To tell you the truth 1, 2, and 3 look awsome, although I think I prefer the silver color

I say go for the green, for a few reasons

1) It looks badass
2) It'll be unique
3) If the car gets stolen, how many lime green T/A's are their in your area ?
4) EVERYONE will know you... or at least your car.

I love the color of your car right now. I would keep it like that. And the Boyd Coddington's (sp?) look good on it, but so do the ones you've got on now. So I'm saying pic 1 or 2.

The green is really neat; very unique. I'd have to say that I like the first pic the best (platinum and 5-spoke rims).

Yeah I used Photoshop 6. Eyecandy is an awesome plug-in. But to lower/change color/ or change rims on your car, all you need is the tools photoshop comes with. There are countless plug-ins you can get for it to do some crazy ****e

Yeah if I get the rims I will sell the old ones. They dont go for much. I get them for about $1100 Canadian, which is like $700 American. I kinda like the colour too...in the sun its unreal

To be honest I really dont care for the fourth-gen parts on a third gen. everythin is so round and the thirds gens have more square lines...It just doesnt fit. However, I do like the SS hood on a third gen camaro
