Looks good.

If I could make some suggestions they would be put the right size tires up front (or are they 275 already?) and clean up the CME, maybe have it polished and aligned, looks a little crooked to me. I actually orderd one for my ride too, gonna make sure my exhaust guy gets it lined up right.

I know my exhaust rubs if I go up a steep hill so maybe that's how that happened before you got it.

Looks good. If my car wasn't an SS I would rock that hood in a heartbeat.

Fronts are 275. They do look smaller. Hopefully when the prokit gets on they will look better.

maybe it's just that tire brand

I disagree with the others, the hood looks very nice.

I like the car, but the headlights just don't do it for me. To me they are very cheap looking. Nothing beats a nice clean set of oem h/l's

Car looks good, were the springs used? The rears appear to be sagging. The rears look closer to sportlines, and the fronts look like a projit IMO.

Yup they were used and i agree. Driver side sits up a bit more. I read that seems to be normal on most fbodys? I could be wrong

Yeah Eibach springs tend to sag. I've had sportlines on a few cars though, and luckily never noticed any issues with sagging. It may be because it was already super low.

Are the rubber isolators in at the top of the rear springs? IF not I thinks that's worth about a 1/2 inch

I mixed and matched parts on my drop set up back in the day. I did SS springs in the back and prokit in the front looked perfect. My roommate used my prokit rears and sportlines up front and looked awesome as well. Oh btw Im an SS hood advocate for the stock SS Camaro. Zs could use aftermarket IMO.
