Default white ss with orange or black....
I'm trying to decide if I should go with a black or the hugger orange. I love the orange, but I'm not so sure it will look good on my car. I have the berger panel painted satin black... Thoughts please?

really just depends on what you want more. both will look good. black will give a more subtle look, orange will be a bit flashier.

I think orange with black rims will look horrible. If you change to a polished or chrome wheel I think it will look 100x better. If you plan to keep the black wheels go black stripes.

IMO change your wheels and get orange stripes, I freaking LOVE the 97 cars...

i kinda agree with all this.

But if you do go orange with the current rims, at least do like orange calipers or something to pull the car together a little more. because right now they'd just look a little out of place.

Definitely go chrome or polished wheels man. And yeah I agree, orange manta will look very good, especially if you ditch the black wheels. White Camaro + hugger orange = sweetness!

As far as grilles, black billet was my choice. $50 on ebay FTW

For the manta I say go satin black to match the berger panel. Then when you change the wheels, go to satin black with them too.

Huger orange would pop more, but it wouldnt match anything.
