Default New Pics with a few changes.

Well as for the 97... new Kumho 245/40/18 tires, painted red calipers, and re-painted the rear camaro letters silver instead of red. I repainted the letters silver since my new racing stripes came in and they are silver.

The 02 received a new billet grille with 69 blue bowtie emlblem and a pair of Mickey Thompson's street radials (those will go one in two weeks for opening day at the strip).

Any thoughts of what should be next?

99camarosupersport- I know you hate those body kits, but I love them. Camaros just don't look right without it IMO. As for the blue bowtie, I have custom emblems coming from dragonZ28 and blue 35th LE stripes will be going on soon.

Ill tell you what, Ill think about ditching the body kits when you stop liking the Colts. They SUCK!

1SicV8- Thanks. I'm planing on new wheels next summer. New tires and Street radials this year was expensive due to shipping up to Alaska. Also wanted stainless steel SS and RS emblems all around. You think that will look good?

Yeah... I did read. You don't have an SS. I'm not gonna get into with ya though. My stance is if it ain't an SS, don't use the badges. That's cool though, it's your car, not mine!

phantomzer0- I know I dont have a true SS, but its really not an RS anymore either. I could of had custom emblems that say "MUTT" but SS/RS just seems better. Also I'm proud that it was originally a RS, and I will never claim that the car is just an SS even if I had the spoiler and wing.

they rs/ss emblems dont look right, they are different fonts, if both the rs and ss where done in the same font, and same color, maybe Stainless steel, they might look good. i dunno though

maybe get a custom emblem that says LS6 or something
