Hi there,
I think I would add the spoiler, rockers and front splitter for sure. I really think those rims are detracting from your car (could be the color). I know you bought them but if you're gonna keep them, you need lower profile tires because the sidewall is way to big and then you need to dress the tires. We're looking at an old picture so maybe you've already done that stuff. I personally think the side needs gills too to break it up. I don't like the really wide gills though. There are narrow one's and one's that fade which look really nice.

Lowering the car would be good too if you can afford it.
Throw up a better more recent pic so we can see and give you some more ideas.

J

See? That's the great thing about opinions. In my opinion, all the chrome on modern cars looks cheap and it is very poor quality. I have removed and replaced all of the exterior chrome, except the lug nuts, with matte black and it looks classy.

IMO do some research and then do what you think makes it look 'better'. Everyone has a different idea/opinion on what looks good & what doesn't. Check pictures of other's Camaros here (visit some 'garages'), as well as on line; go to some car shows; go to a local Camaro Club meeting and, even if you decide not to join, check out their cars. Decide what you like and think will look good and then go for it

Your right imo. Can't understand the black wheel thing. They always remind me of 4 donut spares.
You can clean them until the cows come home and they still look cheap. Chrome is expensive today,
that's why its only on top end vehicles.

IMO, Lowering springs, wheels/tires, and spoiler. See where you want to go after that.

Cosmetics? Stripe kits, light blackout kits, lower the car, wider wheels and tires, LED lighting (interior and exterior), Hoods, spoilers, ground effects... sky's the limit!

Easy one.

First and foremost, a matte black rear spoiler would do a lot to compliment your rims and strike a balance with the rear diffuser. Since you had a post 2014/2015 refresh, I would opt for the Z28 style deck lid. I'm not a fan of the refresh's rear, but that the Z28 decklid makes it look a lot better.

After that, I would add a matte black chin splitter to round it out in the front too. May as well get a Z28 style one for that, too.

Extras:

- Matte black vinyl wrap for the side view mirrors
- Matte black center stripe for the hood and deck lid
- LED DRL's (I think these are fog lights on the 2014/2015)

Ground effects (splitter , side rockers, rear diffuser) make a big difference, that my opinion though, so many different way to go about it.


I got rid of all the chrome on mine and blacked everything out.
This is mine
