So are you saying you don't like the z71 off-road package? Haha, yeah i know it does. But, it's a daily driver and I am not about to just slap in some lowering springs and have it ride like ****. So unfortunately until i can afford a koni/strano setup(should be soon) it will stay with stock suspention.

Your car looks great, the small stuff makes a big difference. Stainless "Camaro" inserts in the front grill would look good.

I think the whistler mod looks best when paired with smoked corners. I personally prefer the look of clear on clear. I am going to freshen the headlights up soon. So, i think it will look a little better soon. I also actually just bought an SLP grill a few minutes ago.

Put the front plate where it belongs or remove it quick. It looks horrible where it is... Other than that and a drop it looks good
