Default Give me your Honest Opinion

I just bought a 2002 B4C Camaro from the state Highway patrol. Full service records, no probs but a drivers seat (Imagine that lol) Anyways, I am gonna keep it the black and white for a while, tint the windows dark and then let the fun start. I am trying to get a full ebony leather kit and trim panels to convert the inside.

Here is my question:

Do you think that black ZR1 rims with white Calipers would look good? I think the contrast might be pretty groovy with the white hood and roof.

What do you guys think? Am I shooting at the stars?

Kevin

i wouldnt do white calipers...i think if you wanted to do a contrast just polish them up really well or paint them a glossy silver. thats just my opinion though, if you think it will look good go for it also, did you get a good deal on the car?

I agree with the above. Would you be getting 17X11's for the rear?



I had a run in with a B4C once before.

DO IT! The wheels would be sick, with some 17x11's out back.

I have to agree though, no white calipers. Either polish them or paint 'em black. Red might look pretty good, too.

do the black Zr1's... those are bad ***


Polish your calipers, or paint them black.. that is all you need to do.


i know this is an lt1.... and not Zr1's

but here is a black rim and polished caliper look...
