Suggestions? my new ss!

I'm thinking Tints, Black Covered Headlights, Black Inserts for Camaro engrave, black sideview mirrors, and dropping the suspension..

Any suggestions for this bad boy?

Black berger panel, silver Camaro inserts. Some Brent Franker vinyls. A black Manta scoop (the new one)

i'm curious about how the manta would look in addition to what i have. it might excentuate (sp?) the hood VERY nicely. good suggestion.

as for the berger panel... if brent has vinyl that matches the pewter... sincere possibility

might that be too much though?

thanks, good suggestions for sure.

No, it wouldn't.. thats pretty much (except for the manta) what everyone usually does. I understand your worry though. I'm going with Hugger orange accents and I'm terrified its gonna be too much.

Get rid of the wheels! (Some people will argue that they look good, but I think they are hideous!)

honestly.. with every beemer in the nation equipped with stock halo's and around my parts here in northeast jersey every CIVIC HATCH having halos... it's undesireable.

The thing is.. you don't get Halos for that ring. You don't SEE the ring lit up unless you try to (IE in a parking garage, in a parking lot, etc, where your showing it off) thanks to the auto-on lights. The regular lights overpower it to the point of not being able to see it, ontop of it not being bright enough to see during the day.. The perks of Halos are a different looking headlamp, clearer, black (or chrome.. but I'd go with black in your case) and availibility of HID kits.

On a side note, I would of NEVER guessed you lived in Jersey from those pictures. I was about to say Mid West. Its amazing how NJ can go from beach to millionaires to woods to upper class to farmland. I think I passed a pig farm once, too.
