Default Fresh out of the paint shop. Sunoco hood with stripe

Just got the Camaro out of the paint shop, was done at Pro Edge Auto and Paint in the Willowbrook area. Got body work done, all new paint, and the center stripe. I'm very happy with out it turned out!

Sunoco Hood, ebay ss spoiler, emblem pros inserts, C5 DDs 17/18 with Toyo 275s/315s, lightly smoked factory corners, and 93-96 tails.

Let me know what you think.

looks great! only thing that jumps out at me is the headlights. do those bulbs make the lenses look cloudy? maybe it's the picture?

other than that minor detail, very well done.

Rick has always done excellent work on my car. He has always done me right too.

Last year I went to the Texas mile. My whole front end was peppered with rock chips. I took my car back to rick because he has an extraordinary passion for Camaros and Vet's. He has owned a few of both.

A couple of members on tech have had their work done by Pro Edge.

Thanks guys! Yes, the headlights need attention asap. I would like it a bit lower too, its on Hotchkis springs right now.

The exhaust is an SLP 2OTL like ThreeFive said, it was an SLP optional muffler for the LT1 Firehawks and SS's. It sounds great, and it doesn't stick out much.

I got a set of halos. I was on the fence about getting them but I liked the look after installing them. It's a little busy for my taste but I digressed. I am satisfied with them.

$20 @ Walmart Maguires headlight restore kit I was on the fence about wasting my $$ on it, but my headlights were really bad. So I bought it and used it per instructions (except I used a corded drill) they turned out like NEW! took about an hour.

Another person mentioned this kit as well, I might have to pick it up tonight and try it out. I don't think I could make them look any worse.
