i say go FI and call it a day. then again, i am one of those people that would rather add power than attempt to improve the looks of an already awesome looking car.

I would do the rims. The ZL1 kit is just that a KIT, not a ZL1, making your car something it's not, not MY stlye...
good luck in your desicion and to each his own!!

ZL1 front bumper-to rid your car of that goofy mail slot. Keep your SS badging intact.

The SS already has nice wheels imo. Get the ZL1 front, it will change the whole look of the car.

And change the grill too. The stock one looks like crap compared to the ZL1 grill.

I'm not trying to make it a ZL1, just like the look of it. Not like I'm slapping ZL1 badges all over

The biggest reason I didn't get the SS was the mail-slot. Get the new nose. 22 " wheels will make the car ride like crap on bumpy roads.

This, I would stick with factory wheel/tire size and get the ZL1 front end. Powder coat or paint or plasti dip your wheels or something.

Really Dr. Phil? You diagnosed that from his one post on the camaro forum? Leave the psychoanalysis bs out of it and talk cars. Good lord some people have no idea where the line is...

^^^^This guy...

How would I know I dont like it until after I read it? It was only after I read it that I realized how absolutely ridiculous and time wasting it was.

And maybe that thread isnt about cars...good thing I didnt start it...? are you for real here?

I'm done now...:troll:

This.

And I'd go for the ZL1 bumper conversion, because it looks awesome... depending on what wheels you were looking at.
