any suggestions?

 

ehh still cant figure out how to post pics.

 

First off, you can only use the [IMG] tags with an image source that is already hosted on the net... (i.e. http://www.---)

What you want to do is scroll down a little bit to where it says "Attach File" and click 'browse'. Then you can select your pic from your computer, but beware of file size...

 

thank you im gonna give it a try

 

my camaro try 2

 

any suggestions?

 

Well I'm gonna state the obvious and say you need a new set of wheels. Some of the basic cheap first appearance mods should be to polish your tailights depending on what shape they are in and get new parking lights though it's hard to tell how good they look with the pics you posted. It looks clean though good luck with it man.

 

thanks man. im debating i just put a request for a photoshop of black zr1 rims on my car. my taillights are in good condition the guy before me bought better condition ones and put them on

 

While they may be in good shape, you can really bring the life out of them with a good polishing.

I'm gonna take a guess and say your tails look like the one on the left of this pic. With enough time, you can make them look like the one on the right.

Here's the thread if it interests you..

o wow that is really nice, i might just have to do that now thanks for the idea!

 

hey you think i should go with a 3" cowl hood with the stripes coming up it?

 

All that car needs are a set of rims...other then that looks great.

black zr1s...mmm

 

.

 

with the yellow paint, clear side markers would make it look even better

 

Forgot to mention some nice tint.

 

Tint is definitely a good idea... something dark all the way around to compliment your blacks. The stripes are nice, you could most likely manage with a 2 or 3" cowl with the stripes going up them. If you go with ZR1's, definitely go with black, but make sure you have a polished lip, they look great. Overall, nice car!

 

I say go with polished alm wheels....and clear sidemarkers.....and a v8

 

i gotta say get the Grand Sport wheels (black ZR1 with chrome lip) and some window tint and that thing is going to be insane looking

 

Problem is, you're still going to have a damn V6 under the hood. I'd save up the 3-4 grand and get an L98. Then mod the hell out of that one. Save these motors for daily drivers.

 

well im hoping the motor dies soon cause my parents said that when it dies they will help me with a motor. and i told them its a lot of work to swap from a v6 to a v8 but they said its fine as long as the v6 dies... im hoping it dies soon.

 

Tell them the easiest one to swap is a motor called the LS1.

 

lol if hes saving 3-4 g id recommend something a few steps up from a L98. lol you could fetch a LS1 for that dollar. but since this is apperance, i say what the rest say, a nice 17-18 inch rim, darkest tint your state allows, and possibly the 5 inch spoiler. it all depends on how far you wanna take the car.

 

Just remember: Manually shifting into Low gear while driving at higher than freeway speed.....

 

 

that's how we blew up my friends Civic engine now he's buying an SRT-4

 

yeah all its takes is MONEY $$$$

 

Only problem with that is that you stand a good chance of blowing out your tranny and tires at the same time. And, if you're not that good of a driver, you can skid bad, and slid it right off the road.

However, that said, if you're careful, and convince your parents that you also need a 4th-gen tranny, some creative downshifting can't hurt.

 

too be dead honest with everyone i was planning the LS1 swap. i already talked to my family about it and they said if money permits then fine. so yea lets go blow this motor!

 

Uhh... your parents do understand the amount of money and labor invovled in a full LS1/tranny swap, yes?

 

yes and they understand its not going to be easy and its going to take time. but its a project car and im doing my car the way i want. i am not gonna spare any expense because im very picky so if i do a cheaper motor i will end up ripping it out. so yea they understand and hopefully it all works out.

 

Alright. As long as you all know going in. Also, you're going to need somewhere to work. Engine swaps aren't something you just do in your driveway on one afternoon.
