Default New pics of my Z28

Well last time I was able to wash my car was the weekend before the San Diego Wild Fires. So yesterday was the first time I was able to get her all cleaned up with a coat of Zaino.

I like it! Only suggestions I would make would be maybe to lose the stripes....and paint behind the grille area, or step it up and get an SLP grille....

First of all they do have a curve in them and second of all close stripes look like crap on Camaros. My stripes are the same distance apart as any other Camaro SS with stripes, they just dont come together at the front bumper

Stripes just don't look good on a Z28 hood altogether (IMO). They will only flow well with an SS hood.

yeah but you dont have an ss hood, so it looks out of place and random. i mean overall i would not want stripes on a Z28 without an ss hood or something b/c it looks out of place......your car would much better without them...give it a not so cheap look....IMO
and as for the stripes above, i dont like them that much i just like more than yours....

Well thanks for telling me my Camaro looks cheap and thank you for letting me build it my way.....

Loooks great! But i agree with LS1Camaroguy, you need to paint the area behind the grille black. Also blacked out corners/clear corners
