why did it take so long for you to get them? they look great on the car. if i may i think that you should put some black hockey stripes on the car.

oh also on my rims american racing had a huge back order list on them. i guess they are finally getting around to getting them sent out. i think it also helped my friend at the shop i ordered them from demanded to speak to someone higher than a sales rep when my order plus an in stock order was a month late and demanded to see something done about it.

think paint the calipers gloss black and get the chrome z28 or camaro stickers for em
they last my bro has had white stickers for about 2 years now no problems.
IMO Red would look nice but not in your case since your going with white,black,and chrome.

that would be a good ideal as well. bc i have the the billet "chrome" style grill then i have the chrome wheel well's maybe the chrome camaro lettering wouldn't look bad neither. hmm, i got a few options i'm going to have to work out that's for sure.

smoked corners for sure...they ambers look way outa place. !sidemolding and paint behind the grill satin black. I think those few lil things will really bring all of the other major mods (like ur wheels, headlights, grill) together.

Have you considered painting your rear panel "berger" style? Car looks great BTW. Hockey sticks would look killer too. Also I have some tail light covers if your interested drop me a PM.

well, berger style but in gloss black. i want to just won't have the money after i get my ceramic coated hooker headers and Hooker ORY. i'd almost like to focus on looks but i have had my car for over a year with basically nothing performance wise done to it. all it has is a catback magnaflow exhaust and an SLP air lid. so yea it's something i'm considering down the road. hmm, i'm talkin to another guy on z28 about some and were having comunication problems. (he's not on when i'm on.) but if i hear nothin from him i'll let you know. not really wanting to nightshade my tail lights bc that won't be able to be taken off.

Car is looking really good. A drop and some hockey stripes would make it look killer. But how'd you get it to fly? I was stunned when I saw your sig.. awsome. haha..

lol thx guys. eh, i just really like those rims a lot. so that's what i saved for. a lot of ppl ask why i chose them and i just tell them that and look how good they look on the car, lol. yes i agree i need to drop. that will take a while. going to be ordering stripes very soon. and i got someone who might be helping me with brake calipers. going red with black camaro lettering. and the sig...well, i just put that together..i should have put it furth down on the sig, but idk, it looked good like that so i just kept it. thx for the compliments!
