Updated Camaro pics. Sebring Silver with Z06 rims

Watcha think?!








The baer brakes make a world difference. Best investment on the car and i'd suggest it to anyone before anything else.

That's lookin sweet. A drop is in order, but that's a bitchin Camaro either way. And is your hood really black? It's hard to tell in the pictures.

PS: those Baer brakes cost more than my car is worth.

I need to take a picture of a 4x4 Camaro that's around here. I'm not kidding, I went out to the Micosukee reserve a while ago and there was a third gen jacked up on some big *** tires.

damn that car looks great...

for some reason im picturing in my head a two tone...black top silver bottom...like if you finished it on the decklid/spoiler....cause the t-tops help the hood.

Dunno i think that would look sweet but car looks awesome as is...

Very nice, i am loving the accent stripes, nice touch. I agree a good lowering should finish her off. Also, some tint could help blend the black hood in with the rest of the car as well.

Thanks, lol.

Agreed on it needing to be lowered, but one thing at a time. She runs really well for the mean time. I get alot of compliments. I didnt want the hood black originally. Its just a goodmark that's been thrown on. Will paint it as the car's color very soon.

that thing needs to be lowered like 3 inches at least. but i agree with §teve i think you should two tone it black and silver. i think it would look killer two tone.

Looks great, although seems to be a tad high on the wheel gap there. I wish you hadn't stolen my hash marks on the gfx, now people will think I'm copying you when I do it.

I know u'd say something like that.

I had forgotten saleens had those slashes. I dont really like them how they are in the middle, and are short, I think they would look much cooler if on fender or more towards the front.

I think you picked up the same Baer Brake kit that I got, only with cross-drilled rotors. Do you have any close up shots of the setup? Or happen to know what pads we would use in a replacement? I picked mine up from a someone new, but with no instructions.

Forgot this post existed, lol. I still have her. She's currently sitting in my garage till spring. The thought of selling her was mainly to cover my debt and expenses. I was gonna get a Supra or C4 vette LATER on down the road. I recently threw in the Turbo setup and forgot how fun it was to work on her. Next mods include the T-56 installation and Lowering springs,4 point roll cage and SFC's and Intercooler. Just so no one gets out of bent this pic was taken just to button up while putting her away. Wasnt fully finished. Got me a Sillicone boot and extra clamps.

I think Hawks sell's replacement brake pads for them. I bought my pads from Baer. You do know that the calipers are LT1's C4's. So i'd assume replacement pads from them should work. This is the best closeup that i've got.

ok yes, 3rd gen fbodies are outdated too, but they've been cut off completely from production. people can still buy a 'vette if they wanted to...new or old. we have some of the nicest looking, endangered species the automotive world has ever seen
