Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
I really like it! You very rarely see that color... especially when it is not faded out! What kind of nose emblem are you using on there... it looks blue?

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
Did you mount the front plate right to the grill? I think that looks better than to have it sticking out with the adapter plate.

Not usually a fan of that shade of blue but with those wheels it really looks good! You definately need to get some new parking lights.

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
the paint actually changes colors a lot so it is difficult to show what its like on the computer. its not a stock color, its a repaint. these next two pictures show a bit of how it changes to different shades depending on the light
new parking lights will be happening in the summer. HIDs are going in tomorrow though so that is the next upgrade to this car. the summer will also bring around an LS1 with a T56. im sure there will be a thread about it sometime in august

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
once again, thanks guys. i forgot to reply to the mesh insert question from before. I was at a local performance shop and they were selling the mesh by a company called ractive(?). its what the guys with body kitted cars stick in the holes. its either chrome or polished aluminum. i cant remember. hope that helps a bit

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
I love the blue, never would have picked it for a thirdgen 'till I seen it on yours. Very nice, only thing I would suggest is the clear side markers to go a little step further towards the clean look...

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
That has got to be the most tastefully modded 3rd gen I've ever seen as the body goes. Looks like the body itself is in perfect condition along with the paint. The rims really stand out in a good way, unlike some other wheels I've seen on 3rd gens that just look out of place or like they're trying to look too fast (think rice). I never thought a mesh grill could look good on a 3rd gen but the way you've done yours almost looks like thats how it should have came from the factory! Make sure you have your suspension ready before you put the LS1 in, SFC's are a must on any 3rd gen regardless of drivetrain!! Looks awesome!

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
SFCs are already in. Dont worry. I know what Im doing. Ive taken every step to prepare the car for a new engine. Since I'm only 18 I found that my priority was to stand out aesthetically and then to do the drivetrain modifications. I figured I should make sure that the floorpans are strong, I strengthened the body using SFC and I made sure that the car could stop well (hench the C5 corvette brakes)
Im really glad everyone likes my car. I appreciate all of your support. Its guys like you that make me want to finish this car.

Re: Pics! Camaro out of hibernation. 56K take a walk
A friend of mine painted it. Since you're in London, your best bet is Rich Hilton. (519) 951-1642. Give him a call. He does flawless work. He paints most of my friends' cars. Definately recommend him and he's not too expensive

These parking lamps would go really well with the chrome rims:

Might wanna consider some clear sidemarkers too
