Default New F-Body, appearance ideas, **added new pics**

Just picked up my 3rd fbody, 2002 Camaro Z28(not a v6, someone painted the sail panel body color, which I'm having painted black again asap!) Im trying to come up with a new color scheme, my buddy unvmyss on here whipped me up a quick photochop using his stripe idea, im not feeling gold wheels, but Im starting to think Gold wouldnt be a bad accent color(used in moderation)

Saw that car on CL, looked clean. Thought about buying it but decided I wanted a low mileage car. Did it come with the CCWs? They look sick.

I think the wheels you have would work but you could try pewter inserts with the color scheme

I think a darker shade of bronze would be a good accent color to go with, but not sure on the wheels being gold. Maybe the brakes gold/bronze while keeping the wheels black?

Yea, def. more of a bronze not a bright gold color! And I think your right, I'm not really feeling the idea of having these wheels powder coated o.O the black looks sharp..I kinda "like" the wheels in the photoshop, but I think it would get old after a while

x2 the photoshop has too much going on IMO. I'm a less is more kind of guy. 50k isn't anything on these cars but the one I went with has 8k. You should put up some more pics of it.

Looks good, I think the gold wheels would grow on you pretty quick.

Only thing is the LSX emblems are overkill, one would be good. Either on the quarter panel or the hood. The quarter panel LSX emblem would probably work better if you wanna keep the fender badge so it doesn't look too crowded up front and naked in the back

The black accents with the gold touches in it would look sharp

I was just toying around with some ideas. I suck a photoshop though so it makes it hard to look good. I think the bronze idea is boss personally. Though maybe not the wheels, maybe the calipers

You still have yet to change your sig lol.

And im a huge fan of the ideas! Not a fan of the gold wheels but gold calipers, gold x on the lsx stripe, and other minor gold touches would look mean.
