Love the chrome wheels - looks hot on that CGM!

That looks much better than stock height. Probably still has a lot of ground clearance underneath, since these cars sit so high to begin with.

The car looks good lowered!

Just IMO, you should have not gone 3'' in the back, should have gone with 2'' for a better looking stance, the rear looks a bit to low.

Why not just order the car with the optional polished wheels? I would not trust the durability of the aftermarket chromed finish.

U took the boxy border off from around the muffs ?

King Mouse · 08-16-2009, 10:42 AM

Looks great man!

Thrillz · 08-16-2009, 10:43 AM

Is it just me or the camaro look funny lowered that much. Love the rest of the car its awesome.

Matt'sSS · 08-16-2009, 10:49 AM

Absolutely beautiful, I love it!

I've been thinking about doing similar with mine.

If you dont mind my asking, what did the chrome cost you? Any idea how much weight it added?

That looks gooood.MY next thing will be chroming the wheels,looks way better than GM polish. What did it set you back on getting your wheels chromed$?

Cost about 700 to chrome the wheels. I liked the stock wheels and did not want to get anything aftermarket for the wheels. I've got this guy who will do a chrome replacement for your old wheels and the chrome has a lot of durability. I've got another vehicle that has 33,000 miles on the chrome wheels and it still looks new. No burns no scuffs.

I haven't had any clearance problems. Not even in driveways for the frontend. And with the right dampening setup, the car drives better than stock, without feeling like its too rough. It's actually really smooth for a lowered car. Pedders Xa is a great product.

Unless its Pedders mods for road course tracks then I'm all for it...

Nice car either way... I'm probably just too old school...

Your not old school. We all have different styles and uses for our cars. I have 4 vehicles in my garage and this camaro is for a little cruising around town and car shows. So I need the stance for looks. But I also drive it around the canyons, and with it lowered...it just hugs the road.
