I think it’s DONE. My Camaro Fifty.

SSFIFTY · 10-21-2017, 08:23 PM

In my humble opinion, I think I got it right and the way they could send them from the factory. The RPI side skirts accentuate the angles of the car. The ugly red and orange reflectors are gone from the side of the car, replaced with ghosted Oracle side markers. Black carbon fiber bow ties. Lowered with Eibach Pro-Kit springs, and wheels pushed out of the fenders slightly with some Eibach spacer\adaptors. Some “in your face” tire lettering and 479 coats of buffed wax! That’s what a Fifty should look like...

I think the crane mod is a nice touch. Where you get that?

Fifty SS · 10-22-2017, 08:02 AM

Looks great; like the side skirts!

Well done. Only one problem...there needs to be more pictures.

+1, how badly did it upset weight distribution.

i think the wheel spacers are a huge touch. i went with 25mm on the rear with the same springs and it changes the stance dramatically.

solarstingray · 10-23-2017, 12:58 PM

what spacers did you use, and did you have to cut the nubs ? thanks

Soleil · 10-23-2017, 03:29 PM

Looking awesome

what did you use for the tire letters? More pics. How does the RPI fit? What kind of spacer you used? Front/rear

Yes, trimmed the studs about 1/2”.

Great service from Tredwear. Received quickly as ordered.

Eibach 20mm spacer\adaptor. Then no need to replace the studs which is a hassle on the rear.

The crane was not placed strategically for perspective because I’m not a professional photographer. It was pure luck.

If I had another chance at it, I’d get the whole crane in instead of cropping it, my bad.

From what I read on Netscape, great photography is all about the lighting. When I walked away from the car to get my bottle of champagne out of my Bugatti Veyron, I noticed that the light was shining perfectly off of the new RPI skirts.

I found that moving one foot left or right caused a loss of lighting that killed the shot. I thought about photoshopping it, but after having the oil changed on the BV, I couldn’t afford the photo, or the shopping.

So I tried retouching it using Apple Photo, but then I figured I’d just get someone pointing out the blurry lines above the car and there would be even more responses that talked about anything but Camaros.

I’ve decided to go to the public library and check out every book that Ansel Adams wrote instruction in so that I would be a capable photographer for Camaro6 in the future.

Until then, I’m livin’ the dream...
