I hate to talk smack, but I'm with the 'Pics look horrible' crowd. I take better pictures with my HTC EVO cellphone.

My Camaro is just as tall. Luckily I'll be dropping it soon.

Imma give you his Cell number and you guys can bitch at him. Lol..... I was just merely showing my car off. i'm not a photographer. So I can't help that the pictures suck. I noticed they were really bright and grainy but fight really think much of it. And I don't like the gender badges either, that's why they are coming off....it was just a fast idea. Hard crowd to please...lol

With all due respect, your car looks real nice but your friend's camera is busted.

For sure the camera is fine, his friend just needs to master it, it'll take some time but he'll figure it out and then the pictures will look real good.

Everything about the car is awesome except for the autozone badges. You can get some nice ones that say the hp you're making or whatever you want a lot of places.

I know what ya mean, it's hard to justify the price when it's just something for show and so small.

Personally I like the debadged look. My last two z28s, I took off the z28 badging and trim. Only downside to it was ******** thinking it was a v6 and trying to pick on the car till they realized it's a v8(don't like exhaust tips on camaros either so they looked plain other than really good bright red paint and nbm paint cars sitting on zr1 and c5 wheels)

I want to pull these SS badges off actually as well. SS doesn't really mean anything to me at all, but the fact that I would probably get retards saying it's a fake SS while not knowing what the RPO codes are would just bother me a bit.

I say leave it with nothing. Let people find out how fast it is after I they mess around with you on the road.

Then I would just leave it at that. While you're already rolling they can't see the intercooler and H.O. hood so people will probably assume it's a exhaust only car, leave the little supercharged badge for a little change up, and then you can just show them what's done to the car.

After you lower it a little bit it should look pretty much perfect in every way IMO.

Thank you! Yea i told him you all were criticizing his pictures. he was like "I know i need practice, ive only had the camera for a month." So, he'll get better. Id help him, but i dont know jack **** about photography.

Thank you!. I like em a lot. The only hook when its above 50* for me. 2nd gear 35-50mph, you stomp it, itll just blow em away. 3rd gear will spin some too if your doing like 60 and on really cold pavement. They dont last long though lol. Im going to give those Hoosier DR a try next i think. They make them in a 315/30/18 so well see how they do,

Your Biased! lol. Got a great deal on this hood. $300. already painted red. Its a little darker than the rest of the car, but it doesnt bother me.




Appreciate everyones compliments.!
