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 (http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.html). 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. (http://www.duplicolor.com/projects/howto_wheel.html)

It has an Eibach Pro-Kit (http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe/00105.1.560824304900023559) 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. :yuck:

The tires are 245/40/ZR18 Kumho Ecsta MX's (http://www.kumhotireusa.com/Products/PtnDetails.asp?mainCatID=1&PtnID=KU-15&refAction=PtnDetail). They hook very good and I will buy another set the next time (if they last decent).

All vinyl products are from Brent Franker. (http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm) (Wheel centers, nose badge, front bowtie, and others yet to be put on).

Not shown in pictures yet - Smoothlocks. (http://www.phantomss.com/smoothlock/) (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! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks VERY sharp man ! :cool::metal:

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

Sweet! I'm kinda partial to the black car with blackish wheels too :D

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!

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!

looks awesome!

that looks really really good, man. NICE job on the wheels... I have been thinking of changing my wheel color also. that graphite color suits the car very well.

Thanks for the info.

Lucky Dog!!!! Have a margarita and cheeseburger for me man!!!:D :cool:

looks great:thumb:

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:think::confused::irk:

I coulda swore I saw you car before today But I guess not? :confused:

Anyway Nice man! :bow: I like the wheels :)

Sweet car!

looking sharp :)

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. :cool:

And BTW - the Buffett concert was abosultely awesome...in case you were wondering. :D

Mmmm, I like :cool:

The first thing I noticed were the wheels. I like. :cool: The rest of the car looks great too. :thumb:
