appearance question

Posted By: Rg320camaro On: 03-15-2010 @ 01:19:25         Reply | Edit
Ok, I'm ready to do something appearance wise to make it stand out more. I really liked how my sixxer turned out, I just wanted different wheels for it and then it would've been done with looks.

So, what should I do for this one? I am going to get the front and rear CAMARO fill-ins again, but in black. But I don't know what else to do. I'm kinda partial to stripes, but it does have the black top. I was thinking, maybe some black hockey stripes??

Next question, many people think I should take the Z28 badges off, to make it a sleeper. But I kinda like em, and you'll immediately know its not a V6 when you hear it cammin' lol

some black hockey stripes with that black top would look badass...

take the badges off...if you lose people will be like "oh its not even a z" and if you win they'll be like "holy crap its not even a z"

dont do hockey stripes. i think they look cheap and tacky. there are some cars where it looks perfect, but on most 4th gens, just doesnt look right.

i would also say to get a grill. billet would probably look the best.

clear/smoked corners?

tint

lower

= sexy car

Yeah do the grille.

Maybe it's just me but I think clear corners on any car look stupid and kinda cheap. Makes the car looks bland or 'black and white'. Smoked would look sweet though!

my corners ARE cheap...they fill up with water sometimes. but with the silver body, i thought the yellow lights looked like shite.

everyone has their opinion....but id go with a black billet grille (eBay $45-50) unless you plan on some chrome wheels.

I don't plan on chrome wheels, just wider tires maybe 295s. I'm also gonna get some of that Night shades spray on tint for my corner lights and my tails.

i wouldnt get a black billet grill. because it is a metallic color, i would put a chrome grill on, and leave the back part body color (rather than painting it black like many do). in the day, you will only see the chrome grill, but at night you will be able to see the metallic background.. and it looks nice.

Oh, I have those on my car already since I go to my parents' house every now and then a few hours away. They're hidden in my grill, buy I slide the actual repellar off and keep it in the car so you can't see it.

yeah that whistler mod adds almost as much HP as some steeeeekers....add that then rotate the air in your tires and youve gained about 35+HP or it will at least keep you from taking out an 8 point buck at 70MPH
