Dude, I am in love with your car. It is incredible. The brakes I got from http://www.metzcon.com/bigbrake/ and they went in really easily. No modifications needed. I would recommend it to anyone. Big difference in braking power. They dont really grab more at the beginning but when you are really determined to stop they will stop you instantly

 

Do you know how the LS1 brakes compare to the C5 brakes?

 

Theyre smaller. The LS1 brakes require a minimum 16 inch wheel and the C5 braker require a minimum 17 inch wheel. The C5 brakes come with a 13 inch rotor. Im sure you wont feel a huge difference while driving on them. I have 17 inch rims so I figured I would go as large as possible

 

If you could reply as to where you got the Hella stuff/information that woudl be great! I know some people have done stuf using Ebay prducts, but I want somethign that WILL work.

Thanks

 

lol thats ok, I'm just trying to find pics of other V6 camaros that look realy good, since my motor is all dirty and looks nasty, I'm trying to get ideas on what to do to make it look nicer for all of the summer meets I go to....since I dont have V8 plans in the near future.

Get Item # H65451 for $164.73
Then get a hold of these guys on eBay. Get them to send you real HELLA stuff. I talked to them and they sent it to me. The HIDs came to about $160 USD. Get the H4-2 kit and rewire it so that the HIDs run on low beam and halogen runs on high beam. It is just swapping the red and brown wired on the three prong connector. Pretty straight forward install

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll probably have to go with the LS1 brakes since they're cheaper. I'm really tired of the crappy stock brakes, my dad's Sierra with 286k miles on the clock can stop better than my car.

Offtopic: here's a picture of my engine bay, the paint is not that shiny any more (lovely Van Nuys paint) but it is clean. TPI airbox coming soon.

 

looks good kubus_stroinski!! really like the the rims. keep up the good work!

 

HIDs are in and I polished up my turn signals/parking lamps since they are 17 years old and just looked nasty. I will eventually get new ones but this will do for now



HID pics (6000k):















Pictures of how the parking lamps used to look like:







How they look now:











Let me know what you guys think

 

Looks good dude.

 

What did you use for a screen behind the front grille

 

its an aluminum mesh made by ractive. i got it at a local shop

 

wow those park lights look brand new, wut polish u use?

 

meguire's plastic x or something along those lines

 

Car looks really good. This makes me want to get mine out on the road even more now.

 

I bought a new camera and wanted to test it out today. Here are some more pics. Enjoy









HIDs properly aimed:

 

what springs and shock combo do u have?? That stance is awesome!!!

 

im using canuck motorsports lowering springs, its a 2 inch drop front and back. the ones that they normally sell are 1.6 inches but i asked for a bit lower. i dont remember what shocks and struts i have in there right now, i did that like 2 years ago.

 

Those are really good pictures, what kind of camera is that?

 

Canon PowerShot Pro1

 

I like the color a lot...you don't see it that much...as far as the driving lights, go to Auto Zone / Pep Boys and get some Meguilars Plastic X for $5.00 and those lights will look brand new in about 10 minutes time and cheaper than buying new ones...nice car...

opps I read the whole thread and you got the Meguilars Plastic X...I am switching to the hID's later this month...do u like them?

 

I would never drive without them again.

 

trying to get a bit better at using the new camera. this is what i came up with today
