Default i feel like im running out of things to do :(

so i feel like there isnt much left to do appearance wise on my car
lemme give u an idea of whats on it now..





stuff you can see:
adjustable coilovers and lowering springs
brembo big brake kit on the front
red rear calipers and zinc plated drilled rotors
18" black ruff racing rims
halo projector headlamps with 55watt HIDs
blacked out turn signals
35w HID foglights
blacked out taillights
blacked side markers
side decals "dick harrell" imitation
black billet grille (soon to be black intercooler)

all i can think of would be a sunoco hood to match the stripes, but im spending alot of $$ on engine and suspension right now. anyone have any suggestions for under 4-5 hundred bucks? (or anyone wanna sell a pewter sunoco hood? hah)

We've got a lot of stainless covers, custom etching, polished bolt kits, billet caps, etc. that would fit into your price range. Let me know if you have any questions.

Did you take the GS stripes off to do the Harrell Stripe? Or do you have the Harrell on one side and the GS on the other? Cus the way the pictures look it looks like one side has the GS and the other side has the Harrell stripe..

Color matched side mirrors and maybe a different emblem on the bumper (the one between the catfish mouth and the hood). Looks pretty good! Maybe remove the Z28 moldings if you don't care about them or care to advertise you have a Z28.

How about some *** shots?

Repaint or polish/wax the black triangle pieces so that they're black.

Looks like all you need is sidemolding, and maybe get a sunoco hood.

Work on the engine bay, and performance mods now. I know how you feel, like there's nothing left to do, and you just stare at your car hopeless haha.

1. Keep those ground effects! I say it because everyone & their brother will tell you rid of them. I've owned a 98 Camaro with those gfx and honestly I think they make the 98-02 Camaro like the WS6 hood makes the 98-02 Firebird/TA.

2. Paint those side mirrors. I understand FBody guys liking the black roof panel but the mirrors whether it's Firebird or Camaro look tons better being the same color as the body.

3. I'd ditch the JFRMotors.com from side decal stripes. Just looks like something ricers do.

4. Hood. If you like the stock hood that's cool because it looks really good as is with the gfx. But otherwise an SS hood or a Cowl induction hood would really set the car off.

Just my 2 cents but some ideas for you to think about.
