Default Who has made appearance mods to their Arctic White Z28?

Anyone? I'd love to see some pics. I don't want to get too carried away into the rice category, but a few different things have crossed my mind to give mine a little something extra in the looks department. Mainly I'm considering some or all of the following....

1) New rims. The stock non-chromed ones suck it up bigtime. I've searched quite a few rim threads and there are all too few pics of white Z28s.

2) Window tints. I think with the black roof, making the whole top of the car jet black would look slick contrasting a white body. But I haven't seen any pics...

3) A decal package. I would really at least like to get one of those sets of filler decals for the embossed "Camaro" on the rear. I looked at a few threads on this, and most of the cars were dark. I did see the white one with the black rear panel, but I don't think that look is for me. I also realize unfortunately that the stainless set probably just won't fly on white. I was also thinking that maybe a hugger orange heritage style stripe kit would look good also. I loved how the 97's with those stripes look, but searching here, Yahoo, and back copies of all my Chevy magazines I can't find so much as 1 pic of a 98+ with that color scheme. Although looking at pictures of stripe kits in general I realize an SS hood is probably neccessary to pull off the look right.

I may go with all, 1, or none of the ideas above. I just haven't found any pics of white Camaros with any real dramatic appearance changes and was curious whats out there. Thanks.

I've got the SS inserts in the camaro on the rear, I like them. In the same boat about the rims though, still lookn.
Also, go with the window tint, you will love it.

That is a page with pictures of my car. I went with a black theme, and I think it looks really nice. The black inserts in the back make the car look a ton better back there and have the OEM look. I just finished painting a new tail panel I got black, so soon I will have a black panel and I plan on getting white inserts.

And here is a picture of the theme you are thinking of:

Yes I would love to see this. Sounds like an awesome car! You can e-mail it to camaro419 at aol dot com. Thanks. Also, I would be curious if with the stripes you did anything to color in the "CAMARO" on the back. I've been trying to figure out if it would look better in black, orange, or just left alone when combined with the stripes, and/or if it would be passable with the stainless. Also, please let me know which company made your SS hood or if it is GM, as I am trying to compare fitment and appearance of the various options. Thanks again can't wait to see it, and to everyone else who's shared their pics so far! keep them coming!

Teri. It looks sweet!!! I was thinking about clears also, but I actual like the little bit of orange in the front, plus I believe that the clears are a fad.

Teri, if you like at the sig you will also see we have the same taste in hood decals. Did you say you were single?

I have the orange fill-ins in the rear, which look good to me.

Wheels are Boyd Timeless II. 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear

I added a little to my scoop decal to keep with my theme


I don't like the clear corners. The car already has a lot of white, I like the touch of color

Im thinking in keeping the Hood black to match the top cause I think it flows good but who knows.... The GFX will be painted white and I have a set of 10 spokes that will be going on soon.
