yup...I'll be the first to say I don't like the paint job....the hood, the fitment of the hood, the grill, the CME without molding, stripe on the wheels, the lug nuts, and lastly the head lights. Not being a dick btw, you asked. I gotta say that it's different though.

The paint job really isn't for me but its your car and it sure is unique so more power to ya. It does need the rear exhaust valance though, it looks a little incomplete without it. Congrats on the purchase!

Just a little too busy for my taste. Maybe with different wheels, stock headlights and painting the mirrors the same color as the upper portion it would look okay.

Someone was asking in another thread about two-tone Camaros, I guess yours is an example. And like I said in the other thread, it would probably look better if they went with the natural cut line to separate the two colors.

The lighted CAMARO is starting to grow on me the more I see it.

Have fun with it. Any changes planned.

BTW, I'm only on my third F-body - 3800 to LT1 to LS1, and I'm sure they'll be more in my future, probably a loaded, low miles, 2002 SS in a few years.

I don't know I don't really mind the colors but maybe the execution....

I don't like how the black on the bumper don't line up with the black on the hood...

Car looks straights though and has plenty of potential....

and if you like it that is really ALL that matters!!

Merry Christmas!

Its always great to see another ls1, the paint isnt my style but still nice to see. I see its got center exhaust, is it a real slp?

Edit, wait. Its a z28 so it cant be an slp. Or can it? I cant remember now lol

Eehh not a fan but its your car. Suggestion: Paint it all black. Fix the allignment on the hood. Whistler Mod stock headlights. Put valance on for the CME. Change wheels.

Looks cool man but here is what I would do first personally if I had it:
Whistler modded stock headlights
Lowered at least 1.5"
Wider rims/tires in the back to fill out the wheel well
CME valance obviously
I think after that you would have a very sweet car.

not a big fan of the paint application but i like the colors.
lowered, etc. i like the headlights, and i think with a different paint scheme the wheels would look more 'in place'. Or if the wheels were all black.
Overall I'd take it in a heartbeat, sure beats what i have! lol
I'm sure it'll look great when you're done modding it to you're personal liking.

Some of these Pebble Beach desk-top judges in here crack me up.

Alot of painters wont paint a straight line over a bump or cowl on a hood because once its all said and done, the straight line really doesnt look that straight. So thats why the paint doesnt line up with the bumper where the hood meets it.
