Re: Opinions

wouldn't change a thing. Those are my favorite factory rims for camaros. Maybe a 350 but that's about it.

Re: Opinions

Looks good man. I'd just add some factory fog lights. The foglight grill was a nice upgrade, but looks kinda empty with no lights in it.

Everything else is gooooood.

Re: Opinions

Car looks great I would not change a thing I like the clean plan look however I hate stock iroc rims...I would put something like these on it with some fat tires all the way around that would set your car off!

Re: Opinions

I think the IROC rims look perfect as does the rest of the car. I'd only add some fog lights.

Re: Opinions

Only thing I would do is add the the factory style grill or like others said fog lights...other than that change nothing on the outside. And when the 305 dies slide in a good 350 or 355 or even the mighty 383..The car looks good.

Re: Opinions

Looks great the way it is I agree with the foglights I think it could use some, but otherwise looks great just the way it is a 350 would be nice though

Re: Opinions

Really nice car! I like it as is, but since you don't have fogs go ahead and get the "euro" parking lights to match the headlights you have. I'm going to do that as soon as I find a replacement for the fogs that matches the look.

Re: Opinions

car looks fine the way it is. it just like a nice clean stock ride with a couple upgrades. match your parking lights aand corner lights to the headlights though. the headlights look too nice for the other lights. rather than that looks good. like the iroc wheels too.
