New body mods?...Yes or No! Just got all of my body work done, only in 1st prime. Tryed alittle some thing difffent with my mods, whislter influenced me w/ his C5 taillights about a year ago and i really liked it so i did his mode. Its alittle diffrent but i think it looks better.
BOdy Mods: shaved bodylines, antenna & handles, nice clean RkSPort body kit molded in, My C5 tailight conversion, custom vette center exhaust. Getting VFN cowl and Wolfe mini tub soon to! Many more to come 2!
Any opinions posititve or Negative on mods would appreciate.

Body lines Yeah i know about the body lines, it looks to clean and straight down the side for a camaro. I was thinking its to late now to redo the body lines, so i really wanna do the DH wide body kit. Before i primed it i was thinking about it but i dont have access to an english wheel to do the back fenders right now. but if i get the chance i so would and will do some day! I want it to be deffirent but most importantly have people sepect my work and like my car. i dont wanna ruin my z.

I understand you are going for the smooth look, but I actually think the taillights would look better sunk in a bit. They kind of look like an afterthought. The rest of the car looks pretty sweet though.

Tail lights i will fix Yeah i know they need to sit in alittle more. Gunna fix it soon its kinda in a mock up right now and i wanted to get some opinions before i painted it. it was so hard molding the tailights cuz a vette is flat and the camaro has a slight curve to it, plus built the panel all from scratch. i will mold the tail lights in better. as for the body lines. i like the clean look but the bumper body lines filled in might help and so would paint. Gunna be Straight black if i never mentioned.

well if you want a honest opinon.it looks to ricey for me.but then again that is what makes cars a good hobby everyone likes different things and thats what keeps it real.so the only thing that matters is do you like it and if yes, forget what everyone else says!

Yeah i like how its going so far. Was sitting in the shop today looking at it, gunna get new doors and fenders and start by getting the body lines back, it does need the body lines! For christmas im treating my self to a VFN Cowl, Minitub and gunna get some Telstars with Dr's. With the wheels, hood, body lines i think ill be getting closer.

i've seen this car in person and had the chance to run it against my LT1... trithfully these pictures do not give it the best look, it looks 100 times better in person.. i agree with getting the body line back but i think you should keep the hood.. and switch to a SS spoiler to help the rear end have a little shape...

Thanks man appriciate it. Just trying to figure out wut looks best. Hopefully ill get on the DH fenders soon just not that experienced with that kind of metal work yet. But when there done ill have some info on how to do it, and maybe rear quarters. just a matter of time cuz i love the DH wide body, and when i get an idea i try it! As you can already see.
