Update: Car Finished!
Well here it is, the car is done until later this year when I add the new big brakes, tubular K-Member/A-Arms & the air ride kit in the fall or more probably next winter, I am still waiting for 2 parts to come in the mail 1: New front turn signal lenses (same kind) 2: Billet Camber/Caster Plates, here are the pictures that you all have been waiting for...enjoy!
I'll start off with the new HID headlights, it was a breese to install, it only took about 2 hours which consists of 2 power wires & a ground that hooks up to the factory wiring, the only mod that has to be done is to trim the headlight holders/buckets on the back so that the back part of the lights fit through...that is it! after that little mod everything was in place and lighting up the garage LOL! I am really happy with these lights because it's something different and I have only seen 1 other 3rd gen Camaro that has them...I think that I am the only one in Canada with these headlights on this type of car...
...here are a couple of close up shots of the HID's...
...here is a pic of where I put the ballast's, right in the front...outta site & keeping cool from the air flow, now I just have to tidy up the wires neatly and we are in business...
...you can see here the side shot of the headlight & wheels tucked in nicely, kinda like a Pro-Street Look from the front...
...continued...

...from the back side, I love it how it looks...
...I put my iPhone on the rear rim to give you guy's a general idea on how deep the lip really is...
...finally the car itself on the, well not technically on the ground but on the ramp lift, the stance is nice and the new Bose "Octane" Rims really make it look wild & unique!!!

Car looks amazing Nick, the TTII's don't suit the hard lines of a thirdgen. Excellent choice.... what is different between these wheels and the Boze Stingers?

Re: Update: Car Finished!
I like it very nice! However i real think you should rewire the hids with relays and better wireing. There are prewired harness available for under $30.00. At my buddies shop we have installed almost every brand out there on anything from fords,gm,Ferrari,ect... and it is always best to use the relay harness. Cheap insurance. I have seen wires melt or the copper over heat and corrode. In 95% of cars they will be needed!
Oh and any reason you didn't paint the headlight pockets black? And for that realy perfect look I thing you should remove the bolts on the front nose and replace them with stock unpainted one. So it doesn't look like a tape and spray paint job.

Sweet car, I usually don't like yellow but it looks kick *** with the black on it tho. I looked in to getting awhile ago HID headlights in mine but when I email the company they said that they didn't have a kit that fit my camaro. What ones did you get and from where?

looks great, but I can't say I'm crazy about the headlights. you'll have to let us know how well it lights up the road during a night time cruise.

Re: Update: Car Finished!
Here are 2 full shots of the car that I took yesterday in the shop, ouTside pics will happen after the snow melts away...plus I still have to intall the "Eibach Sportline Spring Kit" & the new "Camber/Caster Plates" in there because it still sits a tad too high, that should give the car the look/stance that I want!
