Default Finally got some pics

i haven't been around this site too long, but i finally got some pictures taken of my car (after a new paint job due to some idiot keying it). its stock, no major mods, but i did paint the calipers a few weeks ago and i'm very happy with the results. hopefully when i graduate from college this december i'll be able to do more...if you get time, let me know what you think.

where did you get the camaro letters.
did you have to take them off to paint or can you leave them on and get away with painting them and still look good.

thanks for the comments everyone...its good to know that a stock camaro can look good too! as for the caliper decals, i put them on AFTER painting the calipers...i definitely would not suggest putting them on before then trying to paint around them.

the CME is probably the best thing i like about my car...its still unique and you don't see too many of them. i've thought about chroming the tips...but the pics of black powdercoated tips have also got me thinking lately.

Stangkilr....i'm not sure if i've met you or not...i get people talking to me all the time at gas pumps and such. its possible that we could have met, but its also VERY possible that someone just has a stock ss that looks exactly like mine!

I wouldn't change a thing about the exterior appearance. Of course the right aftermarket wheels can make a world of difference, but your chrome stockers look good too!
