Default New pic of the ride.

Well, here we go again....Trying to beat my old record of about 30 posters telling me the car looks like **** and to rip the hood off. Anyway, just got the black ZR1's (17x9.5, 17x11's) on the car and snapped a quick pic, just curious to what everyone thinks. Will get better pics soon.

The car looks like **** and rip the hood off ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

J/K, car looks good with the black wheels. The hood isn't my cup of tea, but if you like it, thats all that matters. Also, it would look better lowered and with a wider tire on the rear.

car looks good, especially with the rims, but sorry, I think that hood does not belong on there.

I think the hood looks cool even though it's an identity crisis. It's unique!

identity crisis

I think it looks great. Black wheels look sweet on white cars, and the car flows real well. Good work!

Thanks all. And a wider tire on the rear.....? Already have a 315 tire.....Guess you really can't see it all too well from that angle, though. As stated, will get new pics soon, especially a couple from the rear. They're not the widest, being they're the Nitto 315's, but I love the look. Also, as far as the hood goes....When money permits, it will be replaced with an SS hood, and as far as more black on the car, definitely planning on the black over the manta ray scoop on the SS hood.

Car looks good man. The only thing I would change is the clear turn signals. I just think they look better than the factory orange on a white camaro. But other than that it looks great. Hurry up and post some more pics! lol...

Ever seen an SS hood on a Firebird?!?
I didn't think so, ..., There's a reason for that, ..., They just don't intermix & flow that well, ...

And I don't really care for the black wheel thing, but it seems okay with a black & white theme you've got going. At least they have the polished lip, ...

But to each their own, ...
