Default Almost Done (SOM SS)

Well I think I'm about done with looks for my car. The last few mods were the whistlers, painted billet grille, and lowered. However I'm getting bored with the look and I want to change some things. I've been thinking about getting my TTIIs powdercoated a dark gunmetal color just to go along with the new theme. Thoughts? Ideas?

Its hard to see in the 2nd pic but if ur berger panel isnt smoothed out u need need camaro fill-ins.To be honest i think it would look best with the panel SOM and fill -ins. it will match the wheels and front badging. clear corners are cheap too, u could see how those look.

Thanks guys. I've been thinking very seriously about the fill ins, I had a chance to buy some for cheap but they were sold before I could get them. Where is the best place to get some brushed fill ins?

Yeah I got the brushed fill-ins and ended up painting them black to match my black billet grille. I originally thought about getting TTIIs and powdercoating them gunmetal, but instead went with TTMs because you can get them gunmetal for a lot less money than paying to powdercoat the TTIIs.

Haha Man I can't stand not driving it. After I get this motor done it most likely wont be parked for a good while, I've been having 6-speed withdrawls. About the whole blondes thing, the hot brunette/blonde ratio has been about 3 to 1.

I'm not sure, I've just been lacking ideas that wouldn't look dumb. I like it keep it as simple as possible, I hate dealing with aftermarket bullshit.

There is just something different about the TTm's but I don't know what.
Your car looks good. You need to lower it and paint behind the grille, I think that would set it off.

Fills in for the Berger, some clear corner's/side markers would look good too. You can get em both for pretty cheap on ebay, have you thought about a manta stripe and stripe on the back deck?? black, maybe gun metal color if you can find some to match your thought on wheels being powdercoated gunmetal.

Car looks really good man, not much to change on it.

I had thought about going with some black/gunmetal 35 Anniv. stripes but I don't think I'll do it just because chances are it wont be perfect and that would irritate me. Plus the car didn't come with them so I'll probably just do without them.

I like the clear corners sometimes but I think I'd rather have them smoked. I might VHT them, looks like that'll be the next mod haha.

Yeah I am going to lower it soon, probably by 1 inch but no less. I am leaving the grille orange behind the billet because I like the way it looks.
