Dude, your Camaro is nice! I see you have a different rearview mirror in the car, did you install that yourself? And I'm curious on what lowering springs are you using?

Ah, paying attention to detail, didn't think anyone would notice that. Yes, it's the autodimming mirror with compass and outside temp indicator. I did do the install myself. Took me 3 hours, but through my installation, you can do it in an hour, i can clue you in on just what you need to do. As far as lowering springs, I have pro-kits in the front and DMS in the rear. I love the linear rate of the pro-kit fronts, and i like the stiffer rate of the DMS in the rear, plus the ride height of the DMS is better than the pro-kit rears...

Another detail, yea i took my locking nuts and covers off at home. I'm having the wheels true balanced and having the valve stems replaced. I've had mechanics over tighten the lug covers and crack them so i take them off before i take the car in. I'll PM ya on some little details on the installation which might save ya some time...

Looking great! I think some diamond clear corners would really complete that look.

Gotta love the GMMG and those stainless inserts on the flat black panel look sweet.

I think the Whistler headlights would look great on that car. Go with a gloss black on them (flat black tends to dull up the front of the car too much on certain colors). Or, since you have NBM, I think you might even be able to pull off NBM inside the headlights.
