Redid the Whistler mod and got some new pics. I didn't read the how to well enough and only did it halfway the first time, lol. It looked like bug eyes or some eyeliner instead of the smoked look I was going for...
Also, tint's next on the list. I think 20% with the rotors/calipers painted black (or powdercoated NavyBlue?) and some dual chrome tips coming out the back would finish off my setup nicely till I can afford new paint and some Fikses, lol. Also, I'm not sure if I want to try "Bergering" the car with some kind of black. I'm thinking maybe satin black with stainless steel "CAMARO" letters in the back to compliment the tips and rear lights.

Someday I'll have to get pics that make the car actually look somewhat blueish, lol.

lol, I even tried to take pictures in the middle of the day, right in the sunlight this time, but no dice. Someday... I'll be able to prove to everyone that it really is NBM ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
Thanks man! I personally hate amber lights and thought it was clashing bad with my setup, so I taped off the red/white parts and sprayed a few coats on that alone before I hit the whole thing with a few coats of VHT nightshade and clearcoat. I love how it turned out. I still need to wetsand and buff it though, to get it glossy.
