Wash, rinse, dry, polish,wax. There you go, IT WILL look better.

Personally I'm not a fan of black wheels. There are some rides with black wheels that I really like though. My problem is when someone says this is ugly and that is ugly. Everyone has there own vision. Just remember, chrome was king on Pony cars, and Muscle cars for a long time. (Telling my age)

Taste is subjective, but good taste not so much and liked more often than not so look at others rides for a while and make up choices for yourself... Yours a v-6 and that year you need a rear spoiler, some stripes would be nice, you shaved the name and left it blank how about some faded gill stripes or some better wheels the money just keeps adding up and thankfully most window tinters can do stripes and they can be baught for a lot cheaper than g.m. prices, mine I got for 250$ from American car craft, you should look at vendors sites like phastek and there are of course a ton of stuff on the net and ebay; but I have had crap luck for getting cheap stripes on there as the idiots might as well fold them and send them in a envelope if they don't use a tube a square box is not the way to ship and I returned (..sort of they did not want them back)....third time I gave up..... there is a million looks for different people, for one a cheap upgrade would be finding a local tire store someone traded their SS wheels in and buy them up for cheap and go 20s.....

good luck!

And yes chrome does belong on a Camaro.....

The nice thing is vinyl for hood spears or rocker stripes or other accents is cheap, I have changed my looks over the years at least three times. Changing Camaros only once...

Not my car so I could care less; however, as stated earlier chrome looks out of place on the 5th gen platform. Im not trying to 'pimp out' my ride or have a flashy ride to make it look more expensive than it is to impress people on the road.

Nice car man! I'd definitely focus on getting a spoiler first, like one you would find on a standard SS
