Just got the Camaro out of the paint shop, was done at Pro Edge Auto and Paint in the Willowbrook area. Got body work done, all new paint, and the center stripe. I'm very happy with out it turned out!

Sunoco Hood, ebay ss spoiler, emblem pros inserts, C5 DDs 17/18 with Toyo 275s/315s, lightly smoked factory corners, and 93-96 tails.

Let me know what you think. :thumb:

Very nice and tasteful, I dig the retro look. Polish up or replace the cloudy headlights, lower it an inch.

Looks great! Definitely agree with Tony about the headlights, but that's an easy fix.

How do you like the eBay spoiler?

I appreciate it fellas. The headlights definitely need attention, that is next on the list for sure.

The ebay spoiler needed a little work, it wasn't great as is. The corners were pretty rounded and it sat up a little high. He built up and sharpened the corners and got it to sit pretty good now.

FYI, if you just want the headlights to look goof for pics/etc. You can use tire foam on a cloth. Wipe the headlight down and the oils make the lights clear for about a week. I used to do it on mine, before I got new lights, every time it was washed.

Car looks good!

Meguiars has a new headlight kit out. I've not used it or heard anything about it, but I saw it at Advanced last week when I was getting new wax and stuff.

I might just have to try that out, I kind of want to sand down the little nubs too. I have seen that before and it looked good. Luckily I have a busted headlight to practice on.

IMHO it isn't worth the effort to try and refurb the stock lenses, just replace 'em. The car looks really nice, good choices!

Very, very nice.
If you could lower it a bit more, it would be killer. Still, very awesome though. ENJOY!

I agree with Brains - replace the headlights. With the money you've spent on the other cosmetics, don't polish those stockers up constantly. I ended up buying something similar to these:

JDM Black Halo Headlights (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02-CHEVY-CAMARO-HEADLIGHTS-JDM-BLACK-HALO-99-00-01-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aChevroletQ7cModelQ3 aCamaroQQhashZitem1c1ae6fd43QQitemZ120710430019QQp tZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

A direct factory replacement was critical to me, as I didn't want to wire up a different type of headlight assembly. These did the job pretty well. If you're really curious, I might be persuaded to take pics of them on my car. :)
