Looks Good! You hate the appearance of your car?? I think your car looks good...after you lower it and put on a black billet grill it will be badass...I need to lower mine as well, you could fit a damn honda in the rear wheel well!

A black grill will go great with the other black accents. If you take off the black z06s the black manta stripe might look a little out of place...a black grill would complete the theme you already have going. right??

OK heres my opinion, and I'm very opinionated. I like IT! Thats the best looking stripe I've ever seen on an fbody SS Camaro. Those hockey sticks are ugly IMO but your manta looks bad ***. I can see a few alterations to make it even wickeder but I like it just the way it is as well.
I agree the black grill is a must.
As far as your car, it looks decent. You need to stick with black wheels now that you have the black manta and maybe the ZR1's will make you happy. I've never been a fan of black wheels anyway but thats me. I like chrome and polished.
Honestly I think you've got a sharp looking SS there, that pewter color is real nice.

Thanks for the opinions, and i agree about keeping black wheels...i just no longer care for the looks of the z06's, i think it will look alot cleaner with 5 spoke zr1's, alot more simplistic. The only thing with the manta is i wish it was a tad bit wider, but that's ok with me how it sits. And i had a local graphics shop fab up that stripe to the guy that asked.

The tt2's arent black they are gunmetal matallic grey and you cant buy them with the painted spokes. You have that done. But its well worth it. I would check out www.tomzwheels.com for pricing. He has the best deals i have ever seen on polished tt2's.

First of all your car looks great! I think those manta stripes are the best. I'm shopping for a black SS and a red manta stripe is going to be the first thing I do. When I first saw the pics of your car the one thing that stuck out the most was getting a new grill. (apparently thats what most think) Either black or billet. Black would look great with the black wheels, but some Chrome TTIIs would look good with a billet grill. But on the whole, your car looks steller. Those pewter SS are really groing on me. NICE RIDE!

The more i look at these pictures, the more i'm leaning towards getting pricing on having my mirrors painted pewter to match the car. I have honestly never even realized how much better it looks. do you think the gunmetal color would look good or the black TTII's? I think i just ruled out the chrome though, my car is dark pewter metallic and that one doesn't look like it has as much black coloring in it. So i think i need to stick to dark/black rims.
