Need all of your advice.

Thank You for coming this far

I have had this car for a year and in MAY will be bringing it Prom, the advice i need is this.

We have a sorta of Drive up and drop off ,

Like you drive the car up to the front of the school, you and your date get out of it and go in, your parents take the car and park it (i knowsounds corney) ...........now over the years people have started BORROWING peoples cars.

So everyday of school i drive a pretty mean car, its one of the 3 best in the parking lot BUT on this night it will be probably the only camaro, however many firebirds and vettes will be showing up (of course the kids will be borring them)

I want my car to stand out, it doenst have to be the best, but I'd like people to have me in the higher "wow" catagory.

It's completely stock.......here are some pics.

What would you recommened? Special SS emblems? Camaro Grill Inserts?

I was thinking the "Ram Air" decal, but it's like 30 buks where i look and i cant belive it would cost that much for a sticker...

Anybody got any amazingly low priced place to get stuff like this?

Thanx for any help
Jeff

Thank you for your advice,

What are the genral costs for lowering?

and do you have the inserts?

the only place i have seen it was

http://www.mbaproducts.com/

and it was 59 for the back

51 for front

and

53 for a hood insert, am I crazy thinking that is too much for such a small thing?


Thanx Agian

Lowering it would cost around 300-400 bucks installed with springs only. rear inserts I would say stainless steel I would get from here http://www.ssinserts.com/camaro.htm

Can you give a ballpark figure on what your budget for this project is?

If you have cash....
ZO6 Chrome rims would look fat on that car.
As said above, maybe the grill
Vinyl Overlays... yellow, silver, red
Paint your calipers to match the vinyl
Cutout
A real good wash, clay, and Zanio or wax the day of!


All of the above will make that car stand out even more then it does!

Great ride and please take care of it!

Later,

Mike

Honestly, I think your car already exudes bad@$$ness. If I were going to make suggestions though the only thing I would do is get the chrome style lettering for the word CAMARO on the back of the car. The black and chrome lettering would look good IMO. As far as the cut-out, I would definately get one. Like the other guys said you can grab one for $30 for a 3" and it would cost about 20-30 to weld. I have one for my z28 and I like it a lot!
