Default this be enough to spice up the car?

Ok I have done all motor stuff until now. Its time to spice the car up a bit. I was wondering if I am going in the right direction.. The car is a Red SS with chrome 10 spokes on it.

SS grille, scoop decal, clear corners, lowering springs, and rear fascia letters. Is there anything else I could do to help the cars stock appearance?

Oh the list goes on and on! But IMHO, do not do ground effects, The Camaro lines are so clean as they are. Body kits just make the car look clunky and overweight.

All I can say is paruse (sp) all the latter posts and there are lots of good ideas!

Sounds like you have a good start.

2kredCSS ,your on the right track. In my opinion ,dont get the body kit. Once you lower you car ,that alone will greatly improve the appearance of your car. I did that and I love it ,but I went one step further and ordered 18 inch chrome Z06 rims.

If I had wanted ground effects I would have gotten a TA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> -- I would consider some sort of accent strip for the car (in black or be a rebel and do silver).. an SS Berger style.. solid scoop stripe or smaller stinger style like mine.. it certainly does personalize a car and make it stand out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Other than that keep the exterior simple..

I have limo tint all the way around, blackouts on my taillights, rear fascia letters, (blk car w/ red letters), I just ordered some pro-headlight covers from SuncoastCreations.com
I have a billet antenna, front billet grill, and Im trying to find anyone who has the Z28 symbol in RED...If anybody can help me out there, it would be much appreciated. Also, exhaust tips look good too. I have dual 3" round tips, but I'd prefer Meg Tips, they're oval and look sweet, i hade them on my Red 97 RS...
A hood is also nice. Hope this helps out in any ways.... <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />
