Arrow What Am I Missing?

To me, my car is lacking in the appearance category. I see all these nice black camaros but cant pick out what is different. Any ideas on what i should do to make my car "eye candy" and yes i know all camaros are eye candy, but i want mine to be gourmet eye candy... So please help with ideas.. Thanks!
...and heres some pictures!

Bro, I got the same problem. I'm all blacked out too. I need something else to bring it out a bit. I think I'm gonna do some type of ghost stripe package.

So your trying to get attention. Try a pink mohawk along the center of the hood like the ones the crotch rocket riders use on ther helmets.

Or, you can just be happy with your bad assed looking ride.

Tint on the lights. At least markers, DRLs and back-ups.

Its 2 black in my opinion. Chose a bright contrast color then do little accents like calipers emblems rim accent and small details like tht. The bright colors will pop making the car stand out as opposed to the stealth look.

Paint the calipers! Good mod and it adds a ton on appearance. I get lots of compliments on mine but mine r pink, lol. Stripes wld look good too. Something different tho like the bumblebee stripe or sonething custom. And my fav color on black is blue! Really stands out and its different.

IMO, too much black. if you want subtle accents try CGM stripes, to me they look best on black.

Smoke out the tail lights and side marker lights. Then have some ghost flames / stripes painted on. Finally, have the car shot with a slight metallic clear coat all over.

YELLOW stripes. Just saying. I love mine and everyone that looks at it says it looks good. I want to put wheels on my to. In the spring I'm getting the calipers painted the same color yellow and adding a cam and headers. Look at my garage for more pictures. Good luck and get your wallet ready. LOL

Hood, spoiler, aftermarket wheels (not chrome! ) and maybe some color accenting.

Maybe red pinstripe on the wheels, red calipers, and possibly red hood spears and red accent on the bowties

Like others have said, add some contrast/color accents. Your car is so monochromatic that there is really nothing that grabs a viewers interest to further draw their gaze around your murdered beauty. A little goes a long way.
