I would also fill in the rear letters. I don't like the clear corners on a black car.

Some chrome 5 spoke SS wheels would really set that car off.

I was thinking just the opposite. EVERYONE on this site has inserts or painted the trim. I personally never liked that. I like this car the way it is. Looks well maintained too.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm planning on filling in the letters with chrome inserts and chrome wheels later on.

As for maintained, I try my best. When I got the car in December everyone told me I would wreck it, or I wouldn't maintain it because of the fact of me being the age of 16. So I set out to prove all of them wrong, and there is nothing I love more than the car. So I do my best to take care of it and always keep it looking good so people won't think "Oh theres that trashy redneck car" (i live in alabama....so go figure what the opinions of biased people's are..)... But anyways, I appreciate the good comments guys. Take care of yourselves.

I agree with this guy. The letters look nice embossed - no need to "bling" them up. Your car looks great. I would do tint and 17x9.5 / 11 chrome ZR1s!!

Appreciate it. Little pissed right now, I was ran off the road 3 times all by women talking on their cell-phones not paying a lick of attention... This should be one of those 10 commandments...Woman shall not drive and talk on cell-phones... ( I apologize to those women that can do it responsibly and not run people off....) Anyways whats i'm planning on doing with the camaro once i get enough money (might be a while since i'm paying for car payments, insurance, and gas... )

list goes as:
Chrome letter inserts
mayb diff rims like Tq thrust2's or something im not sure yet
change out the interior to mostly black w/ yellow embroid. on headrests and seats.
mid-range cam
headers
12 bolt
heads
410's

after all that I beleive i will be done for the rest of my life. Until I decide i need a twin turbo set-up for ***** and giggles... Anyways, take care of you all, thanks for reading my boring statements...Any criticism welcome, I'm all open, you guys know immensely more about this stuff than I. But, I am a lover, a begginner, and a person to carry on the domestic life of camaro's.

Thanks,
Caleb
