either way it looks good man. Great job. What did you use for the letters in the tires? I think its time to steal your idea
It's a oil paint pen, got it from eBay 2 years ago... I was always in love with white letter tires and I saw a member with white letter on his camaro and I was sold!

Yeah, she is not a daily driver any more but I still like to go on cruises with the club, with hubby or just on my own. Even some entrance/exits into various parking lots in my area are notorious for cars scraping that have much more clearance they we do as is.

Still.............................I'm thinking about it.

Your car looks great Kevin!

Sounds like a plan...thats what i would do too...


As far as lowering, just being aware of the speed bumps and the angles you go in and out...you will be okay. (Although it's not a camaro) Driving a zo6 feels like its slammed compared to our cars and is good practice for when you go to lower your camaro or etc.

Trust me, it'll happen sooner rather than later. As soon as you hear it scrape you'll notice you'll start to scan whatever road you're on to see what could be a "scraping danger"

You're probably going to have to throw 600-700 dollars at it

State farm said they would get me back to pre accident condition. They need to replace my front gfx splitter, street scenelower grille, and Zl1 grille. The zl1 bumper cover takes care of the splitter the lower grille and the upper zl1 grille it makes a lot of sense. I would be happy with the zl1 lower grille over the street scene. I could easily convince the woman I have a zl1 front bumper since I already have the zl1 upper grille, custom lower grille and gfx splitter. It doesn't look stock by any means I doubt they would realize or even know the difference between them.

Either I am crazy, need to get my eyes checked or after my alignment this morning the rear seems to have gone up a little and the gap isn't as low as it was. But again I am prob going crazy

More than likely, your car will drop slightly, as the car settles.
