hey wha kind of camera do you use? i try to take pix (digital) and i keep shaking, shaky hands any recomendations??

 

get yourself something to set the camera on, tripod, milkcrate, anything sturdy. And tint should not that expensive at all I got my car tinted for $140, just find a quasi ghetto shop, make sure they do good work, walk in with a wad of cash and tell them that you will give them X amount of money, name your own price, to tint your car right now. I have found that works better than anything for getting a good deal for labor when it comes to tint and stereo places.
Good luck and use the suggestions posted already.

A friend of mine says he knows people that will tint my car for $40 bucks. So I figure they must be using wal*mart tint and not be doing a very good job. Is my assumption probebly right??

 

only way to find out is if he has some pictures of his work to show his craftsmanship, anybody with a good head on his shoulders will have some pix of thier work to showoff. Just like upholstry shops, Lemme see some of your work and I'll see if we can deal or not.

 

True I have a fealing this is a bunch of kids whove dontit and there civics though.

 

Wow, a lot of great looking pewter cars... I have yet to be disappointed in my color choice!

The first pic is a pretty good pic of the headlight mod. I have used transparent paint before and good luck with that?!? I would try putting window film on them before transparent paint IMO.

My window tint was $230 at Auto1 they did a very good job on the back glass. 15% only 50% side, I would do 35% side next time.

Billet grill is starting to grow on me... I may try that.

I love your panel... Makes me want to do a shiney black

FOr people cheap on money like me, check out my ride! Lots of little things go a long way!

 

ok i bouihgt a billet grille thats coming in the mail. what do i paint back behind the grille??

 

I am absolutely in LOVE with 01pewter's Z!!! Seriously, I want a calendar of JUST your car!

 

There will be a "grille" behind your stocker that looks something like this -



Now depending upon the look you're going for will depend on what you're going to paint. If you want your new billet grille to just stand out, paint the area w/ the CAMARO black. You could just leave it pewter. You'll probably get more offset w/ the black from the billet, vs leaving that area pewter but I dont think either way is really "wrong".

 

Post pics when you get it done! I think I'm going to do a billet grill also. I have seen painted black and unpainted and I like the one painted flat black better, looks cleaner IMO.

Or you can just yank the grill off, find out it gouged the paint, add a pinstripe to cover the line up and never decide what to do after than like I have done.... lol

I guess I've posted the same pics of my car on here too much if other people are posting them

Oh, I love the retro Z28 look also, great job!

Ok as of right now I have new badges, niteshades covered tailights, a billet grille, the whisper mod. I have a used hooker catback on the way to my house now. I plan to do a little painting behind the new front emblem badge I bought, and am gettin the windows tinted soon. Maybe ill be able to post pictures soon.

 

Does anyone know if theres a hood scoop to make the stock hood look like a ss hod and have pics

 

Man, I really dig this pewter f-bod thread. Makes me want to throw in just a couple more pics

 

I LOVE MY PEWTER

 

When you pull off the stock grille and set the billet grille in place you will see where to paint. If you decide to go black behind the grille you will have to mask off and paint behind it so it looks like this.

 

there's a thread going around here that has the same ting your asking, https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...3&goto=newpost

 

I have to post up some pics as well....

I love pewter on a sports car... so clean and classy....

Mine isn't a T/A but it still gives a couple ideas...
