Default SS 'Vert on CCWs
I just picked up a '99 Triple Black SS 6-speed. I got around to putting on an SLP grille, Export Tails, and some CCW 505A's. Springs and clear corners next!

Let me know what you think!

Don't get much better than that. Love the wheels!
I also agree on the cage...hard to beat the look of a convertible with the top down and there stands a cage.

Haha thanks man! I doubt you'll be jealous when you see the upkeep.

I agree on all of those ideas, but I only want to do things that are easily reversible and I'm on a bit of a budget

I couldn't agree more!

If anyone sees a cheap 'vert cage, PM me!

Looks great! It's going to look even better once it's lowered some. What size CCW's are they?

What center caps are they? When I ordered my CCW Center Caps, I was told there was only 1 option and yours look different than mine.

I bought these used and they were purcased a few years ago, so I'm guessing it's changed since then. I have two sets of CCW wheels, and my others have different center caps.

These are fully plastic with a metal look to them. My others are a solid chunk of metal.

That's a perfect setup - the 18/19 fit it perfectly. Did you have them on your Z06?

I'd keep the headlights as-is. It's refreshing seing another Camaro without aftermarket or blacked out headlights.

These were built for a C5, but I bought them specifically for the SS. I got a new set of HREs for the Z06 this year.

Beautiful!

As mentioned, consider the whistler mod in semi gloss or gloss black and make sure the lenses are brand new. I would also add "CAMARO" chrome letters on the rear, smooth locks all around, a gloss black license plate frame to blend it in a little nicer, tint the rear side markers, and maybe a 6LE dual exhaust valance painted to match to clean things up a bit. Just my .02 cent.

Very nice find!
