Fellow Camaro5-ers…help me figure this out!
Hi all…so I've been mulling a decision here as to whether to make some changes. I LOVE my '11 VR 2SS/RS vert (5k miles) and have been thinking about modding it. Prior to getting it..the ABM really caught my eye. When the HWSE came out..it really made me think about what I wanted to do.
So..I've been considering: 1) Keep my 2011 VR Vert and do some mods (GFX and/or add a ZL1 front end) 2) Keep my 2011 VR Vert and try to "Hot Wheels" it out like this guy did with his Synergy Green one (awesome job I think) -> http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ferrerid=25187 3) Just go to the HWSE (will it keep its value?) So my initial thought is that I don't hate my VR at all. I like the VR look with the black top. I'm thinking if I SLP it out with wheels and a new hood, that might do what I want. Then I think maybe I will just add the ZL1 front end and add ZL1 wheels and a hood. So..I throw this out to the Photoshop guys or wherever this should belong to give me some ideas. IF I stayed with my VR, I"d probably add GFX (not sure if they would be black or VR) and probably add a ZL1 front. With the color being VR..I don't think I can do much in the way of decals (like the flame on the side of the HWSE). Or..maybe I should just go to the HWSE because or the color. Anyway..here's some pics. I"m not looking to get flamed…just wondering what some of my fellow Camaro5 brothers and sisters think. ![]() ![]() Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Consider this your "artistic sandbox"! TnT

Holy crap!!! Dude - that's friggin awesome!!!! I love the rims/wheels, the flame and the ZL1 front. That looks amazing while still not looking cheesy. What rims are those and what color of flame would you suggest?
Also diggin the quad exhaust. Damn well done Bruno!!!!!

Wheels
The wheels are GM ,Black Zl1 machined faced with painted red stripe like the original Hot Wheels Chrome Green Camaro.
The stripe depend painted or vinyl. I would go painted in candy red or ghost pearl. Hope this helps Bruno

Thanks Bruno
Quote:
1. Are those GM standard unpainted GFX? 2. Is that a generic diffuser that would accommodate quad exhaust or a specific one? 3. I've searched all over for those Eagle F1's with raised white lettering. Did you pull those from somewhere or just make the letters white. I think that just looks kick ass! Thanks again!

I am not Bruno, but to me:
1. Looks like the standard ZL1 lower body trim that matches the ZL1 front & back bumpers. 2. Looks like a standard ZL1 rear bumper & quad exhaust. 3. Only seen this on show cars. Bruno, Kapuskasing is way up there. My mom is from Timmins, but you are even more Great White North. |

#2. Can't stand white lettering on certain cars and Camaros are one of them.

Just circling back with some pics of what my ride is turning into. Not quite done..but getting closer. I have the grill, I just need to put it on. Probably won't change my hood stripes. And also not sure if I want to put the ghost flame on…but I'm liking it more and more (since my wife won't let me get a new HWSE!!!)
