OK...so now that everything is caught up, here's my latest project. I've ordered new parts from Camaroscotty, and am going to have them custom painted. I just want my car to look different, and I'm really into the details. Here's what I'm doing.

• Front Bowtie - IOM outside with flat black center
• Front SS logo removed
• Side Camaro logo - flat black
• Custom painted SS logos (installed on the cowl) - flat black with IOM center
• Rear taillight bezels - flat black
• Rear SS logo removed
• Rear bowtie - flat black outside with IOM center

Here are some Photoshops to show what it will look like. I'll update when I'm done!

A special thanks to Cory over at Kustom Werx in Conroe, Texas. He did a great job and was very easy to work with.

[Dangeruss]

I just installed the last of my Showstopper Accessories and all I can say is wow! I'd seen some of Pete's stuff before, but wanted to add a few of my own touches. I talked it over with him and he was very happy to work with me. I think the end result is amazing.

[Michael_Js]

Great job! A lot invested in that baby!

[Camaro21]

It can't be...I'm broke now!

[Mindz]

Very nice car Russ. Clean and the amber lighting really sets off the interior.

[Dangeruss]

So I entered my first car show ever this past weekend with my H-Town Camaro Club friends. It was the Chevy Expo and featured a ton of awesome cars, old and new. I didn't really expect to win anything, but I took 1st place in my division!

[colemanvoice]

Congrats on the car show!

Very clean look, nice.

[Gotthat02fire]

Congrats on the Car Show!!!

[TBone]

Man those lights really look good. Car looks really sharp and sounds great.

ENJOY!!!!

I really wanted to buy some new custom wheels, but it just isn't in the budget right now. Instead I decided to just powder coat them and add an IOM stripe.

[Mr Smith]

Very cool!
