I agree with maddboost, consider some drop springs to get rid of the gap in the wheel well...I think some stainless steel Camaro letter inserts would compliment your black rear panel. Sharp looking car!

Drop only if your duels will allow it.

I love the painted wheels with that color. Sweet looken ride. Time for some lope to go along with that exhaust. A nice cam is what that thing needs now. And some letter inserts.

maddboost - I have clear corners. The sig in the pic is with my headlights on so that is why they look amber.

Brian2001SS - I know tell me about it. Trust me, a nice package is in the works and being saved up for.

to everyone else - my car is lowered (a little) If you check my sig, I have the SLP Bilstein suspension, which lowers it a bit. I don't want it any lower and I like the way it sits.

Personally I'm starting to regret painting my rear panel a year and a half ago, because I could have never imagined how many people were actually going to do it. :x Oh well, your car does look really sharp, and I bet it sounds mean as hell.

Really nice looking car. I myself like the ride height of your car. If it were my car, I wouldn't lower it. I also don't care for letter inserts or changing the colors of the emblems to something other than the body color (runs rampant with the T/A crowd) Very clean and not over-done. Good job!

Great looking car. Very sharp, very clean...

Two things to set it apart from the rest though:

1. New (quality) wheels
2. Lowering springs

BTW, I'm not a fan of the Berger rear valence. Not saying it looks bad, just not my thing. It's your car so

The true duals must sound nice with LT's. Get a good sized cam and that thing will sound like a monster!

Looks great. Add some silver fill ins on the rear though. Last but not least, lower it if you can like everyone said.

I have a 2002 Silver SS as well and I had those same wheels. I liked them until I ordered the same ones in chrome from SLP. Best thing I have done to my car until my Hooker LT's go on thursday. Seriously, it makes the car.
Also, did you paint your rear black or is it a decal?

topgun6566 - I purchased a new panel from a totaled camaro and painted the panel myself (no its not a decal). That way I still have the original stock piece if I ever want to go back.

Is it just me or does the front of the car look higher than the front. Look at the body shots and compare the top of the wheel well to the rear.

thats because the front wheel well opening is higher since that is where the tires turn.
