98 and up all the way guys, the lines just more smooth and agressive and the lines seem alittle generic on the 93-97!! Its funny how most of u guys SAY 93-97 but actually voted for the 98-02!!!

Looks great. So what did you form your cowl with, clay? Bondo? Other?

If clay, did you have to wait for it to harden before making the mold?

Sorry for the 1000 questions.

plaster and a lil bit of bondo to modify the hood insert area. the bottom half of the hood ie: support/threaded area came off of a seperated ss hood i had. epoxied both halves together. and did the finish work with gel coat and shot it all black. the hood has still not completely cured after a year.

Your car is sick!
Is that the stock paint, and what color is it?

I normally hate bachelor red, but that has a nice dark metallic pitch to it...very nice.
I was going to get that grill, but we have to have license plates front and back in NY.

It sure is the stock paint. Other than my front bumper (where some dumb old lady backed into me) and my rear quarterpanel (where some drunk ******* bitch sideswiped me), it is the stock paint. Zaino does wonders!

I love the Power of the 98-02 SS SLP... but i hate the "Haifish" look! Really a bad front with the lights! They are very disgusting.

Both great cars.
98+ took awhile to me to warm up to with the front but now I like it better then the 94-97.

The drive train on the 98+ is light years ahead of the LT1 *not to say its a bad motor at all* I like the interior more on the 98+ as well.

93-97 body style is way more aggressive looking IMHO, but you can't beat the power of the 01-02 LS1.

i just like them both.. sometime i thin the 93-97 look a little bit cheap somehow.. but after i drove an M6/ls1 there is no turning back.. i like the sound of the lt1 more but the ls1 is just so much more fun

Some LT1s and LS1s look stupid. I would probably say that more LS1s look better than LT1s. Camaros that is. I also like the 93-96 interior way better than the newer stuff. It seems more like a race car.

Firebirds look far better in LS1 trim.
