What do you think?

Well I have been part of the board for some time now and the few times that I have posted pictures there were a few things that you guys did not care for and I did agree. They were 1 the rims I don't really like them either but they were on there when I had bought it and there were more important things that needed to be done like paint and interior. The 2nd thing was the hood which I also do not want on there forever. So I got photoshop a few weeks ago and starting playing with it and picked it up pretty quick so here is my car with ROH ZS wheels and an ss hood and lowered which I think has become my final choice. What do you guys think? Has this changed my car for the better? All comments welcome.

SS hood

I think the ROH wheels look sweet on your car, as for the hood; you could go with the SS, but I like that Daytona hood alot. Whatever you choose, go with the ROH's!

I like both choices, and that is a nice photoshop job on the hood.

Its kind of funny how much of a difference wheels can change the entire appearence of a car. I did not care for your Camaro too much because of the rims. If your car had the ROH ZS wheel it will look really great.


I like the daytonna hood you have now, but the SS hood has a newer look to it.

Glad to see you guys like the changes cause I do plan on doing both the hood and the wheels. Also in the plans are a lt1 t-56 swap. I can't wait, but of course it will be a while cause I need to save some cash. Keep the comments coming.

I am glad to hear that. I can't wait to see the combo on your car for real. I really hated the rims you have now. Sorry
