The choice of women in the poll disturbs me. What is this 2001?

Came in here expecting to see dubs or something, this looks really good my favorite is your night shot, the thing looks so damn shinny and clean. I did however like the stock look of the ss rims on it too in the before pic next to the c4. Nice work!~

Oh were do you get that front license bracket, a cop pulled me over last week cause he didnt see one and that led to me getting nabbed for no insurance FTP

Haha just randomly thought of some women I liked lol !!

Appreciate the comments !

Are you talking about the bracket on my old white z28? or the one on my SS? SS grille is stock with stock bracket. the white one I cut the stock grille and left just the bracket and designed some wing clips to keep it in place in the middle


OH and I decided on a grille for my SS... RK sport Carbon Fibre.. will be ordering Monday !!!

Thats awesome! Yeah Im a little partial to C4's Even more so WHITE C4's Both cars look awesome! Your camaro is killer!

Good luck man!

you did an amazing job with the car.
and you pulled off 20's very well.
+1 for slightly tucked in wheels.
thats a perfect picture to justify the cars body lines.

Talking

Thanks for the comments again !! Z vid was the first one I ever made using imovie and I did it at work.. I cant wait to make one for this SS using sound and video clips now that Im a little better with it.

I did indeed get the spacers on ! I ordered Doug Rippie Longer studs (same length but the thread goes to the end of the stud unlike the stockers). And 2 billet aluminum hub centric spacers in 9mm. it's not much but it IS noticeable. Definitely doesnt looked tucked in anymore and after I get an alignment and get at least a touch of negative camber out theyll be out quite a bit. I didnt take any specific pics to show the difference and it's been raining every day for like 2 weeks but I did take some in the rain that might show the difference..

Here's a few pics, I hope you guys agree they dont look 'tucked' in too far anymore compared to the rears.


random pic I liked


Today I'm getting crane 1.82 quick lift roller rockers, comp 918s and pushrods etc all done (right now actually Im killing time at a nearby coffee shoppe lol).


When I get home shes getting a wash if I have time and will be installing my carbon fibre grille !!


ANother random pic I liked at work in yet another day that was pissing rain

I think this pic really shows the rear VT isolator mod I did very well.. the rear is down a tad more than the front and even though the overall height is 1" taller for the rears the car doesnt look angled forward anymore. It sits perfect now ! Imo it also keeps the rears from looking bigger than the fronts they wheels kinda of look the same size to me in this pic

those rears need a dished lip bad...too flat looking, combined with being too tall it makes them look narrow

but to each his own, congrats

Dished lips have their own unique look. a reverse lip HRE in this style would make the inner center 1 inch larger. WHile a dish does look good, I would NOT have bought them if they did. the wheels would have looked like 20 where mine sort of look like 19s because of the stepped lip. to each their own really I used to like reverse lips when they came out, I have a 3.5 inch dish on the rears on my vette (19x11.5). If anything these wheels will be widened if they ever need a rebuild or service. theyre just 10 inches in the back and yes they are narrow. With the current rear offset I still have over an inch back there between the tire and the inner fender.

Not defending my wheels @ your post just saying that no a dish on a 10 inch wide is just retarded. Yes they are too narrow but for the price I got them for I don't care

looks very nice Nasty! I love your car. I will be ordering my wheels on wednesday, they are 19x10 and 19x11. The 11" will be going on a rear narrowed 3" per side, ~6" deep dish. :-) I wonder what all the haters are going to say about those haha. To each their own is correct, its your car and if you love it, than that's all that matters! BTW what brand CME is that?

That is f'n badass having a narrowed rear end! 19s are perfect it's gonna looks sick you just can't go wrong unless your rims have the same style/pattern a the plating on your teeth... Then you're in trouble lol.

What wheels are you going with ?

lol true that! No way, I try to stay away from all the bling crap. I want a clean looking car like yours. The wheels im ordering are DPE SP5, here are some pix below. I wont be doing that color combo, I will be getting brushed aluminum face with polished lip.
