New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

I haven't posted anything in awhile and I just wanted to give a quick look a my car since it just got back from the paint shop. I don't think I've seen another one this color so if anyone was curious as to how it would look here's your answer.

Re: New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

Looks nice! Need to see some dry pics in the sun to show off the new paint reflections. Whole car looks really good.

What wheels? I feel like I just saw an add on FB with those wheels and thought that they would look great on a 3rd gen... They do!

Re: New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

Thanks guys. Glad you like it. I will post some better pics asap. I just got it back Friday and it's been cloudy here lately. I just couldn't resist showing it though.

The wheels are Verde Parrallax V39 20" x 10" back & 19" x 8.5" front. Bolt pattern is stock but spacers are necessary.

Re: New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

Thanks. I actually already ordered the correct grille. I liked the looked of the 91-92 Z28 one at first but I'm changing it back. I'm just waiting for it to arrive so I can also install the fog lights.

Re: New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

I acually like the pre 91 grille inserts. It is the only place that says Camaro on the car, other than the steering wheel.

What springs are you running? Stance looks good.

Re: New Paint-Stealth Gray Metallic

That's exactly why I'm changing it back. There's no other Camaro lettering on the exterior. Plus I want to make it look as much like stock IROCZ as possible. I have GC weight jacks on it. Those were one of my best decisions.

Ground Control Weight Jacks. A must have when running aftermarket wheels.

Exactly. It allows you to adjust ride height and spring rate. Here is more info so we don't hijack the thread.
