True. I think this is an illusion created by the shot, his car is actually taller than mine and just as long when you set them side by side

I just like the subtle look of it a little better than the 98+

I try to go for a simple, yet clean look with my car, and I try to pay attention to details cause to me thats what makes a car really stand out

I like it when people look at my car and know its not stock (appearance wise)....yet have a hard time pointing out whats not stock about it. The 96-97 ss spoiler accomplishes this nicely

I like your philosophy and agree with it--the headlight buckets and grill being flat black DOES balance the black Berger panel well.

Although the 98+ SS spoiler is really nice, the rarity and "period correctness" of the '96-'97 SS spoiler really looks nicer to my eyes on an LT1 car. Good choices.

In all honesty though, I'm not a huge fan of the old emblem on the rear, it goes against "time"... Sort of like how seeing Z06 style emblems on a 3rd gen bothers me. It doesn't look bad, just doesn't seem correct, and feels wrong. Have you ever thought of putting anything else there? Or leaving it blank? Just a possible suggestion.

Trust me, I racked my brain over what emblem to put back there I even tried leaving it blank at first. I looked waaaaay to plain and unfinished with nothing at all back there...I was afraid with it being flat black that people would just think that I was too lazy to get it painted or something. So I decided that it had to have some sort of emblem on it. I considered putting the factory bowtie+z28 back in the stock location, but it didn't look right to me without the "camaro" letters. And I didn't want to badge it as something that it's not (i.e. "zo6 emblems" or similar) I knew that I wanted it to say "z28" back there (because that's what it is, duh) I considered the 70 1/2 emblems, and even the stock "z28" fender emblems in the center, but in the end I felt that the vintage 1969 z/28 is what I liked the best. I know not everyone will agree with my choice and thats ok, but I like it and thats what mattered most to be to be perfectly honest

You're looking at the "motorsport" zo6 wheels. Those are the ones with the rivets. I didn't care for those. Call them up and tell them you're wanting the "non motorsport" Zo6 wheels, they'll know what you're talking about

I absolutely love how subtle your car is. Wouldn't change a thing. Did you build the motor yourself? Would love to hear more details on it.

Thanks Yes sir, I built the motor myself. Here's all the details, click on this link, then scroll down to the pic of my car and click on it. If you have any additional questions about the car, feel free to ask

And thanks all for your compliments, I'm glad that it appeals to more people than just me living in a town thats over-run by mustang guys, my car gets overlooked alot so this means alot to me
