    Default Washed, buffed/waxed... did a little photoshoot with the Z

    Now that there is FINALLY some sunlight after work... I got a chance to buff the crap outta this thing... decided to take a few pictures.

    and YES I KNOW THE LS1 decal looks like ass... but it is cleared over and isn't exactly an easy fix... and i'm way too picky about color match to just have that area painted and blended.. its not HORRIBLE looking... i'm kinda dealin with it.


    anyways.. here are the pics:

    Looking good, but WHY THE HELL did you clear over those decals?! Cant you find a Camaro related badge to cover that area? Hell the stock Z28 badges would cover some of it.

    Why expect something more harsh? Your car looks nice. I'm only laughing at the word "photoshoot" being used here. Later, QD.[/QUOTE]

    Nah, lolol. Photoshoot is just used so loosely by anyone with a camera, a car and a warehouse loading dock as a background.

    Like I said, car looks nice. Not a fan of it, but the T-tops make it straight for me. I'd drive it. Later, QD.

    Good lookin camaro, sir. Not a fan of that color, but then again I only like black or silver cars lol. Super clean though!

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Really clean car. I have a random question though. I was at West Central in Carrollton today seeing my g/f and I think I saw your car. Am I right or is it another one that looks just like it?

    Car looks great. I don't really care for the headlights or the black mirrors though. I also think some chrome thrust wheels would fit a little better.

    Whats done to it?

    took me a few hours... i washed and clayed it during my lunch hour... then did a 3 step compound/swirl/glaze buff.. then hand waxed it.. then washed again after work... i'd say all together it was 3-4 hours. Next project is the inside

    Only reason I got the headlights was for the black housing. I NEVER turn the halo's on.. in fact the wires aren't even hooked up for it. As far as the wheels... I'm not a fan of chrome.. i'm actually considering painting the center section glossy black

    some of my mods:
    granatelli air lid, bbk 80mm throttle body, Weind alum. intake manifold, mac midlength headers y pipe and high flow cat, borla tunable catback, comp cams roller rockers/pushrods/springs, NOS dry kit w/ 15lb bottle and all the goodies to go along with it, moser 12 bolt with 373 gears, rk sport lowering springs, adjustable panhard bar, tubular torque arms/trailing arms, weld-in subframe connectors, ultra z hood and spoiler... plus some more little detail things



    thanks for all the comments! keep em comin
