Looks good! Theres not that much that you should do to your car. Its very clean and I love it.
*EDIT* Paint the rear panel black, that would look really good.

Looks great! A hood and spoiler would improve the look IMO.

Agreed, but it does look really good now, especially with the Z06's

Here's a suggestion...update your pic in your sig so we don't think you have a 4x4 anymore Lookin good...oh, and if you want a real suggestion, some nicer exhaust tips are always a plus. The rears of Camaros always look unfinished compared to the T/A...guess that's why I love my CME so much. It really helps to finish off the rear...

Thanks guys for all the comments/suggestions. i very much know I need to paint behind my grill - it looks like *** when looking at it head on. Hood and spoiler have always been in the back of my mind but not in the near future. I've also been wanting to ditch the hooker exhaust tips and get somethin that really stands out. You can't even see that they're there unless looking at the side.

Keep 'em comin!

I don't think you necessarily need the SS hood and spoiler (unless you just really want them) to enhance the look of your exterior. Paint behind your grille (like I know you're already going to), do the Berger panel mod (maybe w/ gloss black though) with chrome "CAMARO" inlays (to tie in w/the Z06's) and some different exhaust tips, possibly some Corsa Premium tips (much better than a CME). Your car's already super clean.

Car looks awesome...I agree with all of the suggestions made...my vote is for the CME! However, your car looks very sweet just as it is...you don't NEED to do anything...nice work!

I wouldnt call that slammed, but it looks really good :thumbup:



dont get the ss hood and spoiler. they are not functional performance wise and are therefore rice and a waste of money IMO.

better to invest your money in the suspension or engine.

Nah the LTs aren't here yet. I do have hooker catback with 3" pipe which sits incredibly freakin low. There's no dents/grooves on the pipe anywhere and at the lowest part it sits 2"!!! But whenever the LTs get here I'm gonna have beter clearance with the ORY.
