Default Appearance Revamp

I have a very plain 99 pewter z28, with just factory chrome wheels. Im thinking of either 17" ZR-1 Wheels or 18" C5 thin 5 spoke wheels, in chrome of course. Then i would like to lower the car an inch or 2 with the G2 kit. Next Either a Cowl or SS hood. Then some clear corner lights, and possibly ground effects. Anyone have pics of a pewter camaro with c5 wheels and either ss or cowl hood ? Any Pewter Camaro that looks good i would appreciate a pic of, there are probably many good looking combos i haven't thought of. Thanks in advance for the help.

No pics, but here is what I would do in ur case...

-cowl hood (I love my SS hood but would rather go cowl!)

-69 z28 emblems (gains extra points at car shows and is pretty unique)

-chrome wheels (again, be unique, but u can't loose with those c5 rims, those are sweet!)...check out www.billetspecialties.com)

-no ground effects (I personally don't like em)

-go with black accents, u could possibly get a chrome grill and chrome z28 69 emblems to match ur wheels?)

-lower the car, GREAT IDEA!

-and by all means go borla or slp loudmouth (I have loudmouths! they rock the streets!)

Clear corners are a must. The chrome 18" C5's are great looking rims in my book. You can't go wrong with those. Don't lower it too much if you get 18" rims, but definitely lower it.

I personally don't like cowl hoods and I don't like SS hoods on a Z28. I don't like that people think that you're trying to create a SS clone. Don't forget about the Ultra Z hood. That's the best in the business if you ask me (even though it's on back order forever).

The 69 Z28 emblems are a great idea.

Don't do ground effects.
