Re: Some help on...

If I had a camaro just like yours, I would start out with this:

Clear side markers since its white.

91-92 Z28 front grill and fog lights since its a 91-92.

Paint the amber section in the rear taillight either testors candy apple red paint or vht niteshade black paint.

4th gen outside door handles, painted either white or black.

The aftermarket clear turn signals for the front(think ebay has them).


Then step up to more expensive stuff:

17 or 18" wheels, aftermarket hood, hawks 5" spoiler, new black or red carpet.


I'm not a camaro guy so I don't know much about going about all of these mods. The modifications I listed have been covered well on this site and a search would find information on them.

Re: Some help on...

window tints
if you can get your mags looking like they did when the car was new, that would help....also get the center caps off ebay if you fix your mags.

polish and wax the car, armerall the tires and interior shampoo the inside.

in my opinion camaros look amazing stock, they dont need fancy stuff to look cool...civics do, not camaros. sure you could make your car look even cooler, but it already looks cool stock. Just clean it up and try to make it shine the best you can and I find window tints always help alot.

oh and touch up paint 2, I can see that your lip is missing paint.

Re: Some help on...

front bumper doesnt look properly colormatched...

how much money are you willing to spend? we could tell you hundreds of things that would make that (or any) car better, its all a matter of what your budget is. seeing as u got the car for 500 u probably dont have a big budget. any motor plans? if it were me, i would do away with the V6 first and foremost. i would do the V8 first, that way if it got wrecked i wouldnt be kicking myself for doing all the body work first

Re: Some help on...
