Ideas for the Z

[BigMac76]

Ok guys, doing a few things to the z here and wanted some second opinions.

First I grabbed some front y3f pieces off of tech and am in the process of getting them prepped and painted to go onto the car. Image below has been photoshopped, poorly, but enough to get the effect/concept.

Wanted to go with either clear sidemarkers and front signals, or the blackouts. Thinking of going with the blackouts to give some contrast. Then that also gave me the idea of goin with a manta stripe on the hood. What do you guys think would look good with all that in mind?

What's your budget look like?

[LSX-Nation]

you could black out the lenses and do a black manta stripe. Not too sure how good that would look though hard to imagine it. Your the only one i know that has a white camaro haha.

Seen a few cars on tech with the blackout depo lenses and looked great with the white. Was thinking of doing the whistler mod on the headlights and or the fill in or manta ray to add more contrast.

And budgetwise, car is going to be resprayed this year to get all "non-conforming" sections to match up. That and whoever shot the hood did a piss poor job because the clear is peeling. Putting new tires on it, getting new carpet and a few other misc things done.

Just an overhead of one of the cars I seen on tech:


Not absolutely crazy about the rear decals, thinking just the hood decal.

You should get some decent rims. Salad shooters really dont work on these cars

Got the stock chrome n98's for it. Just have the shooters with some winter tires on it right now. Was thinking of going with some z06 or zr1s for it in the future. With all the other stuff I want to get done this year, looks like rims will probably be next year. And call me crazy but I kinda like the stock rims on it.

This is the car as I bought it last year before adding the lt1 tails, Brent Franker vinyl fill ins, etc.

Do the manta!! Will off set the white awesome!! I just wouldn't do the hatch stripe not a huge fan.

[BigMac76]

Yeah, not crazy about the rear stripe on the hatch. Not sure if I want to do it in vinyl first just to try it on for size or just go balls out and do it in paint. Still looking for sites that carry it in vinyl as a solid piece and not with the pinstripe around the outer edge of it.

Manta stripe would definitely look good. I think you couldn't go wrong with either clear or blacked out corners. Honestly I would do wheels before anything else but if you're happy with the ones you have it's your car.

[BigMac76]

I kinda like the stockers, but would love to have another set. If I wasn't shelling out $15k for this wedding believe me man, the car would have a lot more done to it than just the decal and corners lol.
