Default completed my outside appearance! feedback





wetsanded the headlights, 15% tint on everything but the windshield, camaro insert, hood decals, z06motorsports w/chrome rivets, taillight blackouts


the only thing i've yet to do is get HID's for the headlights. and im putting it off, cause its costly as all hell!!

love to hear your thoughts on if anything else should be done?

lower the car and get some different wheels. Almost every F-body has TT2 or corvette wheels.

i got the black outs for the corners... but im wondering how often i'd be getting pulled over... those are blinkers after all.

this is my one and only car, lol.. daily driver, weekend warrior combo. haha


i understand the wheels are popular... but i could care less, there is a reason for it! they look great!

lowering the car is definitely a thought... but im not sure if any of you are familiar with the curbs in florida? well they arent curbs.. they are DITCHES... and i'm constantly scraping something on them, no matter what angle or how slow!

Today 01:10 PM
From New Jersey, live in Florida. Only been here 3 months. Those plates are gonna have to be sent back to jersey in a few weeks.

florida plates are horrendously ugly. Going to have to pay for personalized plates.


any suggestions for lowering methods

spring suggestions?
