Default Yet Another Wild Hair: 09 Camaro update

yep, got another one, about an hr ago, decided to update the 09 camaro since i was getting tired of the way it looked. since i took the deep dish rims off the z i figured they would look tight on the camaro, and i was right i also realized i had blue glow and blue calipers that needed a new home and the camaro seemed like a good place to put em.

the end result is this:






i'm really pleased with how much of a difference the rims made. i might have to lower it a little bit though, it sits a little too high for my liking.

thanks guys, i'm really liking the way it looks. i went ahead and lowered it, and put some spacers on the front to make them stick out a little more.

here's pics of the new final product

Very nice, sits great! The paint is flawless, as usual. The paint on the grill could be better, in my opinion.

thanks for the feed back, the paint is far from flawless, the line between the silver and black is pretty bad in some spots, but it looks awesome from far away haha. and the grille was done with silver sharie

Thats hawt. The lowering really set it off. But the front doesnt seem really "mean" enough. Try something like Texan's chin spoiler on his "F-bomb"

well i found the rubbing problem in the front, foglight wires, so i went to move them and fount out i had superglued them in and had to take them out using a hammer and spare driveshaft. it broke some of the plastic around the foglight hole, and the corners of the fender well part bent outward. (solved one problem by creating 4 issed: ) so i might be looking for a new front bumper, PM me if you have one. however, i also slved the rubbing problem in the rear by loosening the suspension screws just a tad. it works fine now, but the front bumper doesnt look the greatest anymore.

AWESOME Bumblebee. The two tone looks amazing, and surprisingly I like the underglow. Usually I hate it.

My only complaint is that the rear wheels stick out a little too far.

now all you need that would finish off the little details part of it would be some black aluminum lug nuts then just take a sharpie and color the end of the spindle black so there is no silver spot in the middle of the wheel, just a thought, but it looks sweet, like a underglow quite a bit
