Flat black stripes that run from the chin to the windshield and the rear window to the bottom of the rear bmpr. Black rims w/ wider tires, probably 21", red brake pads if the Brembo's aren't offered on the trim i get, tint out all windows to their legal limit, lower her about 2 inches, get a taller cowl if the factory one isn't beefy enough. Definitely a chin and rear lip spoiler. I might put some badging on the rear sides of the cowl corresponding w/ my trim level like the challenger has if it looks right. Definitley get that kit that you install to your factory head unit (forget what it's called) for better sound quality. Smoke out the rear tail-lights... um, that's all i can think of now beside maybe flowmasters. This'll be a daily driver untill it's paid off so not too many performance upgrades, i'm sure chevy will give me enough bang for my buck... maybe an aluminum gas cap.

I'd want mine silver with black racing stripes, and I really, really like the ground effects kit from the accessory photos. Other than that, just a custom exhaust for me - want it to really have that muscle car sound. Plan on using it to take my girl on dates.

Yeah I love it =), I'd like to see it in white too, & from there debate which would look more appealing, seeing as how black/white/silver are my favorite colors. It's very slick looking imo
I know GhoSSt has one very similar in his/her sig (cept its white)
(http://www.camaro5.com/forums/image....ine=1209435691)
But I'd like to see it with a hardtop + the gfx.
I love how the vert top doesn't hardly take away from the looks / shape of this car, its almost like convertibles were designed based off this car
as opposed to other cars' verts such as the 350z, which the vert version takes a lot away from the looks of the car
pic 1: http://www.mrstitch.com/_borders/Nissan2004Top02.JPG
pic 2: http://www.autointell.com/asian_comp...er-300-196.jpg
I personally wouldn't want a vert tho, it'd mess up my hair...

No vert for me. Either t-tops or a coupe...and we all know that t-tops are done for.

I just know vert's would be too much wind. (for me) T-Tops seem like a very interesting option however I doubt it'd look all that great on this camaro...was it confirmed to not be an option?.
Maybe they'll have a decent sized moon roof. (or panoramic even?)

I guess I was kinda jumping the gun I thought the top to the vert was already shown (was basing it off GhoSSt's sig - then later read it was a photoshop), o well.
if it looks as good as that - it'll be one kickass lookin vert.

Yep, will get the GM Accessories ground effects kit that they are working on for the SS, then just some dark window tint. We'll see how the ride height looks and depending, may get an Eibach pro-kit set of springs to lower it maybe an inch or so, oh and a set of drag radials to burn them up on the track!

Car would be black for me.

- The wheels, I'd like to have the vert concept's wheels... hopefully they're an option.
- Lip spoiler, maybe a more pronounced one if they end up making it.
- RS headlights (I hope they make them!)
- Chrome grille surround trim to really throwback the RS look of yore
- Big fat semigloss chin spoiler
- White hockey stripes
- Might just lower it an inch too

I'm hoping to get my LT v6 powered camaro to look as close to this as possible Although i would favor the Inferno orange over the yellow.I personally would prefer a non-foglamp equiped car(never use them...foglamps that is,a use-less option as far as i'm concerned),and i'm going for some deep-dish crome wheels,hopefully like these(see pic).A taller deck spoiler for the decklid and hopefully some black rocker moldings(rockers look very plain without them),or a minimal ground effects package,and last but not least a RS hideaway headlamp conversion(aftermarket).and maybe some fiber-optic tail light lens?

So the biggest thing I'm thinking of is maybe doing a rear panel that makes the lights look like a Gen I rather than a Gen II. (I know a really good fiberglass guy where I'll be spending some time in 2010). Other than that, probably a drop of an inch or so. I can't really think of anything else huge externally, but internally and especially engine/drivetrain/suspension I could have fun with (I'm getting read up on the LS3 now, used to just look at SBC (350)).

I'm going to see what they offer from the dealer. I'm thinking about getting those hockey stripes, but If I can get them direct I'll install them myself and cut out the middle man. I can also paint them on myself.
