My pockets aren't very deep right now for modding. First thing on my list is wheels/tires. I've got my hands on a set of chrome 10 spoke SS wheels off an 02 SS. Just have to order the bowtie centers and put some tires on them.

After that will be headers and exhaust and a cold air kit. I just don't have anything picked out for doing either of these mods yet. Gary's got some ideas and I've been doing some research so when I have the money, I'll know what I want to do.

I also plan on getting SFC's. And I can get an adjustable pan hard rod IF I decide to go with 315's in the rear.

Appearance mods I'm contemplating for later...I've looked at some VFN hoods not sure which I want to go with tho, but this will be a while off if I decide to get one. I'm thinking of doing the clear corners. I found some HALO projector lights that I'm thinking would look killer on my car. Oh and I want the chrome CAMARO inserts for the rear.

For now that about sums it up...Also, since the car is my daily driver, at least for now, I'm not going to do a ton of performance mods.


some pics of me....

Just IMHO, but I feel both have been played out.
i agree. black and dark purple dont look that great in my opinion. i'd do stainless insterts in the rear but no berger. and i'd go with some chrome wheels and clear corner lights with halo's or the whistler mod. but i love that color! it's gotta be one of my favorites for camaros.

It's actually bright purple - the pic I posted was taken at high noon and it made the car look darker than what it is.

oh ok. still though, i like black accents on lighter colors like silver, white, pewter, etc. but not so much on darker colors. just my opion though. but i love that color! if purple wasnt a chick color, i'd be painting mine purple haha

Funny how everyone says how great color this car is yet if a guy posted this you know this thread would have gone in a totally different direction!!

Great pic Niknik, that's always a great place for a picture. Got chased outta there last year when I was there with the dually...security doesn't really like parking a 1 ton on the sidewalk i guess!!!

uhhhh... how about some more pics of the car, that's just sexy! can't say i've ever actually seen a Z in that color either. and for the record, a satin berger panel on that with some chrome inserts would be way hot. maybe some chrome TTM's or C5 ZO6's and a sunoco hood. time to clean my shorts god damnit!

nice choice, if i owned a 35th i would never change my rims, they look sick. not that i really plan on changing the chrome zr1's that are on mine. im thinking... chrome berger with black insert and chrome accent on every edge of the car. lol. not really. but i saw one (v6 93-97 of course) like that minus the berger while driving the other day, pretty funny. just dont do that. lol. ive never seen the "camaro" painted chrome, take pics and post em up in the detailing section when you do. Im all for the clear corners, they would look awesome as well as a hood.

and nortexls1, your avatar, (i think thats what its called?) is ******* hilarious.
