Sweet car! Lowering it would make it look even better, but a wheel alignment wouldnt hurt either. Have you noticed how much your front wheels are toe'd in??

beautiful camaro.. like the other guys said, you should look into a set of drop springs.. it WILL make it look even better.. but if you're planning on drag racing it, stay stock.. drop springs suck on the strip.. no weight transfer..

lookin great black84z28-4spd ... that car is just sex on wheels.

Pro-kit would look awesome cause it definently needs at least a 1-2" drop.

Only other suggestion have you thought about the red taillight mod and or blacking the amber out?

and i say it especally for this car because you have all new style crystal clear lights with blue bulbs on the front and the back still has the outdated amber lights...you just gotta complete it in my opinion. Dont get me wrong i love this car its just something id change it if it were mine.

Are the headlights you have eurolites and what type of bulb are useing for those.
Car looks very kick a$$!!!! I think the tailights look good stock, but they'd look good blacked out too!

Do you like them and are you happy with quality? I've heard some say they're not as good as the eurolites, but they look really good and they go well with turn lamps.

one of the best things that help me is i think about or visualise what i am looking for before i take the pics...that and a good cam do help alot...this day was early in the morning around 530-630 and i was using a circular polarizer to kill glare




camaroman_83....yup i like then even tho i had to mod some things in the head light assembly but the problem being that is the stock set up light bar was never intended for a h4 set up

very nice man but i just really really really dont like the stock height of these cars. to me they look 20x better with a good drop. but that is just my opinion. but i love everything you have done with the car. the front end is beautiful it is by far my favorite thirdgen front end.. lol all the lights in the front with the blue bulbs is sexy as hell and then the grill cowl and sidemarkers complete the look. with a drop i would have to say that car would be the best looking black thirdgen ive ever seen if not the best thirdgen overall. seriously great job with it man.
