For the first time ever - Pics of my Camaro.
Well, it's no where near finished - but I thought it would be nice to share - plus I have only posted pictures here and there, never a gallery.
We got a new digital camera, so I was just playing around with it, still learning it. Some of the pics are blurred, but like I said - I was just playing.
Not dialup friendly!
So, without further ado:

And if you want to see more detail shots on the wheels
(If you visit the Wheels & Tires section you could have caught these yesterday):
http://blackbowtie.web1000.com/images/077tease/
The wheels I painted myself with Dupli-Color Graphite Wheel Paint. They were polished Eagle 077's - but I'm not a blinging type guy with this car. Bling is for other rides. A brief how-to is located here.
It has an Eibach Pro-Kit to hide wheel gap - people who think lowering isn't necesarry take note - those tires are the same circumference as stock - so imagine what your car would look like any different.
The tires are 245/40/ZR18 Kumho Ecsta MX's. They hook very good and I will buy another set the next time (if they last decent).
All vinyl products are from Brent Franker. (Wheel centers, nose badge, front bowtie, and others yet to be put on).
Not shown in pictures yet - Smoothlocks. (Soon coming Jason...)
I have a lot of other plans - but I also have a wife to keep content. What you don't see in those pictures is my house and 2+ acres I just bought and have to maintain - so my car is just on an as I can basis.
Hope you like the pics - if not - I don't really care.
And if you want a background size image of any of those - let me know!

The wheels look great!I have the same ones,getting tired of trying to keep them polished all the time.
How many can of the paint did t take to do all 4 wheels?
Had to put new wheels on hold for awhile do to my nephew wrecking my car.This could be the thing I am looking for to change the looks a little bit for the time being.

Thanks for the props everyone!
You know - tired figuring out something - because I didn't really like the way they "bubbled" out but just didn't see an easy solution. So I just sanded the Eagle logo off, painted them, and got Brent to hook me up.
I think I used 2.5 cans of paint and 2.5 cans of clear - but I am not quite sure. 3 cans is plenty though I believe. Just be sure you really scuff those bad daddy's up good before painting. 
They also have silver, black, white, and bronze wheel paint.
I will check back in tomorrow - me and the wife are heading down to Atlanta for a Jimmy Buffett concert! FINS UP!

The only thing I would change is the 077 center caps.

looks great
the only thing Im going to criticize is the offset of the wheels/tires... they appear a little too "tucked in" for my taste, but if I had to take a guess, they have to be that way with that drop kit, correct?
then again... maybe im seeing things

They are almost perfectly flush with the top lip of the fender on all four corners - and the rears stick out from the body where it curves in (but they are flush up until then - it looks great.) I'll get some pics soon for you.
Thanks for the compliments everyone.
And BTW - the Buffett concert was abosultely awesome...in case you were wondering.
