I like the wheels just not as much as your old ones. It should lowered some to get a better stance though.

They're very much like F-Bodies in that way, lol.

I'd put the iso in the back. Personally I like the rear a bit higher, I like the rake. Mine sits high in the rear by close to an inch, I like the look.
The rattle on the Jeep started after the lift.

And my Trans Am has not 1 single rattle at all in the insdie

Trust me you guys will like these wheels better once I get some better shots of the car.

And why should I get red marker lights? I think they look better with the black. At night the bulb clearly shines through it

I have a red bird and have red markers on all sides. I have black wheels as well and the more black the better with wheels, but sidemarkers are something I prefer to NOT stand out. They are extremely obvious when they are black and stick out. Getting red front markers and replacing those orange ones were the best thing I did. Thats just my opinion of course.

Gorgeous car!

The rear markers on a Camaro are red and they actually fit the front markers on Firebirds/TA's. Ill get some pics up here in a minute.




Before wheels/t-top conversion

It doesn't matter if its V6/V8. I'm sure they are all the same from 93-02 rears.

No problem man! It will look great! I also considered VHT'ing them black to go with my wheels. Just to have more black. I'm glad I didn't. I wish we didn't even have sidemarkers at all so I prefer to make them blend with the paint as much as I can. We are lucky with red cars that we can do that. Same with black cars and white cars.

You ever consider stripes or blackbird stripes? I think they would look great on your car and really compliment your wheels! I would be all over that if I had a WS6 hood. Id love to add one for that alone, but I already have a TA hatch. I feel like a TA hatch AND a WS6 hood would look like I'm trying too hard to be something I'm not. I would definitely love me some black stripes though.

I had blackbird stripes last summer and only last summer and took them off at the end of season to get my hood buffed

Hmm, I'll wait for the pics to see if I like the C6's or the TTM's. Also, I am tired of blackbird stripes - it looks hotter without them!
