Default My first photos of my Z

Borrowed the parents camera when I went to visit em this weekend. Only got a few shots I liked. I'm not very good a photoshop yet but the first 3 pics are the same pic after some work.


This one is by far my favorite. Got rid of the hose, sidewalk and other stuff in the background to clean it up.







I tinkered with this one on photoshop...isn't that great.

Yeah I'd take it off. I would take mine off, but this one cop in my town bugged me about it all the time. I always told him i had a bracket on backorder but i never came yet. Finally he told me he is going to give me a ticket if i didn't put one on. So i put it down there and he hasnt said anything yet.

really? i don't remember seeing ur car, i do remember seeing an ss with c6 wheels but that was the closest one i saw that looks like the one in your sig...

looking at the pictures (especially the one with the b-52) they do look kinda gay but they really aren't that bad in person at all, and they really shine. however, i did just get the car and this is exactly how it came, except i added the silver camaro lettering on the front. I didn't do anything to the wheels in these pictures so they aren't very shiny at all, but anyways i do agree i need to get some different ones. he told me he gave 300 for them which isn't bad at all and they r better than the stock ones. i've seen some good lookin cars with zr1s but i'm not sure if they'd look all that great on here. I think i could get something better for the price. If someone could do a photoshop, that'd be cool.

So do a lot people not like the the stock ground effects? I wasn't going to buy one without em, cuz i like em that much. I almost got a saleen cuz they look so mean and the ground effects are what really do it...but anyways i appreciate the honest opinions!

I wonder what the z06 wheels would look like?
I just looked up the cheapest ones, but i'll spend more for the perfect ones.

Man, one of the first things I got warned on here was how people on here hate the Y3F ground effects. And, they were right. Gfx haters are venomous. They can not keep their opinion to themselves, not that I'm suggesting that they do. It's a free country and all. It's just a shame that you will never be able to post pics of your awesome car without several comments about the gfx. Even when they are nice, open-minded ones like the ones you have got so far, it gets really old. A lot of times, you'll get the barf smiley ( ) and ****.

I would never own an LS1-year 4th gen Camaro without them. I love them that much too. Loving the stripes too!!!

Black ZR1's would look so great on your car with the stripes, and I think Tomzwheels.com is still running a group sale on them. Make sure to get 11"ers on the back! That will really set your car off!

Looks really good man, I like those stripes. Do they go onto the roof or rear? Any engine shots?
