I like it they way it is op.

Cant do anything with the stripes as of yet, as its been pouring down rain here in Atlanta for almost four days straight. I bought some more wrap that I want to put on just to see it flows well. If not, then I'll take the stripes off as planned and just leave it bare yellow. It has to be two toned. Cant have a solid color car.

Same angle and without the gills. Yeah, I'll say the others were quite right. Looks much better without them.

Have fun with it and take your time, the car is beautiful as it is to start with..

Couldn't say it any better. The biggest way to change a car's appearance is changing the stance and wheels. The proper stance and wheels should be main platform you start with.

I didn't touch the outside appearance at all until I dropped the car and got a set of wheels. Took almost 4 years of searching because I didn't want to jump at the first thing I found. However if I were to keep the stock wheels I would get spacers to make them sit flush with the fenders and lower the car. I have seen that set up before on some camaro's and it looks good but I'm a "less is more" kinda appearance modder.

Next mod I would suggest is tint, which looks like you have done. Makes a nice classy difference, not too over the top.

I think stripes are personal taste thing. I am not really a fan of the hash marks myself, they look like an incomplete stripe package to me.

If you like it that is what matters, it does go with your yellow and black theme.
Personally I think they look better color matched to the body. To me if a different color, other than body, it looks like an afterthought. Also to me color matched, makes he car appear to be lowered.
But everybody has thier taste, I also prefer chrome wheels, but I am old school lol.

Lower it, body colored rockers, SLP fade out gills, remove transformer emblems and maybe the Camaro emblem also, black MRR 228 or 1LE wheels and red painted calipers.

Can I wax the rockers? If my understanding is correct, they are the same same material that the rear diffuser is made out of. I know you cant use any polishing liquids on the diffuser, but since my rockers are painted, I'm wondering if I can.

Yes you can wax your painted rockers. You should wait at least 30 days from when they were painted to allow them to fully cure and outgas 1st.

I wasnt getting back in town to early November, which is when I was going to completely detail the car inside and out again. I'll be getting the diffuser and splitter then and would do it before those two were put on to avoid any damage. Thanks for the info!

Just a thought for you...
Dropped mine 1.25" and had rear diffuser smoothed & painted body color....

lbls1 · 10-01-2015, 09:38 AM

Its fine, but if you want to entertain yourself, then you may want to look into getting a front 1le splitter.

Just add wax and you are good to go!

Does the drop make the suspension any harsher? I am in NE Ohio and most roads are patches on top of patches. Even at stock, it's a very firm ride.

That rear diffuser looks great, very sharp.
