VERY COOL!!!! I also have a red Camaro. However, my back seats are cloth instead of leather. Where did you get those seats or did they come with the car. VERY NICE!!!!! Love the red interior also!!:hail:

Very nice looking car. What size rubber are you running out back and is there any rubbing with them?

I think those rims look great on the car but the sidewall on the back looks to short.

2 Words: Lower it! Dang dude, that looks pretty nice right now as it is, but I guarantee that if you lower it, it will look even better.

seats

did those seats bolt right up or did you have to make them work? and are the front seats out of a third gen? I think that your car is sweet.

I always questioned what my red 91 would look like with those wheels. I think your car looks great outside. I'm not a big fan of red interiors, but you have redeemed yourself with the black seats. Would the 40 series tires you mentioned give you more section height from the rim to the outer tread area? It looks as if the rear have a more lower profile tire than the fronts. Overall, that car is very nice. I do like.

the seats are out of a 95 Z28 and yes, they bolt right in, all fourth gen seats bolt directly into our cars, no modification needed...and yes the rear tires are a lower profile, but when you stand the front wheel up with the back they are identical hieght..that was what I was going for, but didn't think it would be like this...oh well, when I burn them up, i'll buy 275-40-18, after all, they are only $200 ea!!!! Next time i'll get it right!

Who makes the best lowering springs for my car? Need to buy them...thanks for all your comments though, glad I could be of some help..


btw...I have over 60 pics on my home page....

Man... those wheels set it all off! I know what I'm getting next. Where did you get the chrome wheels? Are they aftermarket, or did you have them dipped?

The only thing that would make your car better are these:
