1. Take the rear louvers off.
2. Get a different grille.
3. I like the flames on the air intake
4. Some exhaust tips
5. Definately new rims

Gator_Z28

I have turn downs and can't run the duals all the way out the back, so exhaust tips are out of the question. I agree with you on the grille. I would like to get one of the billet ones. Thanks for your comments though!

Mark305TBI

I'll agree with what Mark said and add tail light blackouts to the list.

redbird_400

There was a web site that shows you different rims on different carz. I'll see if I can find it.

Gator, your car already looks very good. But, I would first take the back window louver off and then tint the windows; the difference will will be striking. Then add some racing stripes, maybe white. Some new wheels and a new grille would be nice but I think the tint and racing stripes would be the most improvement. Instead of tail light blackouts, I would paint the tail lights red, no amber showing.

New rims without white-letter tires, remove rear louvers, remove license plate frame, remove the lovely blank windshield banner, maybe tint the windows. But its your car, so do what YOU want

EDIT: A new coolant bottle will clean up the engine bay

Z288Iroc

Keep the louvers
Get some blackouts
get the grill with the CAMARO insert in silver
white strips
tinted windows
and some Snypers woud set it off
hmmmm, Im getting goosebumps
just my opinion though
you have a good car to start with

if you go with stripes...I vote for black

Mark A Shields

I missed that stripe at the top, I'd remove that too.

Do what i did , get a sawz all , cut the exhaust pipes right were they angle down, so the pipes are straight , loosen muffler clamps on the two tail pipes and pull them downward so the exhaust aims out the rear and get some chrome extensions. I think i got 16" ones from the auto zone, that'll work, works for me.

Mark A Shields

I thought he meant , he had turn downs right under where he sits. Not out the back.

PopaPork

Yeah Rear louvers...GONE......get the new grill with fog lights on it, and if you cant afford new rims yet, Just finish yours. Make them all one color gray/silver. I say keep the white letters out. I had my letters out on my car for awhile...it helps break up the 60 series rubber, doesnt make it look so damn big. Also...try some black majic on this puppies....

scrawnywhiteguy

I'd have to say....
Remove the rear louvers
Get some chrome (or polished) rims
tint the window

MdFormula350

1. Take the rear louvers off.
2. Get a different grille.
3. I like the flames on the air intake
4. Some exhaust tips
5. Definately new rims

i agree what Mark said..

Gator_Z28

Thank You all for the advice!

david roush, My exhaust turns down right before the rear axle. So i can't do what you said.

Iv'e been thinking about some racing stripes, but what color? I'm not sure about white. Iv'e been thinking silver to accent the grey, what do you think?

By the way i have a set of black outs but i keep getting pulled over with them so i took them off! I have also been meaning to tint my back glass, but i just can't stop spending money on the engine. The rear window louvers have been on that car since 86. I have had them off once but that big third brake light just looks gay and the louvers kinda hide it.

My next big spend will prob. be some rims. I'm torn between the snipers and the Y2K vette rims. if i do the vette rims it will be 17X9 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back like the vettes.

brodyscamaro

every thing that metallicamarors said and mark a shields said

STREETDEMON

I love the color! New grill, tinted windows, and maybe some different rims. If your gonna do stripes go with black. Looks awesome on silver cars.

Also, how do those mufflers sound on your car.

Freeze

i second that

fast83camaro

1. If you dont get new rims soon, flip the tires over to the blackwalls.

2. Get a washer fluid bottle.

3. Lose the chain license plate frame!

Otherwise, car looks good, I like the color, and I like your induction setup.

Hg

Id' lose the louver grille for a Z28/IROC style grille... but it does go with your hatch louvers, so if you keep the hatch louvers I guess that grills isn't bad. I'd get some wheels/tires(Torq Thrust II's or ROH Snypers would look good), lose the license frame, and tint it.

Also, are your pics with the Eibach pro-kit installed, and how did you make the flames on that intake?

fast83camaro

the tailights like this....

V6camaroman

why does everybody dislike rear window louvers? i have them on my bird and love them. i think it makes the car look tough especially with the biggie smallie tire combo.

85_ZED28

Why does everyone dislike the Z28 (louvre) grill? I may be bias but I like it better than the other one. Anyways, chain liscense plate, back window louvers and windsheild stripe should go, new set of rims. I love the colour of your car, might look cool with silver GFX?

FLYNLOW92rs

iTrader: (53)

NO stripes
NO license plate thing
NO louver thing on window
NO banner on windshield

YES rims
YES new grill
YES tint windows

Just my opinion though, take it for what it's worth....

devianb

I agree, but don't put wheels like flynlow92rs on your ride.

Skatepunk60

I have louvers on my car but they dont look like that , i like the look of mine better IMO it looks like the stock ones. If you want louvers id suggest go for a pair like them , i got mine from the junkyard near me for $20.

devianb

I used to like louvers and had them on my car for a year until they got bent, rattled, faded to grey, left waterspots, trapped leaves, sticks, residue on the rear window. They did not sit flush either and ended up looking like an armadillo, which so many do. I had the factory IROC style. Sometimes they looked good and sometimes they didn't.

AT4 T/A at work

Why don't you take out the rest of that A/C stuff since you're obviously not using it anyway?
Ditch those louvers and get tint
I think silver stripes would look pretty good
ROH ZS rims in 17 X 9.5 (talk to importsrsloths! He's selling a set for $1100!!!!!!)
Yeah, I'd ditch that license plate frame too
I think that grille looks ok, and the color of the car is ok. Hell, you've got a nice looking car already, I'd just take off those damned louvers!

Gator_Z28

Streetdemon the muffler are sound good. Once you get over 60 however it gets quiter in the car but forget a conversation in the car at 50! There is some pictures of the exhaust on the exhaust board under the post duals.

I have a washer bottle i just have it off to clean it.

Hg, the pictures are with the eibach springs. And the flames on the intake, I just drew some flames on a peice of printer paper and cut them out, taped them on and painted them. I used a can of the spray paint you can get at Advance to match the car.



You don't have to worry about that!!!

V6camaroman, I agree with you about the window louvers but I knew everyone one would say take them off.

fattie92

i like tha flames on the intake, but then i looked closer and noticed its a single snorkle.... id definatly get rid of that, that cannot be doing anything good for that 355. get a dual snorkle, or even a open element.

Gator_Z28

About the air element, I have tried the open air element agianst the set up i have now and she didn't run as good. All the Carb was just sucking in all the heat from the engine. This way she gets nothing but cold air, and i can't run a dual snorkle into the tpi air intake. I'll prob. experiment some more when i get a cowl hood and a carb spacer with the open element.

roadog115

Why can't you run the dual snorkle into the TPI air intake?

IROCKER

Definately loose the rear louvers!

I like the flame idea on the intake piece though!

pardonme2711

get some hood blisters. shave the side moldings. new rims i think tt2 would look bad *** on your car and tail light black outs.

Gator_Z28

I geuss its not that you can't run a dual snorkle into the tpi intake it is just that it wouldn't look good or function any better. You would have the same amount of air coming through the tpi intake into the dual as you would the single. And all the extra tubbing you would have to run and combine would just clutter the engine compartment.

devianb

17's would look great, assuming you chose a good design.

fattie92

well if waht you got works, then so be it.. i just dont see how that 355 can breath through a straw

devianb

Yeah.
