...a few more...close-ups of the rims and billet grille.




i think that those rims really set the car and play along with the stripes. i think it all flows nicely especially when i have the taillight and headlight blackouts on too. some tips and blacking out a few lights will help it flow a little better too. and i'm gonna change that "V6" emblem next week (i know it looks hideous). so what you guys think? i know its still a little wet and the windows ain't really clean in the pics but i fixed all that after i took them. more mods i'm thinkin blackout side markers and third brake light, turn signal covers, exhaust tips, CAI, hi flow cat, SS spoiler, and maybe a body kit (not sure though). i may paint some interior pieces too...not sure yet though. and i'm painting the calipers and drum brakes this weekend. so what yall think about it and what should i try and do next?

I'd say either lower it a little, or put a body kit on it. That might make it a little more sleek [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Nice car, very clean, x2 on the lowering though, just a little, not a huge drop.

very nice.love those wheels, go real good with the rest of the car. how wide are your stripes BTW?

[Heartbeat_of_94]

thanks for the comments. i knew i forget somethin on that mods list...so what kind of springs and shocks do yall recommend for a good drop? not a drastic one...but one that gives it a more "aggressive" stance and fills out those wheel wells.

I like how the stripes match the wheels

[Greg94Red392]

I love those wheels. I think they would would really set my car off (red).

What kind are they?

[teal99camaro]

The V6 emblem isnt bad, i kind of like it.. Car looks great but if youre going for the muscle car look (classic) i wouldnt get a body kit.

[Heartbeat_of_94]

thanks for the comments guys.

they are bullit wheels from customwheelsmarket.com. they aren't on the site i don't think. isaw them on ebay and b4 i could get them they sold and they never put anymore up for sale. i just sent them an email requesting them and told them the make, model, and year of my car and they found a set and sold me those. i'm sure they have more just send an email and ask for them.

i know the emblem isn't that bad but i'm changing it out with another V6 emblem that i made that is kinda like the 3800 or Z28 badges. its that style and has a bowtie on the left side of it and all and its a little smaller and better rounded. i think it'll make it look better. and i've made a new front emblem too for the front bumper and hopefull that will even the car out a little more.

and i agree about the body kit...i'm tryin to go "classic" so i'm not gonna get one i'm just going to lower it a little to give it a better stance and fill out the wheel wells then maybe get a new spoiler (93-97 SS probably) and possibly a new hood (SS or the '93-'97 2-inch Cowl induction hood from vfnfiberglass.com).

and btw...any suggestions on springs and shocks? also...any exhaust tip suggestions? i gotta figure out those three cause thats probably next along with a SLP CAI or high flow cat.

I really like the color of your stripes. I wanted to get mine in the same color as yours but on the site they had it listed as charcoal and i had picked it and well it was darker than i wanted but now I like it. if you got a darker set of stripes they would go better with the wheels but it still looks great.

[loser]

where did you get your stripes? what size are they? ( wide)

i know that in the pics the stripes and teh wheels look like two totally different shades but in real life they are almost exactly the same color. the light plays tricks on your eyes when it hits those stripes because they are metallic. they even seem to disappear on the car in the right light. but they really match a lot better in real life and the pics don't do the pair justice.

i had them custom cut and made at DEsigner's Graphics in Sheffield, Alabama. i do a lot of freelance there so i get a lot of discounts and stuff. they cut them for me and then the guy trimmed them up for me. i'm gonna make an etching of them soon so i can transfer them to my computer so i can cut more of them to sell maybe. i'm actually looking into getting a vinyl cutter plotter so i can do some freelance custom vinyl decals and stuff like that to sell. still working on that though...the plotter is freakin expensive! but the website for the shop is designersgraphics.com if you wanna know. i'll go out and measure them tomorrow and let you know the size. i know that the black pin stripe is 1/8 inch but thats all i know. i'll get that and post it for you soon though.

[My_Teal_V6]

Heartbeat...where di you get the V6 emblems? been looking for some but no luck. BTW nice car.

[Heartbeat_of_94]

i made them myself. i work for a place that has vinyl cutter plotters so i just use theirs to cut out my own custom graphics. actually tryin to get my own vintl cutter so i can start cutting custom graphics myself and kinda do some freelance and sell some if i can...kinda like brent franker does.
