Wow that car looks immaculate..

It seems like everyone does the berger panel these days, why not just get some raised black reflective camaro inserts for the rear, maybe drop it a little bit, and then some corsa clones if you feel like it.

+1 .... I think it looks pretty clean as it sits myself .... it'd look better without any exhaust tips though.

Goods like a good plan man. Thats true about the too much black thing, bergers are nice but everyone is doing them these days so I like the black camaro instert. For such a cheap mod, they really improve the apperance of the rear of the car. The 10 spokes are nice unless you want to upgrade to some more expensive wheels.

I say leave it alone and spend your money in some performance mods, the car looks great like it sits in mostly stock form, plus it'll get you alot more races rather than the modded out look that i have on my Z28

Yeah, its honestly hard to think of a wheel that looks better than my chrome 10 spokes that isn't going to cost e soe serious $$$. Everyone has z06's or zr1's on the white camaros. The car needs a new catback in general. The random tech sounds like butt and looks bad. I was thinking gmmg or b&b.

I really like that plan but if I did only one thing to that car it'd be paint the SS on the grill white. There's one around here like that and it just sets the front off perfectly. It looks like the SS is just floating in there when it comes down the road. Completely BADASS and makes me want a white SS.

Paint the sail panel and grill white (leave the SS black) and get some clear markers.

Lower it, stainless inserts, clear corners, and get your rears widened to 11"s and put some 315's on it. I don't know of anyone that has 11" 10 Spokes. The car would be really clean looking, and definitely set apart.

I wouldn't do the inserts, IMO they look horrible but it's your car.

Chrome against the white won't be too much?
