The fenders are a different color silver. The car is going to the body shop to get the fenders resprayed to match the car. The problem is 12 year old paint next to brand new paint and the fact that the fenders we sprayed away from the car. Will be fixed in the very near future.

I don't get it.
All this effort and money to make it look like an LT1? Part of the nostalgia of Camaros is how they look different in each generation and how each generation has different looks depending on year.
I own both types of cars, and I can't really say that I like one look more than the other.
I will say, that the LT1 nose makes that car unmistakable. The LS1 cars are often mistaken for other cars....
Both of mine are the same color.....and I can't really say which I like better, but I have to say the LT1 looks more aggressive, and the LS1 looks more sneaky/smooth...
Here's some pics of both of my 4th gens, style of SS Front.....

All worth it to me. Car is finished. I just need to fabricate a 8 bar billet grill to put on.

LT1 Camaro guys cram lids under their stock hoods, and an LS1 car has more room because of the lower radiator support crossmember. So there goes that argument. And the LT1 WS6 ram air box is better than any lid setup.
John, your car looks awesome. I need to get the motivation to have mine painted.

So I'm looking at my Z and SS and I have a larger fender gap in the front of my SS then my Z. With that being said I know the Ls1 is lighter than the Lt1 but from what I've have read a completely dressed Lt1 is approximately 100lbs heavier than a fully dressed Ls1. So I'm really considering doing the 1" lowering A-arms from BMR. I think between the car being lowered via springs, and a extra 1" drop in the front and the front spoiler, this car is going to have a really aggresses stance.

Sounds good. My car was already lowered when I bought it. I left the front lowered and I put stock springs in the back to fit 275-35-18 in the back, I have 245-45-17 in the front. I looked at my car from a distance the other day and you can really see the height distance from back to front. Hope I can see your cars this summer.

LT1 front end is way meaner & cleaner, LS1's look like Chryslers and you know it 
A decked out LS1 with SS hood, ss grille, nice headlights looks killer though. But stock is awful looking. Idk LT1's look good in just about anything lol.. stock, SS hood, harwood, cowl, stinger, all look amazing.

On the Firebird / Trans Am side, I have a differing opinion. While the 93-97 Trans Am has smoother and better flowing lines, I like the aggressive looks of the 98-02 cars more. I have always hated the rear bumper of the Firebird and Formula cars. I hate the super pointy front end of the 93-97 cars as well. I do like the standard nose on the 98-02 cars allot though. I do really like the WS6 and Firehawk hoods. Lastly, the base Firebird and Formula spoiler ******* sucks. I hate it.
