Agree the wheels would be a good start. I'd also get some stripes and a body kit in an offset coler, like silver. I have a REd Jewel car. I'm adding flat black hockey/hood stripes and a flat black 3DCarbon body kit. It's in the shop now and suppose to be done next week. I all ready replaced my factory SS rims with a set of aftermarket with flat back spokes and body color matched drums.

I like the factory rims if the trim ring is color matched. Thankfully, I have a SIM camaro and everything comes color matched to SIM from the factory.

(I do plan on upgrading my wheels eventually, but will probably stay 18" with lightweight wheels and Nitto tires)

Chrome trim rings did it for me. People think I have an SS.
I like the old school dished in look. No curb rash.
Inferno Orange pops and compliments the chrome.
I would also consider a good chrome set of 18's as I have the tires.

If you are seeking something closer to the concept car look (which I was, too) the 20" wheels wont quite get the job done. 21's look good to me, but you have to hunt around for decent pricing due to the odd size. Last week, a guy next to us at a stoplight says "i have the exact same Camaro at home. Why doesnt mine look this good?!?". He thought wheels, too (and he has the 20"). All comes down to personal taste

to me, like others are saying, when i seen an LS with Those wheels, it just changes the look of the car so much.

So, I am not for sure, but it SEEMS the consensus is wheels and tires. I believe I will began a search for 20" rims and get lo pro tires. I found some on a website that are black, but have polished aluminum highlights. I may go that direction. So many possibilities, so little funds. I asked the wife last night and she said a tag would make it look better.

The two simplest exterior mods that change a cars appearance totally are window tint and wheels.

Side note: digging the color choice!

OP, I agree with you... No your car doesn't look good, and yes you are crazy... J.K.

Let's get some nice wheels on there and post some new pix.

20" wheels and you still have the SUV stance. You gotta drop it to make it look right.

If I were to drop mine, I would scrape front, middle and rear, every day I drive it around Phoenix. Speed bumps, water drain gutters, curbs...everywhere. I scrape it now!
