Default Took some pics of the SS's today.

Here is some pics of my brothers pewter 99 SS and my 00 SS. We decided to wash and wax our cars today and decided to go and take some pics. I used Meguiars NXT tech wax on my white SS and my bro used Liquid Glass Polish. And yes i know i need to lower mine and we also have the clear lenses on the way. Any suggestions are welcome also.

Thanks for all the compliments. The guy my brother bought his SS from had the mirrors and sail panel painted to match the body but my bro wishes it was black.

Yeah he is the one that got me into cars when i was little. He is much older then me so, the only thing that sucks is he is more into handling then racing. But i get him to race every once in awhile. He has Strano springs and Koni's on his car.

just a photography tip - when you're taking pics of cars - unless you intentionally cut out part of the car try to get the whole thing in there with equal borders on both sides, makes for a nicer picture usually.

cars look good thuogh. I see what Monsterz28 is saying, look at the backside (your right) of the front wheel well on the pewter car, looks like a pretty agressive rake towards the back. looks bent somehow to me.

Here is a few more of my car we took that day. I cant decide which grill to get. Its between the black SLP SS grill or the black billet grill. I am also going to get the billet CAMARO insert. What do you guys think?

Im glad both of you took the red bowtie off the berger panel!! I thought I was the only one that did that, or maybe I just havent paid attention to any elses panel. I think it looks much cleaner! Chrome inserts will look good too. As far as a grill, I still think the SLP grill has more class than the billet. I say that and my car has the billet so what do i know! Actually, mine came with the billet and the slp is expensive but totally worth it!
