let me know! LooK!

here's my daily driver except when it rains or snows...then I just drive the crappy truck...its a sh***y picture...I just added the new front turn signal lights and a new fog panel grill insert(BOWTIE) 87's came with the words (CAMARO) .....Im waiting on my clear side markers to come in(be here on Friday)

Only thing left to do to the appearence I think would be,
I may get some Front blackouts....tint the windows....and that about it.....


whatcha think? what else can I do?

I'd stay away from front blackouts....but the tint would look nice. Beautiful car man. Maybe some 17 inch iroc rims?

Yeah, they do look polished.

I'd say no on the front blackouts, and yes to the tint, very nice car.

Putting clear on them contradicts the whole point of polishing.

Don't use wax either, the abrasives in it will dull and scratch the shine over time.

I just stick to either Windex ammonia free, or car wash soap.

Looks awesome with the polished rims. I am with the rest who are against front blackouts, but tints would look great.

Black outs supposedly have a tendecy to fly off at high speeds.

I have never had it happen, but I have heard stories.

I thought about getting the white grill insert one but then I also like the black/white look of the car....gives it more depth...I think.......The "IROC" decal on the door used to be gray and I changed it to "black" Then I like the hints of red with the "BoWTIE" Got t on the grill, my steering wheel and my floor mats...cant wait to get the clear marker lights....and see how that changes the look...That way there wont be any yellow xcept for the rear tail lights....

and just think, the car came witht the nasty lookin red interior....YUK!...I changed it all the black.....So the whole car is black and white.......Its the only car like it around here....I stick out like a sore thumb around here, everyone elses is either an RS or something......I live in a small town and there are 2 other white camaros but mine just seems to stand out....I keep it so clean......paint the wheel wells black and all.....

I know what I might do...is paint the flowmaster "black' so it doesnt show so much from the rear....


I got it with 75000 and looked pretty nice then but I wanted to change it so it wouldnt look like the previous owners... and it now has 131000....and havent had to do any mojor engine work to it...none actually.... Its got the crappy 305 but it still looks fast...LOL

paint it neon green, with black stripes, lower it, put a tall aluminum adjustable spoiler and 20 inch chromed wire rims.

Just kidding, Im a huge fan of the white IROC's too. I would say lower it a bit and tint would be my next step. Cowl hoods look good on them too. Sweet ride!!!

love it!

I hear the front ones are worse for flying off, so make sure they're secure.

I had my blackouts on for a total of 3 days. I was on my way to work, a little late, going a little fast, and passed a semi going the opposite direction. as soon as I hit the air it was pushing out, both blackouts when flying over the top of my car. I found one, broken in 3 pieces in the middle of the road. never did find the other one.
