Default Opinions wanted for apperance mods.

I am not to sure where else to go with my car.

I need new tires so maybe some wheels. I like the c5 wheels. I hate murdered out cars.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my car.

personally, i think it looks almost perfect the way it is.

maybe if lowered it and lessened the wheel gap some (and i love the black housing headlights - or whatever they are for camaros).

lower it and if you are going to do wheels maybe no chrome... they look like an eye soar but it could be because the gap like stated above... i'd say lower it first and see how it looks... other than that i like how it looks very clean i'm a firm believer in less is more

I would lower it and get some C5 wheels like you said but please don't go with the C6 wheels I think those wheels need to stay away from Fbodies that's just me. But as it sits very nice car!

fix or remove your side molding

ditch the red calipers and either paint them silver or black. The red doesn't go with anything.

maybe lower it....

lower the front end, put a silver manta stripe or silver hockey stripes, get black TTM's with chrome lip. Will look like the sex after that.

As seemingly everyone has said lower it.. I would do an HID conversion but no angel HIDs those are for civics.. maybe change the foglights out too from the off-yellow color to a pure white.. other than that i would say thats a hell of a good looking car

Definitely lower it and change the wheels out for something deep dish if the funds call for it if not then the other choices are obvious.

Like said, lower it, and leave it at that. If you wanna go further widen the back wheels and put 315s on, the whistler mod would really set it off too. Don't spend your money on wheels, your 10 Spokes are perfect. If you get C5/TT2's, you'll be right where you started, every camaro has those.

I agree and would suggest flat black over the silver... Would match the splitter and whistler and I would do flat/satin black Berger as well
