Default Newer pics of my Silver Z-28

Tell me what it needs as far as appearance and what you think of it. I've got the rims at the house so as soon as I finish off these tires the TT2's are going on. And yes I'm aware my cowl panel thing is cracked in the dash, that will be replaced this week.

Here's a list of things I'm considering:

1.) Clear turn signal lights
2.) Sonoco cowl hood w/ HP sticker on the side, old school look
3.) Definately want the SS spoiler
4.) Maybe HID's but that blinding factor is holding me back
5.) lowering maybe 1.5" - 2" total
6.) Some kind of stripes such as the 35th Anniversary stripes in a dark gunmetal silver color. May just leave it as is.
7.) Silver camaro lettering in the Berger panel
8.) New catback to get rid of those hideous tips


Anything else?

And here's a cool pic of the halo's at night...

I've got a silver 98 and here's what I've done and plan to do (completed mods are in bold planned ones are normal).

Remove side molding
GM SS spoiler
Blacked out taillights, spoiler LED, rear 1/4 panel lights, front turn signals with Niteshades sprayable taillight tint (available at Summit)
High gloss Berger panel with CAMARO filled in
SLP center mount exhaust
Halo headlights

HID high and low beams w/ projectors
Sebring Silver paint the stock grill (looks nicer than it sounds) and mirrors
Blend the center mount exhaust valence with the body
VFN 3in SS hood with scoop painted black
Black hockey stripes with '69 Z29 logo
Prostars with the 325 Mickey Thompsons outback and skinnies upfront.

That's all I have planned for now. I'd highly suggest the Niteshades for the lights, SS spoiler and, even though it is very costly now, the SLP center mount exhaust with dual SLP tips. It definately makes the *** of the 'camaro hotter than you could imagine.

OMG, I am glad you referred to your tips as hideous yourself. That looks horrible!

The rest of your list looks good though. I am personally not a big fan of stripes, so I am gonna leave that one up to you.

The Corsa tips are sweet, but for some reason I like my B&B better. I was at my local muffler shop today coz my friend had some exhaust work done to her car, and they actually had single tips that looked exactly like the B&B! Find the right Y and you could weld it up to look like the quad B&B tips that I have.

I would.....problem is that I don't like how it looks.

Besides...everyone is doing it now, so I am different by keeping it the way it was.

Thanks, I'm going with either the SLP center mount exhaust or magnaflow catback. I've actually been thinking about dual's from the headers back since this ORY rattles and leaks, I hate that damn thing too. BTW, I took the cut off grinder to those tips today, looks alot better now that nothing is sticking out! Your car looks awesome! Definately like the tips and wide *** tires out back.

Sounds like you've got a damn nice car! Got any pics available? I'd like to see how it looks without the side molding, thanks man.

Thanks guys!

I had all the info of the car in my sig....but someone changed the sig rules again!!

Anyhow...they are Yokohama AVS Sport, 315/35/17s on AFS ZR1 wheels. The car has quite a bit of work done to it...which is why my sig doesn't fit...gotta redo that somehow. Anyways...here's one more pic I was able to dig up...kinda big though.



My side molding is removed as well....as you can see in that pic, I love it that way, I should have done that much earlier!

It sure does! Makes it easier to find in a crowded parking lot!
