Re: BRAND NEW PICS... CAMARO COMPELTED

The exhaust looks better.
Centering the license plate on the front is better.
Adding a spoiler is nice, but that isn’t my favorite style and actually the old hood looks like it would have gone better with the new spoiler.
Looks like you calmed down the front and went a bit wilder in the back.

Question about that logo on your drivers side of the front window near the bottom. Is that directly above your VIN number, if so, don’t you think cops might have an issue with it.

Overall it’s definitely not my favorite color, but hey Orange seems to be the in thing now so what do I know.

Overall it’s a nice looking car, good job on the good work.

Re: BRAND NEW PICS... CAMARO COMPELTED

well, what happened was, i had wrecked it, between the before and after.
so i could have got the same hood again, but it was fiberglass and i decided to go with steel.

with the rockfor fosgate logo, it isnt all solid... so i place it so that you can see the VIN between the lettering and the actual logo.

Re: BRAND NEW PICS... CAMARO COMPELTED

How much was the decal in the back? Also, What was damaged in your accident? I think it looks good. I am usually not a fan of that spoiler as I am a huge fan on the Hawks 5 inch. But you pulled it off very nicely.

I hope you realize that having a Rockford Fosgate sticker on the car doesn't make it faster! Not really a fan of stickers advertising your upgrades and preferences being plastered on the car, but that's your decision. Also, with the mods, it looks like new rims are in order.

I couldn't agree more Scott.
To me,those stickers mean nothing more than PLEASE COME RIP ME OFF!
I totally am against stickers on my vehicles as well, but to each their own.

Re: BRAND NEW PICS... CAMARO COMPELTED

I think it looks pretty good, the changes were definitely improvements, and I think it's pretty trick how the color/stripe pattern is continued in the rear window decal. All you need now are some shiny chrome rims, the stock rims are brining the look down. Some Torq Thrust II's would look nice.

Re: BRAND NEW PICS... CAMARO COMPELTED

Looks good so far, I would take off the rockford fosgate sticker, only because your making it an easy target for thiefs. Its an advertisement for someone to steal your stereo system. I have the same wing and I love it. I think it looks bolder than the lip they come with. Any future plans?

The decal was $40 to get it made/installed. also, when i wrecked it, it was totaled so they said. but as eveyone on this forum knows... inx\surance companieas may say totaled, but we look and say a chellenge.

well, to be honest i dont like performance stickers either... but where i live, we are huge in car audio, and its a good thing to represent what your installing in your car. although, i would never put my engine upgrades on my window/body. thats tacky.

yes, i hate the stock wing it came with and i always wanted one, and after my wreck i decided to do it. and as for plans, i have as lot. my car stands out sooo much that i decided to put some privacy on it, and even it out.
i ordered headlight/taillight covers, and im getting wondows tinted. also looking for parking light covers, but cante find em so i think ill just have to tint them. and then next summer i want to get rims.

yes the goodmark 2 in. i though the 4 inch would look too big for an every day car. do you agree?
