Looks sharp.

Not sure what else to suggest looks-wise...maybe a grille insert.

ya i do have the stainless steel emblems. As for exhaust, i am actually looking to get rid of the borla and i wanna get like a loudmouth with the CME exhaust. Also im getting the windows tinted 5% and im gonna do clear corners, and a grill, and also do a silver stripe down the scoop and rear of the car. Also if anyone is good at photchop, maybe the could put some black rims on my car, and do the limo tint so i can get a good idea what it would look like. Thanks

I'd suggest ditching the ZO6 wheels ASAP...I'd be willing to trade my ZR1s for them, straight up...you know, as a favor to ya

On a more serious note, I'd definitely do something with the exhaust. A Camaro's exhaust never looks quite right since it just kinda hangs back there. The CME with the valence would definitely help finish off the rear of the car. Other than that, just keep it shiny...it makes me cry when I see one of these cars that has been beat all to hell around here.

ya i def try to keep it shiny, but there is so much dust where i live, its terrible having a black car, but when its clean there is nothing like it. But ya im on the hardcore search for the CME tips and valance, and i dont wanna pay the insane amount from SLP if i dont have too. I also need to pick up a set of stock taillights,cause im tired of these terrible looking ones i have on now.

looks good, i third the ideas for clear corners, grille and tint. i like idea for a manta hood stripe too, but i am kinda partial i would just buy the CME valence, tips and elbows and keep the borla. thats what i am going to do, sounds better than loudmouth imo, no drone. looks nice, keep up the good work

Your SS is exactly how i want mine to look..What did u do to your headlights? they look alot different. Also is your manta stripe a decal or painted? I think im gonna get mine painted since i heard the decal is a pain in the butt to put on.

This time of year down here, it is pollen season...it only takes one day before my black SS turns dark yellow. I feel your pain...

Good luck on your CME search...I'd help you out if I could. I got a new set of tips from SLP when I did my true duals because I wanted the extra bracing. My old tips are sitting in my dad's barn in Indiana, still attached to my old hooker exhaust and Kooks catted-y. Maybe one day I can get up there and get everything apart to sell.

thanks man, i painted my headlights, do a search on here you'll find out how to do it. it looks mean on black cars. also, my manta is a decal, for now. it is a major pain to install, on my previous SS i messed up two of them. the first i tried to do myself, big mistake, and the second was ruined by a seasoned vinyl professional. this one went on much better and looks just like a painted one, w/o the shine. but i wanted to make sure i liked it before messing up my hood. i'll prob get it painted sometime. as far as the CME search goes, yes it is hard to find, but PM Todd@EAD performance, he sent me a pm with some very good prices on the pieces you'll need to do it. it was very resonable. i'll probably look to do it this summer.

Billet grille and painted calipers. The clear corners are completely subjective. Some like them, and others hate'em. Sweet car though.
