Finally got some pics of my car
So I finally got some pics of my car. Just looking to see what you guys think of it. It needs lowered and windows tinted other than that I really like how it looks. It has 17x9.5 ZO6 rims with 285/40/17 Kumhos.

tire shine obsessed...but i know what you mean. Im looking at the whole car.
It looks good color scheme is pretty cool. Although ill be honest i would have left the gfx silver, black makes it look like it doesnt have any from far away. Looks great either way i just always think the gfx should be painted a lighter color then the main of the body or just keep them body color. Great choice of wheels

I cant tell from the picture if its just the shadow or not but that left side really does look like its sticking out compared to the right. Got another picture?

I like it because it's different compared to the usual Camaros being posted (beside Jekyll&Hyde's). I like the paint scheme. Post some pics after a wash/polish. I'd really like to see it when it's all "shined" up. Don't forget to polish the hell outta those rims, and as stated above, tire shine.
Also, I think it would look bitchin if you did the Red Tail light mod, and tinted them a bit, just to have it blend with the colour combo of the car.
Please keep us posted.
EDIT: If I were you, I'd take some black electrical tape, and put it in the middle of your tails, to see what it looks like if the line were painted black. It might look good. Just a suggestion though.

Ya, I just wanted you to post a rear pic to see what the 285's look like on the rims, I cant really tell. I also just wanted to see how wide it would look becuase I got 275's waiting to be put on my car once I get it back, just wanted a general idea.

Looks great. I think I'd also spray the GFXs silver. It will def. clean up the overall apperance. I'd also suggest giving her a 2" drop all around and putting some grid tail lights on the back.

Re: Finally got some pics of my car
This is my brothers car, having seen it in person I can say the pictures really don't do the car justice. There are a lot of subtle mods like shaved emblems that you can't see and the car is very strait. It's got that smoothed over iroc look to it.
The two tone paint job really makes the car look a lot shorter than it is which is why it will look wicked once we get it lowered a bit. In person the car looks 2-3" wider and 2-3" lower than a camaro should.
My wife is a photographer so we'll get some good picture of the car once he gets it cleaned up.
