Default just a little exterior modding

so i started thinking... hmm what would my car look like with a black berger panel so i decided to find out i taped some black construction paper to at and stood back and said... NICE lol also started thinking about blacked out tail lights so i picked up a set from the jyard just in case i didnt like them

this is what i came up with...
BTW this is spray paint im pretty good with a can

after i painted it black and sanded it down smooth

well after realizing that i cant find the other set of stickers for the CAMARO i decided ill just paint them (the orange is so i can see the word better to cut out)

after some more clear and some good wet sanding i got this beauty

and the final product

all in all it cost me 18$ for the paint and 12$ for the blackout but i barely used the black out and charged my boss 20$ to do his so 10 bucks not bad

It looks good. I've never seen a black Berger panel on a green Camaro. It looks stealthy.

Basic, have you ever considered getting new rims? I'm not dissing the rims you currently have but i think that there are other corvette or aftermarket rims that would increase the appearance plenty. I know I don't have nice wheels but mine are just stock.

That aside, I do like what you have done. The taillights look awesome!!

ya i deff want some Z06 rims these came with the car and are much better than the salad shooter but not what i would buy

and thanx i like it alot especially the lights now i want to compleatly get rid of the markers on the rear bumper (fill the hole with bondo) and the lock cylinders on the doors and trunk and bondo the spoiler in so it looks like 1 piece ohh and the intakes on the hood i got plans just need money
