I think it looks good as-is. The wing, wheels, and the color scheme make it look unique, but subtle. I wouldn't put blackouts on it, because I don't like blackouts on anything but black cars. Clear lenses for the front signals would be cool.
Oh, yeah, I forgot: See if you can get your exhaust tips higher and closer to the bumper. They look like they hang kinda far down there. Tighter, shorter tips would look cleaner, and more finished. Maybe a little larger diameter, too.

Leave it black, and use a tire treatment wipe to keep it nice and shiny.
The wing looks fine black. The one on my Red TA is black and it looks good b/c it goes with the black wheels and t-tops. You do need some bigger tips though. They look kinda funky now. And a drop too. lower it an inch or so and you'll be lookin' good!!
That car is pretty sweet. I like the older T/A wings better though, like mine
I like evrything about it, just refit the tips or get new ones, and bigger wheels. Also, really fat rear tire looks banging on any f-bod bod. My friend's 76 Camaro has 275's in the back, :hail:

Please don't put clear turn signals on it. In my opinion they look *** awful on anything.
Personally I think a Camaro spoiler would look better, but the aerowing doesn't look bad.
It kinda looks like a cartoon in that first pic. Very clean.

I'm not liking the wing, IROC wing would have Been better I think and also some pin striping. it's just too plan. other than that I love it.
but remember, every hotrod is just an extendtion of it's owners imagination. So really you can’t take our word for it.

NEEDforSPEED: Your car is t!ts. You haven't gone overboard and everything works together. I like the T/A wing and wheels. I agree about lowering it and shortening the exhaust tips. You're gonna trip a pedestrian with those things and get sued.
Nice Car.

Do whatever you want to do to it so that YOU are happy with it, not us. Its not our car.
If it WAS my car, I would paint the wing blue, remove the license plate frame, lower it, and tint the windows. I like the wing on it, and I like the hood. Nice car overall

I really like that car. I like the wing/cowl/rim combo.
My suggestions:
1.) Lower a bit
2.) Get new exhaust tips
3.) Tint the windows
4.) Hump the car.

LOL The 383 in the Camaro would be WAAAY better than buying a stock Monte SS. Way faster too. A little more expensive though. You have pretty nice tires on the ar now. What kind and size are they?

You guys need to see the wings on the car IN PERSON
:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: I love the look!
What I would do:
Solid Paint
IROC Lower pinstripes
Clear Sidemarkers
Tint
Different Wheels (The GTA wheels don't work for me)
Heres my beauty: (Currently doing bodywork though)

1.) Fix the tips
2.) Black Cherry paint job
3.) Lowered
4.) Tint
The car would be bad as hell after that. I'm just not a big fan of that color blue. It doesn't look mean enough to me.

I like your car both with the white and without. You don't see alot of that color. Like already said the only thing I would change is the exhaust tips. Don't know what is under the hood but a 406 or 434 sounds good to me. That will be my next engine choice.

As you see in my pic above, I have the light gray gfx's too, and I would love to have a solid color throughout the car.
Just as IROCThe5.7L said, its much cleaner. Same reason I shaved the side moldings the other day (Thanks Tom for the tips
) MUch cleaner look, IMO...
The pic you photochopped with the solid blue looks awsome IMO and thats what I would do.
For wanting to know what we think, you sure are takeing a pretty hard stance on the subject...

the exsaust needs to be fixed. Im not a huge fan of the wing either, but it is different. other than that, LEAVE IT!! it looks like you are more for the drag race ting anyways, so dont bother lowering it. Just get that 383 you were talking about.
