Apperance Mod Suggestion(s)?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BaylorCamaro · 02-03-2010, 08:10 PM

Alright so I've done the exhaust and CAI on my car and there isn't much more I want to do that won't void the warranty, (will headers void warranty?). So I'm trying to think of some appearance mod I could do. At my College there are about 3-4 other black Camaro's just like mine (bone stock though). Originally I wanted to get white stripes painted on mine, but instead I got a clear bra installed on the car, I'm kind of disappointed that I did that so soon because now I can't get stripes that run the length of the car, but I guess it's good it was done early to avoid wear and tear on the car..

Anyways I'm open to suggestions for something I could do to the appearance that would look good and possibly make it stand out (nothing goody though)! I don't want new wheels as I really like the ones I have now. I've been trying to think up some paint job / stripes or something that could go on the car but I can't think of anything that would avoid the bra that's installed on the car...

Depends on you. What would you change? Black out the tailight chrome? Remove Camaro letters? Lots of folks doing their thing. I'm staying stock for now, CGM speaks for itself.

Have you thought about hood spears? That's what I'm going to do with mine. Here is a thread that shows a bunch:

SupremacyCustoms sells Seibon carbon fiber products, including the best looking carbon fiber trunk with an attached spoiler, really unique hoods, and even carbon fiber body panels.

I thought about Murdering out the Camaro but honestly I like the gold bow tie on the black car, and the dark tail lights from the RS package look great IMO.

I was thinking of hood spears actually, I just haven't found a place that sells them, aside from the RS and SS hood spear. But here's the problem, the bra covers about a quarter of the hood, so could you lay the hood spears down across it? Or would that cause a problem?

Check Camaro5's Wiki. Those hood spears are listed here.

Thanks for the link! I think right now I'm going to get the RS Hood Spear along with front fender hash's.

I ended up doing the hood spears and side vents to mine...just a subtle change and i love it...i decided to do vinyl to decide if i liked it before i painted the car.

The heritage grille is now available. More expensive options would be the wheels

firengnred · 02-03-2010, 10:03 PM

I know you're concerned about the clear bra but, this is bad A$$
