another "new pics" thread...

just got off of spring break. spent most of the week workin on the Camaro. first night i'm home i pull into the garage and the car starts actin funny. i shut it off and pop the hood then go back to start it and nothin. bad alternator. so the second day of my spring break i had install a new alternator. then i finally got the rest of the suspension parts on. UMI LCAs, LCAR Brackets, and Panhard. also a full detail. wash, claybar, wash, paint cleaner, polish, and 3 coats of wax. here are some pics of all the hard work (not great pics...i was in a hurry to head back to school before it got dark):

loving the new stance:

Looks nice.

You can get the "GTS" off of the blackouts. I actually got mine to come off by wiping it with a wet paper towel and using a little finger nail here and there. It didn't scratch at all.

Nice car, I'd lose the stripes on the roof if I were you. No Chevy's traditionally have racing stripes on the roof...that's kind of a Ford thing.

thanks for all responses and suggestions! definitely going to fix the stripes when i repaint the car and will probably not run them on the roof...got some custom stripes in mind that i'd love to do. still need to get the GTS off the headlight covers...i knew i was forgetting something last week! also, hate to disappoint, but its not an LT1...its a V6. considering the swap though.
