Default "4 Days before Xmas and its 75 outside in Texas" pictures BEWARE: LT1.

Thought I would share as it was absolutely amazing outside yesterday!











What do you guys think?
I'm on the fence about doing the 98+ front end or not.
If I go that way, I want 18" chrome wheels for sure...just dunno which ones.

Well, I think you got a pretty awesome car there, and I'm very much jealous of your weather.
98+ front end is just a matter of preference. some people like it, some people dont (sebring, catfish... I just laugh these off, since chicks <3 6cyl mustangs and 5th gens look like a shoe box)
I would probably spend my monies on torque/hp than a front end.. for now

looks good, I like how you did the berger and the spoiler black. I got the same set up on my car.

Maybe tint the windows a little darker like 15%? I agree, the car looks good as is already.

Clean LT1 man. Has it been repainted? It seems to be in awesome shape. Other than the black painted spoiler I like what you've done with the car!

Leave the front end the same and spend the money on some go fast goodies.

Nice LT1, use to live a few miles from you in Plano. Definitely got to love the 75 degree weather in Texas.

Sweet looking LT1 car . Man I wouldnt put a LS1 clip on it , it looks sooo good looking with the front end it has and the gunmetal ZR1's . Paint the SS spoiler and at most add LT1 SS hood and call it day . The old SLP dual/dual tips look good too , those and the 2otl are the only ones I think look right on a Camaro .

Looks nice! The only thing I would do is paint the spoiler body color.

Looks ******' sick. I would leave the wheels as is, those graphite ZR1s are ****. Lower it and get it tinted, then it will be perfect.

car looks great!

I would leave the LT1 front end on it...

Also I REALLY like the black spoiler and Berger too.

Thanks guys =)

Car has original paint, but I think the mirrors were repainted, and maybe the front bumper as well. Doesn't quite shine the same.

Just put on the spoiler and I really like the look of it being black, I don't think it looks out of place at all with the berger panel.

I think next for sure is to get the roof bar painted black and get the run-ins to the spoiler painted black as well so it flows really nice.

Also thinking about getting one of 6LE's rear valences (maybe CME or the ones with the cutouts on the sides and get some Corsa tips) and painting that black too.

Can't figure out if I want the LT1 SS hood or not...I don't think it looks that great on silver cars.

Looking into a cam swap as well, if I just do cam only I can have some left over to play with the car's appearance or get the heads ported...decisions decisions.

I would go for a cam and the SS hood for sure. And the CME would be badass.

That car looks amazing, don't ruin it by putting an LS1 front end on it!
