i don't like em...they just kinda....start n' stop outta nowhere. Nice move with the Vette Wheels-get that sucker lowered that car is a star! [i hate our 4x4 f-bods....]

I still haven't decided what to do to lower it. My last Camaro had the eibach springs and that was too low for me so I'm trying to decide what to do with this one.

Don't like 'em. They break that smoothness of the all black car. Kinda just sitting there like they don't belong. Rims are sharp though!

nevermind zl1 is also known as the manta stripe I believe and I looked into but I won't do it in vinyl and don't want to paint the car right now.

i actually LIKE it... i dont know if i would have gone red... prolly silver, but you have the red ss and calipers so it looks like thats the way you are leaning sooooo... thumbs up from me.

Thank you everyone! I would've like to do silver but everything else was already red and didn't feel like changing everything at the moment. That and one of my friends here locally has a silver/black mustang I damn sure didn't want to be accused of copying him!!!!!

it's your car and personally i think you made the right choice in color. the red keeps the flow of red on the car. i have the same stripes but in black on my pewter SS. looks good.

I have those on my car, but mine are silver. I didn't think red would stand out as much, but it looks awesome!!!

Nah, just an overcast day, hood looks just the same as the rest of the car! Thanks everyone!

It definetly makes the car stand out and breaks it up. It took a little while for it to grow on me but I like it and the wheels are awesome. :eek2:

dude im diggin the vette wheels. what size are they? are they a direct bolt on replacement for the stocker SS wheels? or do they need spacers?

'99 SLP#24
09-27-2005, 06:16 AM
Yes they bolted right on without any spacers but they are not factory corvette rims. They are reproduction rims with offset and size to fit a camaro. They are 18*8.5 in front and 18*10.5 out back.

09-27-2005, 11:28 AM
I got them off of ebay, the tires are 255/40/18 and 285/35/18, I really need a wider tire on the back but they didn't have any in the brand I bought so I will have to keep looker for when I have to replace them. Total cost was around $1700.00

i personally wouldn't have put the stripes on, but it doesn't look bad. if you're gonna lower it, eibach has springs that only lower it a little over an inch. thats what i put on mine. to me it made a huge visual difference without making going into driveways and going over speed bumps a bitch

'99 SLP#24
10-05-2005, 12:55 PM
I love the stripes I just wanted something different!! As for the loweing eibachs kits go lower than an inch it's more like 1.5" I've had them before on a different car. I'm going with adjustable Koni's and bilstein HD's with teh perch removed on the rear

SSNAKEATER23
10-05-2005, 02:23 PM
Your Car Would Look Tits If You Lowered It, Espically W Those Rims. I Have Eibachs 1.5 All Around. It's Decent. I Don't Like Black Cars, But Your Is Real Sweet Lookin.
