Is it plain? Or is it just me?

The ride is a little stiffer BUT looks and handling make up for it!

Thanks. It was my first mod, wife did it for a Christmas present.
She's a keeper!

I dunno why, but I cant have a solid color car. Which is why as soon as I bought I, I had to do something to it to break up all the yellow. Not to mention, it wouldn't be a true bumblebee if it didnt have some black accents. I was thinking about lowering it, but after buying the rockers and about to buy the splitter, I'm a little hesitant for fear of running over a speed bump, large dip or low drive way and scratching, cracking or breaking them along with the splitter. It does look better, I'll have to admit that.

None is more. Like I've said even Camaro owners are Riceboys at heart. Fight it!

When i look at other Camaro's, most of all owners with darker colors, i don't get that feeling. My car does look good, I'm not denying that, but in this picture where you can see the entire side of the car, to me, it looks plain. Even when the rockers are installed, I still think it will look plain. I want to put some kind of stripe or something on both sides to accentuate the cars already good looks and enhance the appearance on both sides of the car. Any idea's? Anybody with pic's of any kind of stripes/decals done to the sides of their cars they can post up for inspiration?

Yes , that's just you .

If I remember right, the splitter will not really bring the front down much as it is mostly a visual deception as the plastic/rubber air deflector under the car will still hit first, but it will definitely stick out further and may be an issue on steep driveways, and parking blocks for sure!

Ride looks good man! I think if you pull the stripes from the deck, or cover them in the CF vinyl like you did the front (just to the spoiler so it is just the top) you will nail the look your are going for. Modded, not stock, but not over done.

Love seeing the updates! Coming along very well! I am jealous of the rockers! Looks great!

There are many styles to choose from, not sure which type you want to go with... are you looking for painted, full-cover versions like mine... or are you looking for a matte black ZL1 style set? Its a tough decision because it will look good either way I think.

Here's one idea... hope you find what you like, some striping might work but I think it would be a bit too much if you go too thick...

That red and black pic is nice. I have a black car so it is hard to integrate other colors even the matte blacks into it without making it look a bit off IMO. I have yet to see a great black/matte black combo

That's what I was afraid of. Any stiffer simply will not work. I see you are in FL, when I say roads around here have patches on top of patches, on top of patches, on top of patches, I am not exaggerating.

The car I had just before buying the Camara, was a '66 Shelby Cobra replica, the car was a blast to drive, more fun than any car I have ever owned, but only on a smooth road. The suspension was so stiff that on most of our bumpy roads, the car would bounce and feel like she was coming apart even when driving at 20 MPH. That Is the main reason I sold it.

In fact the Camaro is pretty harsh on a lot of our roads.

Takes all the fun out of driving sometimes.

Finally wrapped the trunk. Flows really nice now and im even considering doing the roof, but most likely wont. He is not refered to as the "CarbonBEE".

[Demon War Horse]

Very nice!

[dantemcc]

Thank ya sir. It only took me like ten mins to lay it on. Only problem is, im going to have to redu it. The wrap got cold quick and as I was trimming it, the wrap cracked and went to far and a 1/8 of an inch of paint can be seen where it cracked. Tried to do it in the sun to keep it warm, but it didnt work. Still looks good though.

What brand did you use?

[BradySS]

I think they look better plain. Just lower the car. I think when people start adding stuff to the body it makes the car look a little tacky in a lot of cases. I just took this pic of mine in the garage so the lighting isn't the best but you get the idea. .

BradySS, is it just me or are your rear wheels smaller than the front and if so, how come you did that?
