Looks good. I think the front will flow better once you buff it.

Looks nice and will look better!

I don't get how it looks like a modded v6. All the camaros look the same, no matter what. It looks like a modded SS to me.

I will say, I was pretty skeptical in the thread where you were talking about this and preparing the parts. I did not think it would turn out like it did at all. I think you did a hell of a job, and even though it is not my style, it doesnt look bad at all.

Not my cup of tea, but it does not look bad. Much better than the sport appearance package ones IMO.

Its not my style either. Go for an SLP SS grill, think it would look better...and take off the blackouts. Good job on the gfx though, although I wouldnt personally do it.

I would have done teh CME with a different GF kit on it, but thats just me.

Oh, and if you don't want to be re-painting that in a couple weeks, then don't lower it, 'cause you will tear that front lip right off.

thanks for all the comments guys, i love the way it came out, just needs a little buff and i should be good to go, i layed the clear on to thick and it didnt lay right, the guys i used to work with work magic, it will turn out 100%....

BITVIPER - i am lowing it, but not to much, maybe eibach 1.3

Titus2669 - the side are not 'suppposed' to be lower, but thats the sacrifice i took to do a differant front lip, but i dont think its too big of a differance

Duffster - i owe u one, thanks again, they came out awesome!!

xtinctz28 - thanks for keeping an open mind threw this whole project, i knew ud like it!

tsw - i see where ur comin from witht the slp grill, but i think it looks mean with the billet, its a mouth or something

blackzcamaro - i seriously thought about the cme for awhile, but i think too many people want it, and i thinki got the look i like, maybe chrome duals on each side in the future

for everyone that said, "it looks like a modded v6" before i owned a camaro, i used to say that same thing to my buddies if i seen one, but now when someone says that about mine when they are next to me at a light, they are in for a treat,hahaaahh (evil laugh)

thanks for all the positive comments guys, i really appreciate it, and to those who dont like it, its not everyones cup of tea, but u have ur own camaro, u dont have to drive mine!,lol

KEEP THE COMMENTS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sides are slightly lower, but you can only really tell if you're looking for it, it doesn't look bad. I went with the Xenon because it matches the side height of the RS kit pretty well.

The height difference between the sides and the front lip is pretty noticeable! Also, I think it would look much better blended. Nice car.
