Default My Camaro after 6 years

Well yesterday marked the 6th year anniversary since I got my Camaro so I decided to clean her up and snap some pics of her. Let me know what you think. The last couple pictures are in an area that got burned in the Wild Fires. You know you live in a great are when its almost Christmas time and you can still drive around with your t-tops off.

In 2008 she will be getting chrome Halo headlights with 8000K HIDs along with either black/polished lip or Chrome ZR-1 rims with 17x11 out back and the C5 Z06 brake upgrade








This is my favorite picture










The reflection shot


I know alot of people do not like my racing stripes or the export taillights so please keep negative comments to yourself

Looks real nice man. Looks nicer then alot of camaros Ive seen on this site. Only thing I would do is upgrade the hood. I wouldnt do the SS hood because thats played out but an Ultra Z or whatever you like would be kick *** on ur car.

Nice. The only 2 things I would do are, paint behind the grille black so the red doesn't show through, and smoke the corners. Other than that, looks great. Oh, and I would pass on the chrome halo's, black if anything, but thats just IMO.

Thanks guys. As for the hood I would really like to do the Sunoco but now alot of people are going with that so Im not too sure yet on which hood. Painting behind the grille is something I have been thinking of doing just never got around to doing it.

If God allows me to keep it for alot longer Id love to drop a 427 and a 6 speed with the Sunoco hood and SS spoiler....but thats years down the road.

Really clean car.. Good job! I think that you should change the corners out for some smoked ones. Never liked that way the yellow ones look on a red car.
