Too much black?
Too much black? I'm planning to do some cosmetic work on my '02 Camaro and in planning it out, I'm afraid it will be overkill on the black. The car is of course black, and already has smoked front corner markers. I'm planning to do the Whistler Mod to the headlights, and I was considering giving the tails some VHT treatment. Would that be too much black across the back of the car? I thought about maybe just darkening the rear lights and bumper markers but not going completely blacked out, but not sure how that would turn out. I think one thing throwing me off is the amber in the taillights, and how they would look just being darkened or blacked out, maybe I should trade out for 93-96 tails?
Another idea I thought about throwing in the mix would be the 35th anniversary stripes in silver. I think they provide a little contrast without making the car look too busy, as I want the car to flow nicely from one end to the other.

I believe I already have the SLP grille, with the bowtie emblem. Picked up an SS spoiler as well. I was wondering if they did the stripes in flat black, that looks sick. I don't know about black wheels however, I don't want it to be "murdered out". I was thinking maybe titanium finish CCW Classics, or some Forgestar F14's. The wheels are still up in the air for sure. Would probably set off nicely with some polished emblems? Not big on red accents, feels like every black car gets paired up with red.

Nothing wrong with ALL black imo. If I had a black Camaro, best believe I'm blacking out the ENTIRE thing.
Those pics of that black camaro with flat black stripes Trans Am Jam posted looks freakin' BOSS and I'm not a fan of stripes but that thing looks insane.

Yeah the more I look the more I'm liking those stripes. Almost a ghost stripe that will require a double take. Where can I find those online? And would they work on a Sunoco hood, or only on the SS hood?
The car is currently sitting on Chrome DD C5's, I've considered a polished high end wheel as well. Classics are becoming fairly played out, but on the other hand I haven't seen an F-body in my area with them on. I love the titanium finish centers, but with the car all black I don't think those would work, it would have to be a fully polished or brushed finish wheel.

As for all black, yeah there can be too much. I've seen decked out black cars, with tinted windows, blacked out lights, black wheels, black everything. It's too much for me... But if you're talking about adding the Whistler mod, I don't think that would be bad since it's not a total black out. You'd still have the silver/white of the headlamps themselves to contrast with the black of the car, I think that would look ok. I just say be careful with going 'all' black, but that's my taste...
oh, and I do like the satin black against the black paint. Even though it's all black, it does give some contrast and looks pretty good...
I like this answer. My favorite color combos tend to be white or silver with a lot of black trim and then that little splash of red.

Leave tails red, my suggestion would be LT1 tails. Red inlay for rear Camaro, red calipers, whatever wheels you want. I have a triple black Camaro and that's what I have, minus the calipers but that will be happening at some point.
there is nothing wrong with all black. my car is completely satin black, planning PCing my FM10s either all black or black/polished lip. right now im on black/polished ruff 278's. my corners are black, tails (minus reverse lights) and my drls are VHT'd
Wow that's hot what kind of lights are those I would love to have that color lights and matching fog lamps I would just like to keep my stock lights and just have the bulbs if I can do this will the heat from the bulbs melt my head lights or fog lamps
