Oh and while I was out there I had another friend come in and Airbrush my Camaro on the back door of my trailer....

WOW, talk about knowiing people, FOOSE original C5............Kudos, looks very tight

That's one fine Camaro! I asked someone else here on C5 if the lowering effected the ride/handling. He said something like "not really noticable except for getting in and out of the car". What is your opinion of the lowering....any handling or bottoming out....speed bump problems.....tire rubs....anything? I think it improves the tire to wheel well spacing and gives an overall balanced look. Any comments on ride or handling would be appreciated....I want this look...maybe

Your car is really good looking. Just my opinion, the wheels are too big. Can you get those in 20"s? When the car is lowered the tire sidewall appears to short giving it a weird look. A tire with a bit higher side wall on 20"s will make your car look even better.

These are both examples of what it could look like. The first is lowered on stock wheels and the second is the Hennessey. The Hennessey also has 20" wheels.

Dude...you had Chip do your stripes?

Ok...talk about JEALOUS!!!

You are one lucky guy and your Camaro is absolutely AWESOME. LOVE the two tone paint. Great job.

Oh, and I'd like to know about the ride as well...better...worse, etc.

I had thought about springs for a lowering kit, but was just contemplating doing coilvers instead.

Chip didn`t do tghe painting part of it ...Chip did the lay out of the stripes and picked the colors....Mitch Lanzini of Lanzini Body works just up the street from Chip`s did all the painting.....Mitch was also on Overhaulin he ended up painting 30 of the Overhaulin Cars
