Car looks good, have you though about some retro Z28 emblems, I think they would look great on your car.

Pic #4 kicks ***! New desktop , great looking car, real clean. I would say some clear directional lights are in order, they would look sweet.

Man, that location is awesome...who ever found that must be a badass. Anyway, the car looks great, but 3800's still rule!


And by rule, I mean I still get better gas mileage than you (I got 27.8 the other day, btw)

thanks a lot guys

i will eventually get clear corners. i'm not a big fan of the retro Z emblems, although they might grow on me in due time. i REALLY need to paint my calipers red one of these days. i just don't have a place to do it, so i keep postponing it.

thanks again for the compliments when i saw the ad for the car, i didn't like the NBM much in the pictures. when i saw the car in person, "damn, that's the best color on a camaro ever!" i had a white one before this one

and madice - screw you!! 17" looks just as good!!

Hey now!

But the car is coming along nice. It will clean up a lot more once you add clear corners to both the front and rear-side markers (Unless you decide to black em out?). If you want to stick to a clean look do the calipers silver & NBM... if you want that slight contrast the red on the caliper and a black bracket will look good. Either way will be good

That's a very nice and clean ride! Can I make a few suggestions?

1. I'd definately go with the red calipers with chrome Camaro decals on front.
2. Get an aftermarket grille or just take that one off (It looks even better behind the stock grille - especially on NBM).
3. Get a set of Z-28 decals for center caps on rims.

These are only my opinions. Your car kicks *** as it is!

thanks dude! i think the calipers will be painted soon, and i wanted to put decals on the front and the back - is that not possible? and i kind of like the stock grill. if anything, i'd get a stull grill as a replacement, but i don't like the way the bumper looks underneath the grill. and i don't think i'll do the centercaps either, just because i'm not totally sure i want anything messin' up the bling thank you for the suggestions, i might try the z28 emblems in the future!

That sounds cool! Yeah, the decals wont stick on the rear calipers. There's not really a place for them to adhere to. I've got the aluminum Stuhl grill with the '69 "SS" emblem. Looks !

Keep it "Blingin"!

car looks good, (conservative for my liking of course , )but clean and sharp. Love the wheels! I agree, I had my doubts about NBM but now I love it, so glad I got it
