Try Show Stoppers' website. They have them unpainted in polished or brushed finish.

Got any pics of the rims? What kind of exhaust did you go with?

Bummer man. What brand of rims did you get?

As for the exhaust, I know when I had the MRT v1.0 I liked it a lot. Yeah I knew it wasn't going to sound like a V8 but they had their own unique sound. If you want it to get "closer" to a V8 sound I would recommend getting some headers.

You should REALLY post some pics.

I can see where that would look nice but the thing with the ZL1 rims is you have to have the rest of the package too. The V6 front fascia and rear don't look as aggressive. I would suggest the Stillen front splitter and the ZL1 rockers and I would bet you will like the look a lot more.

I just put an order in for the Factory Reproductions Style 41 (1LE) Gloss Black rims.

Do you have a CAI? It will change the exhaust note some. Some exhausts need time to settle in also.

I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed it was 55-degrees and I was able to put the top down on the camaro. But by the time I was getting close to home it had started snowing and there was loads of salt and sand on the roads. I was just thinking about all that sand getting into areas where I could never find it to get the car fully clean.

Woke up in a heavy sweat! I think I need to see a therapist.

I want it warm, I want to drive my car and I want it now. Right now. Whew I feel so much better just saying it.

Is that part of a 12 step program?

With any luck this is hopefully our last snow storm of the season. Although I wouldn't hold my breathe. I remember getting 14" of snow at the end of April back in '97 or '98.

I'm down. When does it come out? ....EDIT: JULY 19TH, 2013 I will have to play it by ear if we go on the opening weekend. My dad, grandpa, and stepdad's birthdays are all that same week.

I ordered my personalized plates and got myself on a waiting list to get the Factory Reproductions Style 41 Gloss Black rims, see picture below. I cannot wait to either one.
