Probably A stage 2 Sebring silver with blue pearl in it, and a black manta stripe and berger panel. That or SOM with a black manta stripe, berger panel and Black Z06 motorsports wheels instead of chrome.

I agree, I think a 4'' cowl hood and some prostars would look better

screw that dude, keep your 69 and buy a roller fourth gen. all these guys saying leave the scoop to a fourth gen probably havnt seen the camaro's foose has put out with the ss scoop and nice rims, awesome man.

throw some nice som paint and some black accents and some deep dish rims you got your self a nice pro touring car, and if you want to go to the track, save up for some slicks....

ps- hideaway lights would look sick on the with a black grill maybe lower it just a tad and tub out the back for some meaty tires

i like the hood, but not sure on the rims. in my opinion, the torque thrust II rims would look sick on that car. As for color, i would go either hugger orange, or black(either gloss or flat). looks like its going to be a sick build. good luck man.

Thanks everyone for your opinions, could anyone photoshop the car SOM and silver with black manta stripe? Those are my main choices unless someone can think of something else that doesnt look to flashy. I like plain and simple.

i love the later model hood design, but must agree with the others about the wheels. maybe a set of slightly older vette wheels if you want something late model factory looking. im not a big fan of the torque thrust wheels,, ya they look good, but everyone has them, and on every type of car so there totally unorigional in my opinion.
