custom TD's? nice pics

**Y2KPewterSS** · 01-20-2008, 11:21 AM

The stance looks great and I like how you relocated the ASR and Fog light switches. What is the custom bezel made of? Car looks good

Any plans for the grille area?

sharp looking car man...i love the look of the drop. i might have to try that on mine, but i have the sport appearance package, so i wont be able to play the " how low can you go" game. but yeah...those are some very funky looking taillights too. i havent seen too many of the euro style lights. but im digging the cme. i take it you put on the cme valance and molded it to your factory bumper cover? or how did you do this?

**01SOMSS!** · 01-20-2008, 05:57 PM

looks great. I do think u should do the bezel in leather though.other than that looks awsome

**Redphoenix1998** · 01-20-2008, 11:46 PM

very clean

**Tyler_LS1** · 01-21-2008, 12:00 PM

Very nice! love the stance,

those wheels are the stock SS 10spokes, and what color? did you get them powder coated?

thanks. ya i really like the export tails. you either love em or hate em..yup, cme valance molded. the shop riveted it to the bumper about every 6" i think, then used some urethane body filler to create the line and fill it all. then primer with flex additive and paint with flex additive too

thanks. i thought about it...but changed my mind and stuck with suede just bc i will be doing other suede stuff inside too. it'll all fit together in a few months

yup, gun metal. its a little darker then the factory C5 ZO6 non chrome/polished wheels. and no, its painted. you really dont want to powdercoat aluminum, the process can eat away at the alum cause failure. i know a few people that has seen this happen on the track. powdercoat is more durable, but paint is much safer

I noticed that the CME Valence is part of the bumper. How did you do that?

It looks badass!!!!!

**BlueBomber** · 01-21-2008, 05:34 PM

Complete with a lighter and some visine...

Very nice car man. Good job

**FuhBreezeE** · 01-21-2008, 07:33 PM

took it to a body shop...they riveted it to the bumper ~ every 6", then used a urethane body filler to create the line and fill everything, then primer with flex additive and paint with uv/flex additive

i had a 96 ttop, and when i was looking forthis i wanted hard top. more rare, and just looks cleaner and is (ever so slightly) stiffer then a ttop car (quite miniscule though..)

oh, and for the grill...i've been to numerous body shops and they all refuse to fill in the holes/camaro. my friend just gave me the number to a guy who will, so if he will then it's all getting filled...if not then i'll get a wings west or rk plain carbon fiber and have a couple thin coats of silver sprayed (ala F40 where you can see the cf through the paint)

**Ryans99LS1** · 01-22-2008, 10:06 AM

Badass looking camaro. Great job!

I never heard of that before. Almost all the bikes I have ridden have powdercoated frames and I have never heard of that being a reason for breakage.
