This is what she looked like when I first bought her in Oct. The first thing we did was tint the windows.

Painted the rear defuser and had the stripes taken over the spoiler, blacked out the rear tailights and put Retro RS Badging on it. New Flowmaster 40 series were also installed and the BBK CAI

I was not happy with the way the paint was yellowish on my front bumper, back bumper, gas cap so I bitched to GM enough (where I purchased my car) and they said they would have have all that repainted on GM. Since I had also extended my stripes into the front bumper, they agreed to restripe the car also. So I figured this was the perfect time to add the ground effects and new hood (thank you tax refund). So this saved me some money. Then had to wait a week before we could put the stripes on it.

New sinister hood, street scene ground effects. Also removed the RS badging on back and went with the chevy bow-tie (white with black center) Since it had no stripes we call her WHITEOUT

Stressed for more about a week on what design to do for the new stripes, used my friends from facebook and also Camaro5 fb page to give me some design ideas. I was stumped until my buddy Derrick Hawkins (he is in my camaro club and loves to play with photoshop showed me a moch up of what my car could look like with different stripes. So here is what we chose for her.

Bad Vibe Gets her Attitude back, matte black stripes return but with the new bumble bee stripe pattern to accentuate the hood.

Daily Driver
 
I drive this car everyday - 200 miles minimum and about 4 hours a day back and forth to work. Thats 1,000 miles a week (not to count what I do when I am not at work) and she is getting 29.4 miles to the gallon at 77mph on cruise control.

Links fixed.

Sterling 05-26-2011 06:33 PM

Wow... that's turned into one sweet ride!

Nice job! Looks bad ass.

brandotron 05-26-2011 06:48 PM

That looks great man! Very well done!

Nice work scott! Now slow down and let some of us catch up.lol

DevilsReject97 05-26-2011 08:39 PM

You guys should really see it in person, it's a very well done ride. For what it's worth, it sounds better than a lot of the V6's I've seen (regardless of car/engine).

Nice to see the progression Scott, but the pics still don't do her justice! :D

MIT'13 05-26-2011 08:41 PM

Wow you've really created an awesome car here.
Glad to see people are doing really cool things with the V6!

PETRA 05-26-2011 08:47 PM
