them if I ever wanted to put them back in.

I will get pictures of the rear and interior tonight and post them.



Also about removing the side moulding.....how many people think my paint has faded enough to see a white line under the moulding where I would take it off????

Thanks

Default Here are some interior and rear pictures.

Here are 2 pictures of the interior, and 1 picture of the rear of the car.


*Driver side seat has been fixed since this picture was taken...the side bolster broke down, but I got a new seat foam and its 100% better*

Your car looks great. But I agree with phantomzer0 about the black lugs... Regardless, great looking car.

Im realy diggin the interior. Its really not my type either but man its looks great. Looks quite "upscale". I think the only way the interior could look better is if you replaced the aluminum pedals or the cars was a Deep DARK blue. Dark tan looks so good with a dark blue exterior.

Im also quite curious about the !sidemolding and the paint fading!

Thanks, my whole purpose for the entire car was to have a clean look to it. I didn't want to go all crazy on any part of the car. I just wanted a very nice clean weekend cruiser. I feel thats what I ended up with! Thanks for the advice for the interior, I think I will just have the pedals powder coated black.

I agree black lugnuts would look better, but I think these look good. Unless anyone wants to trade even up for 24 (4 extra) McGuard Lug nuts for 20 black chrome lugnuts.


Thanks for the complements!!!

Nice job so far...I would agree with putting 17's but I like a 295 width more than a 315. I think the front really needs to be dropped. Like already mentioned, ground clearance looks like it may be a bit of a problem but I think the Koni SA drop would look nice and leave room. I also think a black hockey stripe (i rarely like them) would really compliment your berger panel and four your car I think it would be an awsome application.

also look into deleting that side molding.

It isn't a shadow....the headers hang down that far. They are shorty headers, but they were on the car before I bought it, and I tried adjusting them so they didn't hang that low, but it didn't work. I can't get any of the joints to budge.

I was either thinking about putting hockey stripes or 35th anniv. stripes. Would you go with the full length hockey stripes or the "half" length ones?

Thanks

if you go with the hockey stick stripes, i'd go full length... the half length just don't look right IMO.
