Default exterior mod suggestions

my car is NBM, and lowered with a pro-kit....it's pretty much setup for drag racing, but i like to drive it on the street a lot too. i have halo head lights as far as exterior and that's it. i've thought about a billet grille, but don't know which one to get. any other ideas would be great. i have stock z28 wheels for street and drag lites i use sometimes on street. have a prokit drop and clear corners and halos...that's about it. any suggestions or ideas would be killer thanks.

Ultimatly...your wallet will be the deciding factor in this. Hitup the NBM Camaro thread and see what looks good to you, and tweek it so it makes your car stand out.

thanks guys...i actually looked at it right after i posted this. i think i want to get some Z06s like your's skewba for daily driving...they look SCHWEET...i had thought about gun metal ones instead of chrome, and getting a billet grille in gun metal also instead of chrome for a little more subdued look, not so bright like chrome or polished.

Yeah I thought about getting the Hockey Stripes I just didn't want to put that much viynl on my car. If you get the Z06's get 10.5's in the back they make your car look mean from behind.

Here's a quick lil setup for the outside

Do a darker grille IMO, then do the retro Z28 emblems and that'll just make your car standout a lil bit more. Maybe even do the berger back panel, except in a gunmetal or silver and leave the CAMARO as NBM. Clear corners, and think up a custom hockey stripe design so you can make it unique to your car .

i like this idea a LOT...i have seen it on one other car in gunmetal and it was killer. i don't want an SS hood really since it isn't an SS and i wouldn't like knowing that. i do however have an SS spoiler (kinda dumb since i don't want the hood i know...) but i plan on a cowl hood from fiberglass fabricators as soon as i get the car running good again. thanks for the suggestions guys...

Dont do another color tail panel. After I bought my black panel and put it on, my buddy liked it so much he talked my brother into trading him. My brother has a black Z and our friend has a silver one. Long story short, my brother now has a silver tail panel on his black camaro and it looks very weird. Its kinda growing on me, but I still dont like it. It dosnt flow and sticks out like a sore thumb, unlike the black panel as it matches the car very well. If I were you I would put a flat black panel on...it is subtle on your nbm and looks good.
