Default Almost Done with the Camaro

So i have had this car for more than 2 years now. Its gone through a huge change. see my photobucket to see what i mean. I had an STS kit on there for a couple of months and loved it. dynoed at 400 hp untuned at 5 psi. unfortunately i had to sell it to pay for graduate school. then the oil pump took a crap and i had to rebuild the engine. its finally up and running now.

I installed an H-pipe with magnaflow bullets and corsa clones(gotta thank MeentSS02 for the help and george for givin me the corsas). i love the new exhaust.

I gave it a little wash and snapped some pics today. I used my sisters Nikon D40, amazing camera. Im still learnin how to use it.

so i have been thinkin about doin a flat black manta and flat black berger panel and tinting the taillights about 20%(not to dark) as my last project. what do u guys think??






New brakes and rotors:

Leave the car as is, it's already a nice looking machine.

I say do the flat black manta atleast.. car looks sexy as is, but the manta would add some character and help bring notice to the lines or the car and the hood. As for the berger, I'd do it to match and I think it looks awesome, but it's your call..

Do the Berger panel in satin, it will look killer. I saw a actual Berger car in your color with it, it looked good.


Love the filled in grille to.

car looks sick bro, i love the hp evo's


i say do the manta and do the berger to match it!
OR why not just maybe a silver manta stripe and leaving the berger panel undone. might go with the wheels alil better and be something a lil different
