your just removing the side door molding. i think using a hair dryer and dental floss is the most popular way. i think you just need to lower it and tint it, and you'll be fine.

Tint, lose the molding, new grille, maybe clear signals in the back to match up front, lower it if you can (some areas are just too hilly like mine...) and chrome camaro inserts and think that's it really. I like the wheels, especially if you are going to carry on the chrome theme, they set the car off nicely.

heres my opinion take it for what its worth .......not much LOL.....

remove the side molding
do the whistler headlight mod
billet grill or the SLP grill
drop the car about an inch or 1.5"
tint the windows 5%
Chrome or silver rear CAMARO letters
maybe a CME rear exhaust
leave the front hood grill black, but if you dont it will still look
is the car a v6? if not throw some retro 69 Z28 emblems on it

since everyone has a 98+ SS spoiler on their car how about an LT1 SS spoiler.... its subtle

clear rear sidemarket lights
paint your calipers either black or red

if you can afford it.... CME exhaust....


ok i shall step down from my soap box.... this is what i would do if i owned that car
