alright sweet thanks. i guess ill try darkening the tail lights n corners and hopefully NO COPS will pull me over for it. i got a friend who has his honda civic tail lights blackened n hes been pulled over for music n speeding n they never said anything about the tail lights. they just didnt like him having his headlights blackened so he had to take that off...?

I agree, do what everyone else has suggested and i think some black TTM's would look nice, unless you want the chrome look. Then TTII's.

Some black corners and black rear bumper lights would look good and compliment the black projectors. These are the ones I have.

I would get rims and pull the plastic grille insert out. I like it without it, but you could get an slp bowtie grille or a billet grille and paint it black.

This is what I would PERSONALLY, some may disagree but whatever. Some things you already have, but for the sake of a list I have them added.

- Sunoco Hood from VFN
- SLP Grille
- Torque Thrust II's Possibly With Black Centers
- Center Mount Exhaust
- Black Rear Marker Lenses
- 02 SS Spoiler
- Molding Delete
- DragonZ28 Z28 Emblems
- Some Kind Of Lowering Kit
- Whistler Lights Instead Of eBay Projectors
- Tint
- Stainless CAMARO Fill-Ins
- Remove Factory Ground-Effects

Though this may seem like a lot, when it's all said and done the car will look classy as ****. I'm a big fan of less is more. No need for much else really.

yeah, blacking it out is great. Did mine not too long ago. I'm not a big fan of the projectors, but its not my car either. I did the wistler mod, smoked all lights, tails, and 3rd brake light, using ppg concept clear with some black paint mixed in with it. here are some pics. oh and get someone that knows how to work a buffer, it will get rid of all those nasty swirls if they know what you are doing. if you weren't in CA i would be glad to help on that!

oh and a few more tips, if you ever do get it buffed, only use microfiber cloths and towels to wash and dry it, cause if you use regular rags and towels, it will just go back to looking all scratched and swirled. Black is very hard to keep it looking good and takes extra steps than a normal car.
