Pics of the Xpipe, Clear 3rd brake light, billet pedals, shiny stuff for the engine..

I've added a few appearance mods here and there, like my homemade antenna, the Berger panel, Brent's overlays with some polished metal things over them..etc etc. Let me know what you think.

WWW.Camaropics.50megs.com

The SS hood is on the way, By the end of August I will have all of my suspension components bought and then I am going to start saving up so before the year is over I can get the complete "Tony Mamo" AFR set up, installed.
Between now and then I'll get my calipers polished, an LS7 clutch with LS2 flywheel and a couple of other things

Very nice, everything flows nicely. Where did you get the battery cover?

Thanks again guys for the comments

2000GTP---The battery cover is from ebay. Just type Camaro battery cover and it should come up. I think it was like $20 shipped. But it only works on a stock battery or it could work on other batteries but you have to cut the strap to carry it, that aftermarket batteries come with.

Jamilz28-- To make a long story short, use a dremmel to cut out most of the red part of the stock light, get 1/8" thick clear acrylic, cut to match the opening, spray paint the inside of the light a reflective color like white or in my case, chrome. Place acrylic piece which should have been measure with the piece you cut out, over the opening using a pasty mold like bondo or something to fill in the gaps and hold it in place. Sand down, place clear epoxy over that as to not let any water and moisture in, get a 3rd brake light overlay of choice, two 194 5-LED's oval bulbs and thats it. From this point on you can put whatever color bulbs you want since its easy to change them out now. Mine are currently red. Oh and this was the short version there may have been a thing or two left out.

I have the Optima battery which has both the side terminals, but also terminal posts on top of the battery. Will that cause a conflict with that cover?

yepp, the battery needs to be flat on top since it uses a couple of pieces of velcro to hold it in place. It covers the entire surface, so if you have stuff poking out from the top like terminals it will not fit, unless you cut it to make grooves/openings for the terminals, but I think that would look kinda ghey. Since the point is to "hide" the battery. Sorry

Yeah, I just went on Ebay and found out for myself. Oh well, I'll figure something out.

hmmm....maybe you could...cut the top 2 terminals off if you don't use them and grind down the little metal stub that's left in order to make it flat. Since the velcro causes it to be a bit raised , you would not have to shave the terminal down all the way, just until its almost flushed with the surface.
