Size:  174.7 KB I've gotten many compliments on both my Camaro's. My 16 ss with Magnuson 2650 and my new 2022 Lt1. Both lowered on Phastek springs but lots of hp difference for sure

Nice custom fender logo!

I have those same wheels on my '21 RS, and they have gotten some direct compliments, but I wasn't thrilled about the black center caps - they looked too "plasticky" to me. I swapped them out for these brushed-finish ones like I had on my '16 RS. I even got a "nice wheels" shout-out when I was taking this picture at a gas station.

Everywhere i went... look at that , everyone wanted to talk, and it was all the wrong attention. people being nosey about what you do to afford that and hey wanna invest in this or that. With the ZL1 no one expects it to be a 70k car and thinks it just another trailer part American v8 and no one bothers to look. Ill blend right in around here. If I need the attention Ill just take the 21 Supra out for a spin that ting also gets the heads turning. They can give it all the bad comments they want Ill just wave at them in my rear view mirror LOL
I agree a 6th gen ZL1 will get less attention than a C8, but my '21 ZL1 gets its fair share of compliments, questions, comments, head turns, pics, etc. out in the wild and at car meets.

Crush orange 21 1LE gets compliments from Mustang and Dodge owners all the time. I hang out with about every American car made most of the time.

C8 looks like a European Doorstop (way too Ferrari/Lambo for me)... ZL1 looks like a bad, bad bitch! LOVE American Muscle!!! WAAAAYYY better than a Euro-Weenie car!

I can see the ZLE getting a lot of attention as it has all the looks of a track monster, but my ZL1 while it's had a few compliments here and there. I don't think anyone suspects what's lurking under the hood, and I have no problem with that as I'd like to fly under the radar, even as a Camaro. Part of me would love to debadge the ZL1 and maybe put 1LT badges in its place. I'd love for owners of Mustang GTs and GT350s to wonder if something is wrong with their car after getting beat by a 4-cylinder camaro Exhaust and the SC might give it away though. I guess I can tell them that I got the sound by punching a bunch of holes into the muffler with a screwdriver...(Borrowed that line from a guy over on the GTO forums )

LOL! Love it! Just stick with the ZL1 badges and OWN it!

Nice look with the brushed-finish center caps!

Do you happened to have the GM part number for the brushed-finish center caps?
Do you plastic deep the lug nuts in black?

Thanks in advance.

I got a lightly-used set of center caps off eBay because the dealer price seemed kinda high to me. The auction listing is expired, but the title includes the number 9595010, which is the number on the back of these. I think that is just an inscription on the plastic backplate though rather than a part number, because a web search for that brings up all kinds of center caps.

As for the lug nuts, those are not dipped, they are the McGard black chrome lug nuts, part number 64034. McGard also has a black chrome set with a slightly shorter lug nut that fits this application. The one odd-looking nut in the picture, to the right of the center cap, is a GM locking lug with an aftermarket nylon cap on it to cover the lock.

Thank you for taking the time to locate the information.
Got a new set of center caps from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and cut out the Chevy bowtie from a piece of 3M black vinyl but I find them precut on EBay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/224102514411

No sure which way I will go if with the black bowtie or plain. I like it without the black bowtie.
Have you seen this wheels with CAMARO letters painted or vinyl tape on it?

Looks good! I think I saw someone who had painted in the Camaro lettering at the edge of the rim, but can't recall if it was in the forums or just something that popped up in a web search...

Had a guy in a Tesla today roll down his window and say "Beautiful car and great sounding as well!" Got a couple other thumbs up from another Camaro and a Mustang as well...

lol, honest question here when the Tesla guy rolled down his window were you thinking he was going to ask you if you wanted to play?


I actually took the Camaro for an errand and to stretch her legs (I can't wash it till the front film cures) and parked in a 30 minute parking spot in front of the shop I was visiting. Exiting the store, seeing some of the stares the car was getting as it sat parked made me feel a little embarrassed. I saw 2 people walk past it with their head just locked in as they walked past.

Oh and I did see a white Camaro on my drive home and gave him the obligatory rev/drive-by. Based on the front end, it looked like it was maybe a Z/28.
