Default Need some sources.

Okay I have a 2000 Camaro SS. Its blue (see pics below). It will be hitting the paint booth soon to get a full new paint job. I currently have TT2s and Fikse M5s for it. Only have pics with the fikses on. They are my show/drag wheels, as weird as that sounds. Anyhow. I have a new set of headlights because mine are fogging up so i am trading a guy for some new ones and i plan to do the whistler mod to them. I also have a SLP bowtie grille which I will either have painted blue to match the car or leave black. so my questions are as follows.

1)What color should I do the whistler mod? Black or Blue? or other headlights?
2)Bowtie grille, Black or Blue to match?
3)And does anyone know a place to get HIDs for Fog and Low beams in a package or reasonable price?

Yeah i have looked on ebay and i have had no luck. i guess i could buy two seperate kits but i would rather have one complete setup. I am also replacing my carpet in and interior in my car, it is all going to be black, but i dont know what to do about my tan interior panels. I talked to a guy who said he could wrap my door panels but the otehr stuff would have to be me. Another buddy told me about a paint especially for those plastic panels, its more of a bonder than paint i guess. i am hesitant on using it tho, any of you guys got any ideas on that. I am basically reworking the entire car, full new interior, complete new paint job, and a whole new motor. So any suggestions you guys got shoot em at me. I have had one fbody or another for about 4 years now and this is the first one i have had worth building. so any suggestions please let me know.

Well, I am about to make a pretty big order with 6LiterEater, and get my interior done, i still am not sure about all my interior panels tho. I am really determined to get it all black somehow but still look professional. carpet and seats and harnesses are of course no issue. I just got my new Avic-Z3 head unit in so i will need to order his double din kit.

And it will hopefully hit the paintbooth after this race season. I want to keep running my current motor til this season is over. After that i can drop the motor and take it to my paint guy so he can spray the engine bay also. SO its gonna be along build, right now im just trying ot find the parts!

if you prep the interior pieces really well... and i mean really well, the paint they have works great. you could also consider wrapping them.
