I like the picture with the orange hockey stripes. Just as I thought it would look...pimp!

Now get some classic torq thrusts on there with the charcoal spokes and you'll be all good.

Hockey stripes are where it's at, there's another style out there that looks even cooler.

PlowTown,

That was one hell of a clean looking Z. I don' t know why, but I've always loved the look of the 98-2002 Camaros in white. They just seem to have a unique style about them. Usually white looks bland on most cars, but the fluid lines of the Camaro really set the color off.

My thoughts.

This tip gets my vote. If my car wasn't black, this would be one of my first appearance mods.

Rick, I used a fiberglass resin to fill in the camaro letters. Sanded it down then put a little bondo over that, just to smooth it out. Then sanded, primered and painted. Yes it is Satin Black. Got the rear panel from a buddy of mine localy off a parts car, picked up everything at a local pep-boys

Also, look into black wheels. I'm not generally a fan of them, but I like the ones with the polished lip. I've been considering these or the charcoal ones mentioned before. I also have the Berger mod and a black stull grille on the front. It definitely breaks up all the white.

For some reason, I think white is one of the sexiest colors on Camaros.

HUH? A 98-02 CE TA that's black with a grey panel? Yeah...you'll be looking on Google for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time before you find any CE's that are NOT 2002 and Yellow.

Good man.

White = Camaros
Black = Trans Am

No exceptions.

not what i meant... what i meant was the CE had a black pannel on the bottom near the exhaust....


someone was having me look for a car that was 98-02 and black with the bottom pannel a different color (grey/green/white/whatever)


i said it can't be found... so i was proving myself correct by trying to search for it
