Nice progress. So, when you gonna come hang with some Nor Cal folks?

Oh, and that dash looks nice. Reminds me a little of mine. Oh, and what's up with those tail lights? That'd look cool with the Marquez lenses.

Gorgeous Car. That's exactly what I want. High rise spoiler, nice cowl hood, and the front chin spoiler. Not to mention the color goes well with it.

Looks good, Did you do the 2 left backing plate trick for the rear brakes or did you move the shocks?
WhiteG240
02-05-2007, 07:38 AM
Whats your suspension setup? What size rims and tires? What's the backspace on your rims? Any rubbing issues?

Car looks great!

Great looking Camaro. You have that thing sitting perfect. Great stance! I was going to ask after looking at the pics if the mufflers rubbed. They do look a little low. How did you raise the car or have you yet?

i havnt raised it yet. the front has qa1 coilovers and the back i think the only way to make a diff shackle to lift it a 1/4-1/2 inch.
