Default Winter Mods: SLP Grille, Whistler Mod *Pics*

It is unusualy nice in Iowa for this time of year so i spent yesterday afternoon doing the Whistler Mod and also puting on my SLP grille. Two things i've been wanting to do for a long time. So i snapped a couple of pictures outside before i put it back in the storage shed so not really a photo shoot but you get the idea. Opinions always welcome, Thanks!

The only thing I dont like is the red camaro lettering in the berger panel. Also I think smoked corners would really set ofof the front end. Car looks sick bro!

i just love how the SLP grilles set off the front of the car. I consider that a must have mod. my recommendation is to remove the Z28 badges, i know you spent money on them.

Looks good, I think the SLP grille is by far the best looking one. Tastefully done.

Are the SLP grilles still just installed by using double sided tape? I know that's how mine came.

Wow, your car looks REALLY hot ! Makes me like that hood !

I agree on using stainless lettering instead of the red... I think it would match your rims and other emblems much better...

Black housing turn signals are a great call and I would extend the Manta stripe on to the spoiler and hatch...

I really love your car though (good call on the body colored mirrors as well ) and I honestly think those are the best looking Whistlers I've seen What paint did you use for them?

Holy crap, your car is like exactly how i want mine to look, lol. Where did you get them Z badges at? They look awesome. I love the whistlers on a red camaro, looks so sharp. I agree on getting smoked corners as well, would pull it all together on the front end. Do you have 18x9.5s all around? I want to get TTM's but i will probably get 18x9.5 and 10.5 Z06's if the TTMs dont come off of backorder by spring.

Your car looks great man
