I had an idea about changing the silver SS emblems on my NBM SS to the red ones that only come on the black SS's. I did it but I'm thinking it turned out a little stonger than what I was hoping for. Maybe it will grow on me. Here's the pics if I can get them to work.

Nice car, I like the way the emblems look on the blue.

Great looking car. I think the silver badges look alot cleaner. I've seen black cars that look better with the silver as well.

Yeah the silver ones go with the wheels better. Although I didn't get a good shot of the rear it looks great like it was meant to be that way with the red bowtie and I have the Camaro "blackout" lettering in black. The front SS has potential to work with the red in in the front cover emblem on the nose of the car but the sides just dont have much to work with. Instead of trashing them just yet what would be some good ideas of making the sides work? I'm thinking maybe painting the calipers black and red or having the scoop painted black with a little red and maybe silver pinstripe? Or both. I don't want to give up on it just yet since I paid a little over a $100.00 bucks for them but I want the car to visually flow. That's the main reason I didn't go with chrome rims because I believe they would have been a distraction and not work with the rest of the car.

well if you want to try something different you could just get some decals from Brent and just cover them. He has some examples on his web site.


And I think red calapers would look great, I did mine yesterday. I painted the calapers red and the bracket black

Might look good that way if you added clear corners.

The red doesn't look too bad.

Been there...........


and done that.......


but the Red was a little too much after awhile, it's my "highlight" color, needs to be used sparingly IMO

so after $100 down the tubes, the stainless steel and chrome inserts did the trick for me, not to say that that is your fix, I just finally got the balance I was looking for on the "Beast"

Ahhhhh...........

I thought it looked good. Different, but in a good way. It's nice to see occasional originality.

Not bad... but I gotta say I like the cleaner silver/blue look.

Blu Beast - Looking at your car is making me want to get the GS stripes again, heh.

SS3933: I haven't seen your car in a long while; it still looks great!! Every time I had to see a NBM Camaro with those silver Z06's I had to find your website. It's just my opinion, but your car pulls off them wheels better than any other car on the site.
I'm still in awe as to how well balanced the look of your ride is.

I have to agree with BluBeast - your car looks great but I would definitely go back to silver. My theory is you can only have 3 colors on your car before it gets hard on the eyes. Blue/Black/Silver is the way to go with our cars IMO!

Do it Mad, the Black GS's looked bad *** on your car!.........

The red looks pretty good.

I think both colors look just fine. Red gives it a more sporty appearance, like the red calipers on an electron blue Z06. The silver emblems look a little more classy though. Depends on your personality I suppose.

Paint your Z06 wheels bright red! (just kidding )

I like both colors, your NBM looks really bright for some reason. Maybe the camera?

I agree, the red is just a tad too much. Just slightly though.

I prefer the silver, especially with your wheels.

I like both.. silver is more refined.. red is more "sporty"... they do go well with the calipers

SS3933

I really appreciate all your replies, compliments and especially your constructive criticism. Couple of old timers I haven't seen in a while... Blu Beast (remember the SLP days?) Tony. Of course that's my fault, we just had our third girl in Febuary AGGGHHHH!!! so it's a little tough to chat as much.
I too am a little partial for it being a little much but first I'm gonna paint the calipers and then seriously consider/think about a hoodscoop paint job. I will have made my mind up before the hoodscoop paint goes on though! Feel free to post away with pictures and opinions.

I like the red. More "flare".
