Looking for opinions on additional mods

So far I've:
- lowered it 1" with Hotchkis springs
- painted the wheels myself
- painted the bowties and tail light bezels myself
- tinted the windows 20%
- tinted all the side makers/turn signals
- custom HID projectors from TRS with color shift halo's from AAC
- fender hash stipes installed myself
- powder coated calipers thanks to Mike the Powdercoater
- yellow inlays on the front & back SS
- SS emblem added to each side of the cowl with yellow inlays
- added Doug Thorley cat-back exhaust installed myself
- done some work to the interior like footwell lights, back up camera, ect...

So I'm just looking for opinions/input. Not sure I'm going to do any more to the exterior, I don't want to overdue it. But I do want to add a touch more yellow.

Looks good. Personally the yellow is throwing me off a bit. Your accent and wheels are gray (?) so everything is gray / black then you have yellow calipers and SS on the hood.
Myself, I would have stuck with Black/Gray. But I wonder what "camaro" would look like in yellow to match the hood & calipers? Or maybe a small yellow pinstripe accent on either side of your gray accent stripe?

BUT IT LOOKS SWEET AS IS. (too much yellow might make it go wrong)

Not sure how additional yellow will look, but if wanting to add small amounts ... could repaint the mailbox insert yellow to match. Other options could be thin pinstriping along the ridge of the fenders, doors and rear quarters. Hood Spears could be sharp, but not sure it would go with the grey accents already on the car and the yellow SS emblems on the hood would be nullified.

I love the look of yer car. It's perfect the way it is. But if you did want more yellow you could paint/vinyl the ridge thingys (I don't know what they're called) infront of the rear wheels yellow.

Rwavers – Your car looks great! If you want to know what it would look like with more yellow accents, maybe somebody here can photoshop them for you.

next big thing, imo, should be a GFX kit.

Thanks for the input guys. I'd like to do ground fx, but she is my DD & I'm afraid to reduce the clearance that much. I might try to add very thin yellow pinstripes to the fender hashs.

maybe get the Heritage grill, but get it yellow to go with the breaks and yellow SS. I've seen photos of the Heritage grill in a different color than the main color, and its cool looking.
