I got her a few weeks ago and so far I have...

Gotten a FULL Tune-Up
Replaced the Shocks/Struts
Fixed the Sound System (Was jacked up beyond beleif before)
Installed a Flowmaster Exhaust
Installed a K&N Air Filter
(One day I'll get to step up to the Turbo)
Installed a B&M Shift Kit
Other minor things

It's still a work in progress, need to get it repainted first and foremost. (Chipping paint all around the car.)

I don't think i've ever seen Z28 ground effects on a SS before.
Looks nice man.

"nice looking car...dont much care for the color though"

I am getting it repainted... I was either thinking of a lighter silver or black. I have yet to decide.

I like silver...easy to keep clean...but black is black....and makes a camaro look mean

Did you buy it with the ground fx already on there. I dont think that was an option for the SS, but I could be wrong. Nice car though. Is the car silver or pewter?

Pewter, and the guy before me put the Z28 ground effects on it. It seems to be fairly rare to find an SS with the Z28 ground effects too, I think it gives it and excellent look (I get comments on a daily basis, my favorite being "Dude, I want to have sex with your car.")

Looks good man, Which B&M Kit did you go with and do you like it? I want to put on in my ws6.

I'm not sure what transmission a WS6 has but mine was...
130-70360 Shift Kit, 4L60E, 1993-01

It's cheap and shaves a good amount of time off your acceleration. I get chirps on 2nd gear and doesnt lag behind at all when shifting.

The only downside, doesn't provide too smooth of ride when moving from 1st to 2nd gear.... kinda jerks you forward. It's nothing toooo major but could get annoying. I personally dont mind.

sweet thanks i was looking at the next one up from that (transpak) so i think im going to buy it

definitely not feeling the body kit .. its bulky looking.. takes away from the car makes it look like a rs .. I think if youre gonna add ground effects you need to add bigger rims to compensate for the change in the body it makes it look like a fat kid with little tiny feet.. but hey thats just me

Heheh, I havn't updated this lately. I recently bought some 18" z06 wheels and it is getting painted black... I'll post new pics after she's out of the shop.

I'm not much for the ground effects either. The grill could be replaced with an SS one too. Personally I'd repaint it what it is supposed to be. That color can work. Welcome to the vert club!

To each his own...

She is coming out of the shop Friday, nice and shiny, jet black, and some new 18" z-06 wheels.

I'm going to tint the windows as dark as [legally] possible as soon as it's out and post new pictures.

GOD I love my Camaro.
