Default What can I do to my car......

to enhance it's appearance. I am getting bored with the current look. Thanks for any ideas in advance. Forgot to mention it is already lowerred and I plan on getting a billet grill shortly.

Lose the blackouts, get clear corner lenses (looks the best on a white car imo), cowl hood, and some aftermarket wheels. Or trade it for a T/A. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

Sorry lighter weight camaro got me in the 10's on the last car and plan to do it again with this one. That weight difference between the 2 is a few tenths. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I had a chance to get my 01 WS6 and passed it up. <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

The picture you posted looks good of the NBM color car. I had those Weld Wheels on my car and I loved them so much. Wish I never sold them. I'd say go for an aftermarket hood, and I think the billet grille looks good, but only seen it on darker colored Camaros.

Your car looks clean as well. As far as a hood only one I would get would be the SS hood. I am not a fan of cowl hood on an LS1.

I would not put on a billet grill unless you plan on painting it black underneath, other wise the white will show through and look stupid. I would lose the blackouts IMO and add some clear corners.

I added clear corner lenses to my white 2000 and really like them. I would suggest RK sport Puffy black letters in the Camaro section of the back of the car. Also, I got my front grill painted gloss black and it owns. Either get the factory one painted or get an slp one...i like the gloss black far more than the billet look =)

yeah...

SS spoiler
different hood? cowl or firehawk type
clear corners
lose the blackouts
how about those euro tailights that just switch the red/yellow?
some Fiske FM/5's(those are my favorite, but a fortune)
something with the z28 emblems? maybe a painted color to match some SS stripes" i know that's on the edge of ricey, but it is different
i like the grille rob raymer has on his car compared to the billet one. atleast i think that's the one i'm thinking of

good luck man
