Default Freshly detailed!!! Stranos, 19's, work in progress!!

Just got the detail done all by hand!!! Stranos, Ruff Racing 19's, Bilstein SLP's and few other things. Windows will be tinted this weekend, the crappy headlights are spares to my whistlers are done, and have chrome inserts for the rear. Any other appearances mods that I should do or change?

Looks good, and sounds like the few changes to come should make it look even better!

only things I'd suggest.. I think the stock red side markers would look better. And personally, i'm not a fan of the drop strano's offer.. they look good in the rear, but always seem to have a really bad reverse-rake, the front never seems to come down low enough. I know they get praised for their performance, just wish they were better in the appearance category..

either way though, clean car!

I agree I hate the reverse rake look so let me ask you what springs did you use?

BMR or Eibach pro-kit would probably fix that.

personally, if i really wanted whatever extra performance that seems to be touted with strao's, i'd get the BMR lowering A-arms, which drop the front down an extra 1" .... they run like 450-500 or so I believe. someone in the suspension section of the forum did exactly that after getting the strano reverse-rake, came out looking great!

I'd wait a few miles, so that the fronts can settle in.

I think I might wait a while and see if the front settles in some more but I do love the idea of the lower a-arms and might be an option in the future. As far as looks what do you guys think about adding the stainless steel Z28 badges that specialized stainless sells?

It always seems to be camaro's that get that reverse rake, at least most of the time.
