Default My camaro needs your help!!!!

Alright, this spring I bought a pretty much stock black '99 Z28. I have spent countless hours trying to decide what direction I want to take the car. Here's where I need your help, I simply cannot decide what to do with my car visually. There are so many damn options. I have a couple ideas, the first and my favorite would be a black/white theme. I would do clear corners and LT1 tails with VHT'd red area leaving them black and white, eventually I would get some chrome C5 ZO6s. The second idea was doing black/red theme where I would do red z28 emblems and red corners with black c5 Z06's with a red lip (I've been told this idea is ricey). Both of these ideas are pretty unique and would help my car stand out from the crowd. Finally, I could always keep the car stock! haha Please does any one have pictures of black Camaros with these themes? Any ideas would be great! Thanks your opinion matters a lot to me!

Your black/white theme seems much better. Black Camaro's look great already so no need to do too much.

Ya that's my top option I think. It would be great if someone could post a pic of a black Camaro with some tinted LT1 tails, just so I could get a better idea of how this will look.

I voted black and white. The way you described it, it seems like you have a vivid picture of it, might as well do it.


I have a black/red theme. Red lettering, red stripe on the black wheels.

Has anyone tried an SS hood with a white manta? could be cool. White ZL1 stripe on a SS spoiler and trunk deck. Haven't seen that to much.

Personally I think that clear corners on a black car isn't going to look too great, but idk. I also think that a black car with a white manta doesn't look good either, it stands out too much and the placement isn't good enough for the color. I don't think fourth gens look good with black and white stripes, but there's always exceptions.

If I had your car, I'd probably lower it, get some nice wheels, probably SS spoiler, maybe a hood (I like the Z28 hoods though, when the rest of the car is done nicely), window tint... If you were to get an SS hood I would do a flat black manta. Overall, do whatever you're going to enjoy the most, don't let anyone else tell you different.

Here's a nbm(almost black) with a white manta and the ZL1 out back, you add a thin black pinstripe near the edge of the manta and rear stripe to tie it together. Some tinted clear corner lenses would look better on this car as well as a black car. He's got a billet grill and white SS ties it together but he could go bowtie. A black slp grill w/white bowtie could also tie the theme together for the op.

thought of somethin else.. some zr1 blue painted brake calipers or just the traditional painted red calipers. also look at muffinbusters thread, they have some awesome emblems you could throw on the car(maybe some 69' style emblems for the side).
