Default shes comin' along..pics!

Been a while since i posted, done a few things,

Ditched my color matched stock grille, replaced with SLP Bowtie, painted bowtie hugger orange. Orange Camaro Insert, Orange Retro Nose Emblem, custom 2nd Gen. Badges with Orange Z, took off the side molding, hurst equipped badge(matches color scheme, thought it would be cool since ultimately im trying to do a 2nd gen tribute scheme. Rattle Canned wheels/calibers(still holding up almost 2 months) SLP Lid/Filter, SLP LM1 w/ 3.5" Slash Cuts.

Very near Future appearance mods, 3-4" Cowl Hood, duck tail spoiler(screams 2nd gen imo) New Black Wheels, maybe some torq M's would give a classic look. Lowering Springs, bigger meats.

Whatcha think, comments, criticism!

(Yeaaaaa, I like my Y3F kit, sorry!)

I'm usually not a big fan of orange, but you kept it nice and clean! Subtle, but it really helps compliment the car. Looks great, man!

What springs are you going to go with?

I like the lowering springs and hood idea as long as its a Sunoco.

I would lose the ground effects, spoiler, black wheels and the LM.....sorry. The black wheel thing is win or fail.

I wanna get the 4 or 5 inch(which ever size it is) ducktail 3 piece spoiler, I like it and it will go with my 2nd gen tribute...sunoco cowl is what i was leaning towards...black wheels go with the theme...and why would i ditch my brand new SLP LM1, I love the sound, the low restriction, and I spent weeks deciding on that exhaust... o.O just curious where your coming from..

Subjective opinion. From my view what you've outlined is not pleasing to the eye or ear, lol. As I mentioned, love the hood...black wheels if done right look good. Most dont.....DEPENDS on the wheel and supporting "accesories". My opinion. Lol, LM sounds like butt.... I dont mean to bust on ya. Love the white....great template! Soooooo many options....GL either way.

Using the 2nd gen as reference with the white and orange is very unique without being to gaudy. But to make it get that 2nd gen look lose the ground effects, get a freedom spoiler, and get a sunoco hood

im off and on with the GFX as of lately plus my understanding is that theres a ridiculous amount of holes under that stock body kit on the body if i took it off? I love the sunoco cowl, im definitely going that route...And the Freedom spoiler is a 1-piece? I was looking at the 5" RKSport 3-piece seems like it flows more, dont you think the freedom 1piece looks out of place?

If you get the sunoco hood don't get the really big one... Get the regular low one and either spoiler looks good IMO
