I have never been a fan of gold cars, but damn you have one clean one on your hands.
Great work.

Beautiful car! I really like the color. I've never seen a Camaro that color before. I love the wheels. As far as ground fx go, your's looks good. I've just never really liked ground fx. But, then that's my opinion and it's your car. Good job.

The question about the ground fx front--it sits in the grooves that the original bumper has. It is move of a cover than anything as the actual front is still underneath. Thanks everyone! Those wheels really helped out the look of the car since the ground fx are so big, and my 17/18 C5 combo just did not look big enough. The small Koni SA drop helped out too. Cannot go any lower and drive it with the deep tranny pan/ground fx!

Looks good, ..., & sometimes it's good to be different, ...

I agree about going with the CME tips.

Your ride is very unique, wish I could say that for mine. Hopefully someday.

Thanks! I have the dual cme coming with valence. Do you all think I should just change to the dual tips and leave the quad valence or change also to the dual valence?
