Exterior
I don't have too much planned for the exterior in the near future. I really want to get some rims to replace the stock salad shooters for summer. I'll get pictures posted as soon as I do anything.
I just got my new stainless steel laser cut Z28 emblems, from a fellow Camaroz28.com and LS1tech member. I finally got the car cleaned up a little and got a picture taken, but I'll take some better ones soon.
I found some time to put the berger panel on. It was a little more difficult that I thought it would be to get the old panel off, but it wasn't really all that bad.
BEFORE and AFTER pics:
Custom-made 5.7 emblems from YourEmblems.com:
New exhaust tips came in today. They're 3A Racing 62-2507. 3-1/2" dual oval stainless steel tips, with 2-1/4" inlets. I think I'll wait until I get my Flowmaster 80 series in and get my tailpipes centered to put them on.
I got the tips put on today, after cutting the tailpipes, to make them sit flush with the bumper. I'm going to have to put something in, to extend the right tailpipe out a little further though. The left tip is perfectly how I want it, but the right is still too far towards the center. You can also see my new stainless Z28 license plate frame in the pictures too.
Here's my best mod yet. My 17" GM ZR1 rims. They came off a local guy's '98 SS. I basically got a steal on them. I got the 4 rims and 3 Bridgestone Fuzion ZRi 275/40/W17 tires, all for $250. The tires have a ton of tread left too. I just need to find another one, and get them mounted on the rims and put on the car. (Getting put on right now. Will have pics at the end of the week, or whenever I get the car back from the shop.)
They're now on!!!!:
I bought some VHT Nite-Shade and tinted the corners, side markers, and 3rd brake light. I really like how it turned out. I'm debating whether or not to do it to the tail lights too. I'm not sure how I'd like it with the Berger panel done.
I bought a Billet Grille from the company MotorEnergy off eBay.
I wasn't really happy with the way it looked. So, I decided to paint it semi-gloss black, to match the tinted corners and everything else on the car. Plus, the license plate looked dumb. So, I ordered an SLP license plate bracket that should be here later this week.
