I would start with some rear CAMARO black fill in letters. Thats what I did to my Sunset Orange Z28 and it brought out the rear alot more the not seeing the CAMARO in the rear.

instead of getting the black fill-in letters, just paint the rear panel black, leave the letters white, or fill em w/carbon fiber, or whatever...... i LOVE the way this looks..... not my car, but if i had a white Z, this is the first thing id do no doubt. just my .02



its Arctic98z's car...... sweet ride....

Im not sure if the things i have done so far are an improvement or not,I added the wings west grill insert,but its white,I had black mirrors but I painted them white too.
I have thought about the black filler panel for the back,but with the ss inserts.I think that would look good.
I am going to get new wheels chrome z06 17x9.5 18x 10.5.that will show the red calibers better.But not sure what else.
A buddy of mine has a body/paint shop,he said he could do some ols school flames for me.start white then go to yellow then orange. Undisided on that.
Thanks for the input guys.

Hey, you beat me to it. Thanks for the compliment

White wasnt my 1st pic but has definatly grown on me. Almost wouldnt have it any other way now. I had the black fil-in's for a while then decided to try something different. I thought the black panel would be too much of a contrast on a white car but turned out good. Check out www.arctic98z.com for more pic's

My little brother has orange hockey sticks on the side of his white Z28, made his generic *** Z28 turn a lot of heads. I wish I had pictures for you, there are decals similar on a non-sponsor site if you search around

Found these on cardomain, I love the way the black stripes look! I think they are the same stipes I had on my '99, RKsport brand.

I like the idea of Orange hockey stripes. Don't do orange racing stripes though, that's been done, and done, and done, and done!

Think about getting yourself some 18" rims and powder coat or paint the spokes/centers grey, or charcoal. Charcoal rims look bad *** on white cars. Trust me.
Kinda like the classic torq thrust wheels that people are getting now. Those would be sweet. Then put some BIG brakes in their, or even some Eradispeed rotors with painted calipers, and you're car will definitely not be boring anymore.

I like what you've done so far, it's simple and clean. I like white with red and carbon fiber accents myself. I dream a lot, so that would be ideal in my mind. White car, with red accents and full carbon interior. I like the look of the red calipers, I say you keep going with that, charcoal is an awesome idea as well. I personally don't like red and orange, but it tis' your car.

That red looks awesome with the red brake calipers, but that silver looks CLEAN like the rest of the car. Either one would look kickass!

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 and you'll be all good.
