PRESENTING the GOOD pictures!












Once she dries out, the Dustop cover I had made for her will go on and she'll stay tucked away till I get back.

Thanks! I can't even describe how long it took me to do decide what to do to a white SS. I've been toiling over this for years now.

Thanks. I may toy with other grill idea's in the future, out of curiosity, but I, unlike most people, didn't really mind the stock grill. :o

I think the grille looks good. Better looking than the no grille look, and the slp look. jmo

As far as fill-in's or badges.....I'm pretty sure they just put the SS emblems back on the rear, and other than that, I haven't thought about anything else on there at all.

Some 35th camaro fill-ins would compliment it nicely

A T-Top conversion is EASY! You could do it in an afternoon for under $500... Trust me I know, I've done quite a few !

I think your car looks great! The Manta is perfect, the white grille looks great and the white leather is just the icing on the cake !

I would body color the mirrors (paint them white), put stainless steel/chrome CAMARO fill-ins in the back and get some type of black rim with a chrome lip to it and then watch everyone drool

Oh yeah, black "SS" embroidered on the seats could be killer as well Hell, while you're at it give the seats some charcoal suede or houndstooth inserts
