Default Took Some pics of the ride.

Sup Guys. I took some pics of my ride. (dont laugh at the wheels haha) I used a 69 camaro bowtie emblem for the grille. any ideas on what to do next besides the grille, whistler mod, and clear corners that are already done? I'm also testing a new signature. Thanks guys.

I only see one pic Anyway, I agree with the drop helping, maybe a new hood. More pics would help with opinions. Looks good with what you've done though.

Ok opinions on your ride.

You have a solid car to work with. I dont know if it is the camera or the paint but your hood isnt looking up to par there. Almost like a spray can job. This is NOT a knock on your car. Listen we have all been there. We work with what we can afford at the time. If your hood is needing serious paint you might want to look into a new hood or paint job. Paint can run some money (please have it done right and not maaco job).

As for other things.

DMS lowering springs will really set you up correctly and make your car look great. I had all my appearance mods on my SS and it just didnt appear right to me.. I put DMS on and OMG the car sat perfect and looked SICK.

As for rims. You have the snowflakes on there now. Dont frett. Like I said.. we work with what we can afford at the time. Save up some money and you dont have to get Aero's or 5505's. You can spend like 700 bucks and get Chrome Z06 rims from TomzWheels. Yes alot of people have them but it looks great.

You have a black car so maybe some Silver or Red Hash marks from FourthGendesign.com

Hmm whatelse.. Camaro fill-ins for the rear panel.. and maybe some 295's or 315's out back.

Polish her up nicely and you are golden.

Wish you well and dont take ANY of my comments as being mean-spirited. I am just trying to give friendly advice on what has worked FOR ME. My thoughts might not be the direction you want to take with your car. Remember.. this is YOUR car. Not LS1TECH's car or anyone elses. Do not feel bad when a member rips on your car. Trust me.. people have ripped on THEIR car when they first started out. Noone here has put everything on their car and it all works. We do it by trial and error and trust me.. I have seen ALOT of people here make error's on appearance AND go fast mod's.

So dont frett.

Thanks for all the replys guys I havent been on here in a few days. Heres a link to some other pics of my car. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=286454Only thing that is different in this picture is I dont have the bowtie on the front like I do now. Ive done little things like paint some peices on the interior etc.. Nothing big. The paint on the front is FUBAR just from constant little road rocks, dirt, bugs etc. hitting it all the time. Another mod on it that isnt really shown is the caliper decals. Ill get somemore pics of side and back later. My camera is crappy and only works decent on more sunny days. Thanks again fellas!
