Default made a few appearance changes on the camaro

alright its been a while since ive posted pics, so heres some.
i got a slp grille, did the berger pannel mod, c6 shift ****, clear lights, blue headlight bulbs, trailblazer SS badges, and got some ss wheels that i had powder coated, i put 3/4" spacers on the rear so the wheels wouldnt tuck in. what do yall think?

Everything but the SS badges and bowtie on the SLP grille look good IMO. I'd put the original SS badges back on and I would have went with the "SS" SLP grille.

its not a true ss so i didnt get the ss slp grill. I know I know, I shouldnt have put ss badges on a z. But i like the trailblazer ss badges. i was just wondering what it would look like. I like them but ill take them back off later

Looks great. The TBSS badges don't belong. They need to be black.

Do u like 9 1/2s on the rear of f body's or 11s? Personally I like 11s. Cause they sit flush with the body. So I set my wheels out flush

The first thing I noticed was the huge fitment gap between the hood and bumper cover.

The new style SS badges look good, just need the inserts to be black instead of white.

They sell the inserts on ebay cheap.
