looking for opinions Ok so I will be converting the car back to an lt1 front end and want to see some opinions!I'm planning on going with oewheels do to the fact of sizes/price. I just can't justify spending $2-3k for a set of wheels especially i have a baby coming in just a few short months! I'm pretty much set on going with black wheels and it will be all black. Thinking to go with C5 deep dish with rivets. What i'm kind of hung up on is if i should do a matte black center with gloss black lip or do it all gloss black??? I do have a satin/matte berger panel and 6LE dual valance??Here is a pic of the car now and a photoshop of what i'm thinking of doing!! Let me know what you think and i'm not looking for opinions on the existing wheels!!! Thanks

But an LT1 is a 350ci.
I would not do anything other than change the wheels on your car. Unless it was mine I would lose the stripe and the side badge and wheels. But do what you like best man!

In this situation I would leave it an LS front end. Looks so great on your car and I love the LT front ends. As for wheels I would go with staggered 18" C5 DD without the rivets?

You guys are right the ls1 nose looks great! However i want my car to represent the right year. I went through the trouble converting and now i regret i did. I feel it should have the right nose. I feel confident that when i get her done it will look great! My biggest concern is the wheels and what hood to go with! I really want some forgelines but the wheels i want would cost $4k+,there is just no way i could do that. The hood will be a cowl hood unless i could find an ultra z hood cause that is what i really wanted.Anyways thanks all and keep it coming

OP,
Your car looks awesome as is, however, if you're going back to an LT1 front end, do you still have the original stuff? If not, My buddy has a mint condition arctic white LT1 camaro that I'm sure he'd be willing to trade you. Just a thought, but I am assuming you have the LT front end still. Anyways, whatever you do, good luck.
