Couple thoughts

Just wanted to bounce a couple ideas off of my C5 family.

I have a RJT SS and am considering some cosmetic upgrades, here are the thoughts so far.

For the front end:

Heritage grill painted matte black, smoked tint headlight armor for headlights, turn signals, paint along inside of grill opening like so.






Remove chrome CAMARO lettering on front fender and replace in same spot with CAMARO in black lettering along with black and white v flags




For the rear:

Remove stock SS badging, replace with black SS, Headlight armor smoked tint for taillights, paint rear deck and taillight area matte black and add matte black CAMARO across trunk.





Rims:

Powder coat rims matte black with RJT lip like so




Windows:
25% all the way around, 25% down 6" of windshield.

Thoughts?

Also MPD Zforce hood and MPD spoiler to be added later, still toying with what I want to do paintwise with the hood.

I want something that's different and subtle but not in your face, if that makes sense.

Good choices...I have a RJT too, been thinking about getting the heritage grill. I want Black chrome wheels. You are going in the right direction. So far the only thing I have done is the window tint, the bank account needs some time to recharge.

Very nice . I hear you on the bank account recharging, lol. I figure the more I get together to get painted at once the better deal I might be able to get.

The only thing I would do a little differently is the "SS Badging". What type of black is it going to be? It might look out of place on RJT, is there anyway you can get black chrome, or are you looking for an all matte black look? Sounds good.

They belong to Dangeruss, here's the original thread.

I agree I really like the looks of them.
