Cleaned her all up after a long rest...

Been sitting about a year with very little to no driving on the street. Replaced the bad battery and washed, polished and waxed her on Easter. Started right up(of course!) and took her around and blew her out on the canyon. Tell me what you guys think!

How many miles does she have, not gonna lie; it's probably one of the few 3rd gen camaros that ive seen and liked.

Your car is gorgeous. What company made your Hood? Mine broke apart at high speed and yours just looks like better quality

Re: Cleaned her all up after a long rest...

I'm not sure i purchased it off craigslist in poor condition in primer, and did alot of glass work to make it look and fit properly. If i take a guess, its extreme dimensions, because it was really poorly made. I nearly reglassed the entire thing, adding 1/2 to the hood edges because the gap was HUGE and wavy. The paint shop also added and sanded some glass and filler on the whole thing. It really is solid and sturdy now.

I used Eibach Sportline Springs. It lowered the car 1.5 inch.... After buying the wheels I chose Falken for tires; but with a lil lower profile due to clearance.

If you don't want to lower your Camaro that much; I think Eibach makes a Pro Kit that lowers the car about an inch..... I've also seen a lot of Third Gens that look great that haven't been lowered. Just depends on what look you want.

Definitely needs some wider tires to top off the look, but it looks great.

Very sharp. That pic looks familiar. I've been looking forward to May for a while now. I get to enjoy your car for a whole month now. Thanks for representing us well in the calendar.

You've probably been asked this a million times before but how do you like the sportlines? I'm ordering springs today and I'm torn. I'm afraid it's gonna ride like crap and sit too low.

Yeah I really like the Sportline Springs..... I like the look too. The car rides really stiff though. Mine is not a Daily driver so I was cool with the idea. I also used KYB struts.
