Alright, I need some opinion from my fellow forum members here on my car. Just a few small appearance changes/additions I have been thinking about doing with the car and I just can't decide so need some opinions from others.

As the car sits. Due note I plan to get a SS spoiler and Suncoo hood in the future, also the rusted up flowmaster is long gone car has full new exhaust now.





Now, I was debating doing the whistler headlights with black corner lights and a berger panel before I did the spoiler/hood but I just can't decide if I want to or just keep it how it looks now with the clears and non berger mod? Thoughts everyone?

I think it looks good as is but the sunoco and ss spoiler would be a nice touch.

Not a fan of the tips, but then I saw that it's been replaced! Other than that, looks really clean!

I've got a red LT1 and i went the whole Red/Black route. Black corners, black side markers, VHT'd tail lights and black berger. I can honestly say i like your car having the clear corners and body colored berger with inserts just because it's *NOT* like every red camaro out there. To me, it makes it look so much cleaner looking. I would probably switch my car over to that combo if it weren't for the LT1's having racoon eyes.

If anything, i'd say get an SLP or RK sport grill and call it a day

I vote just the Whistler headlights. No Berger and leave the clear corners.

I say pass on the berger too. In my opinion the berger panel on the red camaro is kind of played out. Whistler the headlights and maybe tint the sidemarkers.

Whatever you do leave the awesome retro grille alone.

Whistler and smoked corners would look good, same for the berger to match the black grille.

Thanks everyone for the input. As for the berger I have decided that Ill probably leave it as it is for now. Once I do a SS spoiler then I will decide after looking at threads of pics it seems to fit/flow better with a SS spoiler vs the regular flat spoiler. Probably change the back inserts to black though over the silver or get some stainless steel ones.

As for the front I think im set on the whistler with black corners would look very nice with the grille.

The changes look good, but actually I like it better the other way. I haven't seen a lot of red/silver accent Camaros and it gave it a unique look, especially with the silver wheels.
