Could you help me out?? If you could turn the headlight pockets white,
and maybe put a set of black heritage stripes on it?


Thanks!

Kiztope, my opinion but, uhhh... definately looks better with the standard black accented headlamp pockets! That's what makes 3rd Gen Camaros look so mean!

I just really like the "clean" look of the body colored pockets..
I dunno, I think they make the car look kinda dirty... unless it is a special case...
Otherwise, I dont like 'em!

Thanks for the edit! Looks alright.. I still dont know whether or not I should get the SS, or the 92 Z hood.... And still not sure on the stripes.. Opinions?

i got a question. Would it be possible to make the parking lights like that picture. Those look great, painted white like that. Most people probably didn't notice it, look and tell me what you think.

One time when I was reading www.LS1.com,
I saw a silver SS and it was just painted black on the scoop. It looks really good. I'm not sure how it would look on a white one though. Or a thirdgen for that matter.

Its kinda hard to explain...

Keep the stripes, except on the scoop, where it is painted the stripe color only on the top.....

that way, the sides are still white...

Explain what you want me to do with the stripes and I'll try.
Never mind, I'm working on it.

do the first one, with the stripes much wider. saw that on a 71 1/2 RS/SS that I almost bought. had a 2 1/2" or so cowl induction hood. I want to repaint my '83 z/28 hood in a similar fashion.

------------------
1988 Camaro Sport Coupe
2.8 V6, TCI 3200 Stall TC, B&M Transkit, 80 Series Flowmaster w/ Catback, '85 Firebird SE 3.73 Rear (soon)
'83 CFI Z/28 Hood, '87 16" IROC Wheels on Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's, '92 Z/28 Bowtie Grille
IROC Gauges, IROC Taillights, IROC Foglamps w/ retrofitted 9005 hi-beam headlight bulbs

1985 Firebird SE
2.5 I4, T-5, 3.73 rear (going to the sport coupe)
Beat to a pulp.
