The chrome 16s from the '97-'99 Camaros are nice and yours appear to have cleaned up well, I still have a set in storage myself. I would dump them quick if they were the '00+ version though.
Only 8 hours? You move fast Dave. 12-14 hours is my norm for a complete annual detail on a car that's been regularly maintained at show levels. To bring one back from having been a driver, it would probably be double that time or more.

I don't want to know the total time spent lol..... I know I hit double digits today finishing the exterior and doing the interior today.
Sadly I'll be honest and barely touched the engine bay since I've only put 800 miles on it since the last time the engine was detailed.

Furthermore, if you wanted new caps (which also come with the new lug nut covers built in), you can apparently still get these from GM under a new part number (9592666).
I was torn on keeping these too, as my '98 came with the same wheels. I ended up taking them off, in favor of some chrome SS wheels, at around 12,000 miles and put them in storage. I still like them though, and I'm not really bothered by the 16" diameter, but I do wish they could hold a wider tire like the one-inch-wider SS wheels. Something like a 275/45/16 would look nice and be just about the proper overall tire diameter, but I don't think anyone even makes that size.

Here's a few pictures of the show. Sadly I got there later into the registration time do I was in the annex part. Oh well I had fun and so did the family.
My son loved the mini vw bus...

Thanks for posting the pics. Glad you had a good time. I also like my original 16" chrome wheels even though I can't get the Goodyear tires for them anymore. I'm a 'stock' guy who also thinks the factory exhaust sounds just fine.
