i would do a gloss black berger panel, and lose the z28 emblem, 98-02 ss spoiler, springs then call it a day. btw i think the black z emblems look good on the sides with your color.

Id say paint the grill black, !badge/!molding, & paint spokes on your rims. You dont see too many people who paint and leave the lip polished on ZR1's, but i think it looks good. A cowl hood would look sick on your car along with the straight wing lip thing like the Sunoco car.

ive considered doing the berger panel. and taking the side molding off. sry but i like my wheels the way they are. i also like the idea of body matching the door handles and mirrors. so yall think a cowl hood and ss spoiler would look good on it? what about the tips..ditch them or keep them?

lower it. some type of hood/spolier combo (whatever you like). paint your calipers and put on the chrome-look vinyl camaro lettering on the front ones. then continue with the theme you started and get the stainless emblems. My opinion that the theme of a car should be balanced. you have the base color (which is the green body, obviously) the secondary, in your case black (headlight buckets, behind the grille, mirrors, roof, windows, corners, markers, and tails) then the "trim" color which you have started with chrome/stainless (wheels and rear inserts)

Red or silver would make them stand out nicely. Although i do like the black alot better than any other color. Then add a Camaro / Camaro Z28 decal on and clear over them. I had mine like that for 3+ yrs and never once had an issue.

Oh and the headlights , i was just throwing stuff out there, no telling what some one would like. I don't think they look too bad, but thats just my opinion. I'm just thinking things that would make your car stand out thats all.
