Smile Project "Look Nicer" Camaro

So I started on making the beast look much better. Here are some pictures.
Painted the Valve Covers Red and Intake Silver.

Looks great. Really like the contrast with the red and silver. Headlight definitely looks better but it looks like you got a little bit more work there


Off topic, but where is that nitrous solenoid connected to? Is it just hanging there because I have never seen a solenoid mounted that far away/in that position

You may want to also add some sort of grommet to the !wire hole for extra added safety

No the NX isn't hooked up yet. I am looking for someone to post up some pictures of where to set it up. I worked more on the Lights and look much better than the picture just didn't have time to take pictures. Yet! I also have the grommets to put in the cut hole. Just throwing out some project pictures.

BTW, the hatch isn't closed so the lines are off in the rear.

Bact to the headlights though, I caught the topic on here and said HELL WITH THE HELOS.. so I'm cleaning them up. Lots of work so far and more to come. More detailing for sure.

honestly i prefer the satin, but either way stainless rear fill ins are a must. As stated the headlights look like they could use a little more work

I taped the neck off and the bolts I wanted to see what it looked like. I might polish them.

Well, funny enough when I painted mine (and a friend's LT1 intake) with CHEVY RED they looked just as orange as yours (kind of matched the 30th Color)... I didn't get an actual "red" look untill I painted them with FORD RED of all colors !!!
