Only thing I think throws it off is the tag delete being black, reverse and put the black on the bird.

Black mirrors look great on Birds but looks out of place on Camaros. I say keep it. Personally the only thing I'd change is the front plate, make it pewter but paint the chicken black. You you done te CETA mod? If not, you should just to tie in the scheme. That and/or paint the underside of the spoiler black.

Make a silver lip on the wheels if you repaint and I think it will look pretty sick.

I love it! The only thing I would change is paint the front cover back to pewter and then paint the bird black.

I like the rims and mirrors being black. The others seem right. The front plate looks wrong being black. Paint that pewter and paint the bird black. Otherwise, nice ride.
