Default New paint and wheels...

But he's not quite finished yet. My SOM SS hasn't had it's final color sanding and sealing yet. The new billet grill isn't in place yet, nor is the hood scoop grill. I still need to source my SS emblems, but here are some preliminary picts.

It is indeed Sunset Orange Metallic. It hasn't had it's final color sanding or sealing yet and those picts were taken with my iPhone not my Nikon. They don't do the paint justice.

Jeez, the shop that painted the car pulled it back to fix some very minor imperfection they say in the rear bumper. They are going to repaint it again. Don't have a time table for it's return yet.
They also painted my calipers SOM just for kicks. I also had the wheels painted a dark metallic titanium instead of the ordinary silver they were. I can't wait to see it finished with it's new billet grill and SS badges back on.
I have to take this beast to the Hurst LSX challenge in September.

color looks good.
if your running a billet grill i would have them fill in the grill holes and the "camaro" in the grill looks much better with that done and have them spay a satin black in there also.

NICE! Why don't you just use filler for the holes and leave the nose like that-I'm doing that with mine-gives it a meaner look IMO

considered the new style SS badges? I think they look much nicer and bolder than the bland cheap looking ones that came on 4th gens

It was Sunset Orange Metallic all it's life and will always be that color!
