Default Downtown Pics & Red Gauges

I took a few pics of my car this weekend before I started the X-MAS shopping.

I took the car by a car wash and got on the HWY to dry it.

The car still hasn't been buffed or wax since I've painted it...no time.

GUAGES at NIGHT with STOCK LIGHTING

I'll have to take night pics of gauges some other time, but they are far more impressive during the day.

I still need to buy some LEDs to light up the gauges.

I'd like to for them to light up a bright white.

I want LED's for the entire interior.

thanks

I don't like the LS1 SS' spoiler's pedestals...but I like that its higher and the LED tail light is nice.
Plus, not too many Z's out there with the LT1 style spoiler...my spolier has a few TWEAKS that other LT1 style spoilers don't have. (totally smooth, not body line)

Car looks good. I like the hood and gauges. The only thing I don't like is the ms4 on the hood, but its something different.

Cool

Extremely sharp Camaro! Cool shots. Folks, if someone doesn't ask for suggestions for improvements, they likely have their car set-up as they like it. If you don't agree, take a look at his screen-name.
