Default My CRM camaro

Been on the forums a while, i just never have gotten around to posting pictures. Theres not to many CRM around so im proud to own one.

Before the bashing happens, yes it is stock, no i dont have money for a drop lol. I'm just a broke college student waiting to hit the lottery so i can mod.

I'm planning on buying a shorter antenna next along with doing the Berger panel and these pictures aren't recent but i've already done the whistler. Any suggestions on appearance besides the obvious lowering; would be nice to see what you guys think

yea i just removed all my old tint(pina btw) i like the badges. im going with the gloss black berger already just needa go to a junk yard to find a replacement along with the ss spoiler. Im looking for the perfect hood atm actually, i saw it about 2 years back and havent seen it since; im pretty sure it was a special mold. the tips/rim/drop are the things that **** me off the most atm. Ive considered just cutting all the pipes after my cuttout. the rims are on the way, im getting a job and going with p/c black prostars with a chrome lip and some nice dr's.

Agreed.
OP- It's a nice color, let it stand out like it should from the rest of the crowd.
Do the gloss black berger, but don't go too overboard on the appearance mods. It looks hawt as it is.

Agreed. Berger panel (and most of those other mods) is so extremely played out. Like I have posted before, pretty soon guys will start changing back to their original tail light panels to stand out.

I am 180* the opposite. I would spend my money first making it faster/brake harder/corner better. Forget appearance mods, I want the car to perform better... although window tint in Texas is somewhat necessary.

It's simple. Jack up the car. Pull the rear springs off. Take the rubber isolators off them (the black rubber "doughnuts") and throw them in a corner. Take heater hose and thread it on the top coil of the springs. Reinstall the springs and lower the car back down. Should drop it 3/4 to 1".

I actually like this color alot. Pretty rare from what I understand. Ive only seen one in person and it drives up and down the North part of 35W.

The heater hose mod generally lower it between 3/4 to 1 inch....I have seen less and Ive seen more. The front does look alittle high to me but could just be the angle of the picture. I know you know but the first thing to do is lower it...that would be my number one thing. It doesnt have to be on the ground but an inch or so would make it just right. After that do whatever you feel is right for your taste. Try your own things.
