Cool Whistler mod in RED on Red Camaro!

This is the first time I've done the whistler mod on a car and we went with red for the red car. Car belongs to Y2KSnakeEater.





So what do you think?!

+1. It just looks off, the black rubber between the headlights and bumper really throw it off.

Honestly guys these pics don't do justice. Sunday we have another meeting and I'll get day pics. You know how a flash messes with a color. I wasn't feeling the black rubber either but in the day it doesn't stick out so hard. To the guy with the Honda comment: tell the C6 Vette guys! LoL Thanks for the input so far. Criticism is always taken constructively!

Doesn't look bad, but it looks like its missing something. Like its too much red. I do like that hood though.

You did a good job on it it just makes it look like it's tired.... like the car is going on 72hours with no sleep - I've done that (your eyes get a tad red). Just my opinion though.

Not a fan but if you like it, that's all that matters really.

I think why I'm not really a fan of the body colored housing is that fact that the headlights are obviously meant to be a different part than the body panels (if that makes sense). Painting the housings the same color as the body is like trying to blend them in but there is no way due to the lenses giving a different look to the color and so forth. The headlights are meant to stand out on their own and not be blended in the the rest of the car (is the best way I can say what I'm thinking). There just isn't a continuity or flow to it (from my perspective).

Again if you like it, don't let any opinions in here sway you, it is YOUR car.

Hood is Harwood wide smooth cowl. A guy was selling it local for 250 but it sat wrong in his shed for 5 years and is deformed. So he took $100 and we're hoping it'll Reshape over time.

I get what you guys are saying about the "flow" of em, but it does look better in person. Those lenses were all gazed over and I polished them out and deleted the nipples too. It's not MY car, one of my club member's car.

If you had projectors it would pop more but the reflectors are throwing it off I think.

I think it would look better if you took the time to paint the hood too.

I don't dislike it, but the hood does kinda throw it off a bit. Nice work though.
