Exterior Mods Almost Done, Lots of Pics Inside :-) Hey. Let me know what you think of my z28 as it sits right now. A cpl weeks ago I did the long style hockey stripes, and the beginning of May, I had the paint detailed, and a dingy in the 1/4 panel removed. The past few weeks of flood-type rain held me back from taking some nice pics. Thanks in advance!
This is my car exactly 11 months ago the day after I bought it (in the same spot as some of the pics above). It was stock with no modification whatsoever besides GTS blackouts.

Looks pretty damn good to me 
Get some chrome/polished CAMARO letters for the back, clear turn signals with black housing for the front and maybe paint the spokes (leaving the lips shiny) a charcoal grey and it would be PERFECT, IMHO...
I would ditch the front license plate and say f@ck the cops (actually, I did) and either make the grille black or the same color as the rim spokes IF you do paint them... Slap a blue or red old school bowtie on there and it will be car ****

Thanks!
mikerulzu : Ive had 2 sets of clearcorners on. The seals went bad on both and i went through many, MANY bulbs + sockets. Ive tried gorilla glue, caulk, u name it :-D I might try one last time with the black style and if that doest go thru, ill just stick with the stockers.
DEMONBIRD : I was thinking about it, but im not a huge fan of black/charcoal wheels, unless its on the perfect car, like a black, or red car. I actually put the "C A M" for rear inserts that I got off ebay, and saw that it looked like complete **** lol. Ive also gotten a handful of tickets/warnings with the liscense plate off, and I only take it off for shows.
1SicV8 : I got old school emblems, ready to be put on. This was taken on my birthday when i got everything...
Z28LS1camaroguy : Wasnt that hard. The hardest part was the first piece, which was the fender. The lettering that they supply (like mine says LS1, changing that out soon), its got like 14 little sticker pieces and everytime i tried to pull up on the paper, some of them came off. The first fender took 30-40 minutes, and the rest together was about 40 minutes. Patience is key. I dunno if ur going with the short style or long, but I did the long which is 2 extra pieces. But yea, once the fenders are on, its all cake.
ynkssws6 : Ahh, that red WS6. Ive seen that alot... actually... I see it just about every wednesday morning cuz I pick up your garbage :-D Along with the white LT1 formula parked out front, Im pretty sure I went to school with him, but cant quite remember his name. Yep, thats at horseshoe lake... i live about 2 miles down the road, the end of Kenvil Ave to be exact
sills1 : Yea, the passenger side fender stripe is like an 1/8th inch higher, which was my mistake of continuing the installation at night. But the way I look at it, you cant look at both sides at once .
Thanks for the comments guys! Next up is either an SS hood or a sunoco cowl with grooves Then the exterior is done, then I finish the suspension along with a 9 bolt, and right into the motor i go :-D

XLZ very nice car you got going there. Its funny how you notice cars in your neighborhood without actually knowing the people. I can do the same but there arent any modified LS1 exterior wise in Ewing NJ except mine that is. Lots of good tasteful progress made. The old school Z/28 should really set it off.
