Looking for input... I've got a stock 2001 Red Z28. This weekend I'm getting the windows tinted (dark black), black stripes put on, new Infinity speakers and a Pioneer head unit (love the mosoon one, but bought it used and 2 speakers were blown and the head unit was missing 2 buttons..********.) Just from looking around here I'm thinking of ordering the chrome halos, clear turns (front and side), and new tail lights. Any suggestions on the tail lights (pics if possible please) or anything else I may be missing? Thanks!!!!
Dont get new tail lights. Just get the black covers. they run you 50 bucks at local auto stores and they will go great with your setup. Whatever you do DO NO GET THE IMPORT LOOKING EURO TAIL LIGHTS! they look horrible and are a disgrace to our vehicles...

Biggest tip: Don't be the average boring old SS hood no-gfx zr1/y2k/insert-popular-rim-here, stock-looking Camaro. Do something different, even if it goes against what was said above. I've seen a few euros that look really good on Camaros. It all depends on the theme and the overall changes to the car.

Meh, even if you wanna be different and put stuff like black tailights it still looks like ****! be creative with your color scheme and don't mess with your tails! Maybe a berger panel or somethin.

As to the question on what a Berger panel is... it's when you take the tail light filler panel (the panel that says 'Camaro' on the back between the tail lights) and paint it flat black. Berger Chevrolet, here in Michigan, made some performance edition Camaros, called Berger Camaros. People liked the look, and now people slap on a berger panel while they smack people for putting a z28 badge on a v6 Camaro.

Way to try to fit in. Personally, the only reason I got my zr1s were because they were black with the polished lip and they went with the color scheme of my car... if I saw another affordable set of rims with black and polished lip that looked good, I might've gone with them instead.

btw, putting a Z28 badge on a V6 is stupid because it's a V6, not a Z28. i have an SS hood on my car, but i dont tell people it's an SS.

As for the badging thing, though... I agree. But the point I was making is that putting a Berger panel (which is one of the definitive "badging" for the Berger camaros..) on a z28 or a v6 is just as bad as flaunting a z28 badge when you really have a v6.

Actually I have euro tails. Custom tinted, but regardless when they light up they're euros. And I'm just waiting for my Z-roc hood to come so I can have that and my spoiler painted and installed.
