From Ricer, to Nicer. Well guys, after months of changing my car, it's basically done. After getting bashed for what the car used to look like, I've been changing the whole car's cosmetic's. If anyone remembers, I had a riced out Camaro, not my doing, but still bought it from the previous owner.. But as I said, I was bashed, and was insulted. But, I took the insults as constructive criticism later on. Either way, here's my 2000 SS. From ricer, to nicer.

Thanks 98CayenneT/A! And yes I was bashed pretty hard, it was quite embarrassing. lol In all honesty, I did think the previous design was "unique" but after seeing this car as it is now, I don't regret my decision. At the time I was just excited to own my first camaro, wanted to show it off. As you saw, that wasn't such a great experience. But hopefully I'll get more respectful words than hurtful. Again, thanks for the kind words, I've been waiting for a long time to come back here and show off what she looks like now!

Some have said the same thing as you. I do have some pics of the car when it still had the wing but had these C6 Replica's. It wasn't bad, but at certain angles the wing was a little weird. Besides the wing was scraping the quarter panels and ended up eventually taking off paint and slightly denting it. Whoever installed the wing, didn't put on all the gasket's (if that's what they're called) on so it just kept rubbing. I appreciate your input, thanks!

I agree, these cars can look ricey pretty easily, and personally Idk why vendors sell some of the stuff, but as they say, to each his own.
I appreciate the compliments on the stripe. Had mixed feelings but I think it turned out great. The stripe actually was a cover up for some left over stripe that was baked into the paint. Luckily it was baked in that area only. lol Heres a pic of it a day before the stripe.
