just an opinion, but have you thought about getting the old 67-69 style engine pins like "350" and put it on the front fender, or Z/28, like old school to break up the door a lil?

i bought the Novus polishing kit and redid my headlights on my '98. they were CRAPPY, could never even see the bulbs. i wet sanded them (sitting in my living room 
) with 600 and 1500 grit sandpaper (got it from a body shop for like 5 bux), then used the 3 step novus kit that was 14 bux. they came out like new 
since then i've done the tail lights on my moms truck, as well as her front blinkers. the more elbow grease you put into them, the better they will come out.

and thats the kit i ordered
if your headlights arent too bad, you could probably just skip the wetsanding process all together and move straight to the 3 steps.

oh BTW i like the paint job alot! i saw a post of yours yesterday and i was going to send you a PM asking for more pictures, you musta read my mind.
i like the black center / chrome lip wheels, but i dont think i would have done them in z06's. plus a lowering kit would do your car up RIGHT!

i may try that polish, thanks for the info. I am thinking bout lowering it, my nephew has a 98 TA that he just bought a bilstein kit for that had struts, shocks and springs and his car came out lookin nice, much more agressive stance to it. its gettin about that time for new struts anyway so i may go that route also, but i gotta get a clutch first.

I would have to disagree with everyone saying clear turn signals, I would have to say the opposite and put BO's on those signals. Make the front end look a little cleaner, in my opinion. Then I would definatly agree with the halo lights or painting the stock ones black. Dropped a little would look sweet! Maybe some black filler stickers, or whatever they're called, for the "CAMARO" on the back. And something to give the hood some personality, new hood or decals. And I would get rid of the banner. Other than that, I really like the setup! Congrats! (just my opinion!)

We're not talking about simple little things like how a Ford 302 is really a 4.9, but these are engines that are worlds beyond their SBC counterparts and should be addressed accordingly.
