Tail lights are a little dark for my liking.
Wheels look too small...are they 17's or 18's?

Love the Sebring Silver Metallic though...that's why I have a '98 SS in that color!!!!

I figured that they were 17's.
If you decide to keep the Z06's, I would sell these and buy a set of 18" ones.

Beautiful car! Not a big fan of the tail lights but to each their own! Have you thought about painting the calipers? I think that would make it look awesome. What about doing the whistler mod? It would go well with your grille.

I need to do the whistlers too. I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite ha? I just want to find an extra set of headlights that I can do them to, just in case I mess up, and I also use my car everyday so I can't drive around without headlights. I hear ya about college and work. Seems like it's all I do. Where is the time built in for the Camaro in this world!?

as far as driving every day just yank em out early sunday morning, paint em....let em sit all day and put em back in that night or the next morning...that should work ok for ya...as for an extra set of lights...just give it a shot and if it doesnt work out order some new ones...i mean even if you some how manage to mess em up they would still work enough until the new ones come in...the only way you could really botch the job is cooking em too long and melting them or painting everything without masking it off...most people who do it get it perfect the first time
