Default Gave my SS a makeover

So i decided to go for something a little unique. It is either love hate and i love it. What do you guys think?

I still have to paint the calipers black. Sorry for the choppy pics.

Enjoy

I usually don't like the hockey stripe, but it looks all right.

I like the way it looks. But, I think that the longer hockey strips would have looked better. And like you said it will stand out more with the calipers painted to match.

And I think that you need to do the camaro inserts in orange to tie in the back.

I like the orange black combo but would personally do either the Hockey or Manta, not both.

i don't think the design looks bad, i just think the colors need to go together.

the orange and black scheme on chrome rims doesn't sit well. maybe a set of black TT's with color matched lip !?!?

Looks better than I thought it would. I agree that some orange camaro letters would complement it. I'll be able to see it in person tomorrow in Grapevine, right?

Looks sweet! Love the orange color on black. The new camaro has a paint option like that too. You have good taste.
