I can understand where your coming from. But, with the luck I've had with things, I have just normally went with buying "new" as buying used. I do wish the best of luck to you on your build though. I will be looking to subscribe when the build thread begins.

^ It looks decent yeah but all in all, it looks like a plain camaro to me with added paint and new style ZR1 wheels. Now don't get me wrong on the car in whole cause I do know whats under that hood but IMHO, they could have done a better job on the car than that of the pic. I may be wrong by saying that cause maybe that are not 100% done with the car but before putting it up on stuff like LSXTV and what not, I would have done a little more work to it as far as the apperence.

It's not the wheels IMHO cause I never have really cared for those wheels to begin with. It's just they could have done more with the car other than slap a bigger motor in it, wheels, a roll cage, and probably a couple other things here and there. I mean the wheels could look good if they went and done other things the car as a whole. I personally don't even like how they have the LS9 emblems below the crease in the fender. If they would spend time on forums and other sites to see what WE are really doing and would like to see and go from there, then they might have a better looking car.

I would agree but I think the car looks good and it's not what everyone else is doing. Almost everyone does the same thing to these cars and it just gets boring. Everytime I see a camaro thread it's almost always people saying "get an ss spoiler, berger panel, tinted tails and different grille". I think the ls9 camaro looks good though I think a ttop car would've looked a little better, but I still like it.

Been thinking more about the idea, and this is how I'm planning to do the hood. This Z/28 hood is all fiberglass, so will be easier to modify for an insert than my stock steel one. Fit the insert over the engine, paint the raised portion of the hood black with the rest being hugger orange with the car. Maybe even add some back lighting that can be turned on with the hood closed, should show off my engine rather nicely.
Personal preferance speaking, I wouldnt have one black spot on the car, instead I would run one stripe or even a twin stripes, tip to tail of the car... Though that probobly means it'll sterio type other camaros... nevermind you dont like to do common things... lol
This idea is for the exhaust tips.....
I would do it by having the 2 pipes that usually exit seperatly feed into a larger chamber, then weld up 8 corvette exhaust tips to the chamber. It would let me have a 4-5" exhaust set-up, but hide it with what will look like 8 seperate pipes.

I like the idea but not the layout you made, mabye if you split them up like 4 on one side and 4 on the other... I dont know, just my two cents...
Good luck with your build T, Im look forward to seeing the aftermath of your project...
