Another Modification Down!!
 
Well, I just got my car back today, and I'm pleased to say that it turned out better than I thought it would. Without saying what it is, I'm sure most of you will see it as soon as the first picture comes up.......(it's actually very obvious) :D

My Oldman doesn't like it as much this way,..... but I happen to think it looks a little meaner. :ne_nau:

NoRiceInside 08-19-2006 01:58 AM

FamousZ 08-19-2006 02:11 AM

Is it the antenna?

blue89vert 08-19-2006 02:11 AM

blue89vert 08-19-2006 02:28 AM

yeah we already knew that but he said there was something else too

V6Cam 08-19-2006 02:31 AM

Never had a plate on front
Antenna is the same...

still looking

V6Cam 08-19-2006 02:36 AM

the only other thing i can think of is new brakes?...lol

MeenZ28 08-19-2006 02:43 AM

I prefer it with the white roof... but that is in no way going to say your car looks bad. You still have one of the meanest cars here Arch.

V6Cam 08-19-2006 02:47 AM

how long ago did you remove the SLP sticker in the back window?

did you tint the windows darker?

MeenZ28 08-19-2006 03:02 AM

Nice licence plate BTW.

camaro94 08-19-2006 03:13 AM

nice job, but I prefer color matched.

paarman97maro 08-19-2006 09:44 AM

I didnt know TTops came with a colored roof.. I thought they were all black. hm.

I personally like the color of the car on the roof too, but each to his own.

I thought the antenna was the other mod, but I guess I never looked before. Cool plate, btw.

FORCE_FED_Z 08-19-2006 12:34 PM

GM did some changes between the Z's and 6ers between the years, I forget now but some year Z's had black mirrors and tops, some had body color top with black mirror etc..

If you know the scheme its pretty easy to guess the year of a Z just by looking at the color scheme, unless its black of course.

If I recall history, Wasnt it like in 93-94? All the LT1s had black roof/mirrors. Then after that it was an option for all camaros.

aarontracy 08-19-2006 01:04 PM

ya 95 was the first year of color matched roofs and mirrors

car looks good btw. i love the white z's, makes me want to go work on mine so i can get it back on the road.

I already knew a lot of you wouldn't like it as much, (which is totally cool) I'm just going for the Meanest look I can without painting the whole car Black.

Yes the Obvious change is that I had the top painted black, and it was actually for the reason Grant said at the end of his second post. Even though he prefers the white top, he said: "You still have one of the Meanest cars here". (thanks BTW) I've aways stated that I hate white, therefore I plan on giving it as mean a look as possible. ;)

When I see completely White Camaros (any gen) driving down the road around here, 95% of them are driven by Bleached Blonde Skanks with teased hair. :D Several of you have already mentioned the second thing...........it WAS the new plate!!

I asked for suggestions about to 2 months ago, and it came down to [1WIKEDZ] or [ATTNGTR] ........the rest is history. No, I just like the look of an ALL BLACKED OUT TOP vs. Tinted w/ the White Hair band. I won't paint the mirrors though, cuz I think the white flows better from the fender into it. The next Mod will be the Black hood scoop fill-in like the 35th Anniversary SS Hoods.

Anyway, here's a few more...(plate first)....I'm just happy I finally have something to see a good reflection in. Check out how much reflection the paint has!

FORCE_FED_Z 08-20-2006 01:05 AM

Don't worry Arch, I like the black band with the white car, I wasn't a fan of the hair band..the black matches the tinted windows- I think it improved the look of the car a lot- good job!!

Thanks Joe! (you too Tom) Yeah, every time I looked at my car from the side, it reminded me of them women who wear one of those bands up on their head to keep their hair back. I just wasn't diggin the way it looked at all. Now when I see it from the side, it allows me to focus more on the body of the car.

I just think it makes the car look better without the white targa roof facing forwards. From the side, I like to imagine my car has a streamline flow going towards the rear, but it's hard to see when that panel's direction is facing forward. :ne_nau:

Now only focus on that top white band of the car. To me it now looks out of place, especially in the last picture!

FamousZ 08-20-2006 09:23 AM

After lookin at it some more I am really startin to like the black.. Iv always liked the black roofs though.. Did you think about paintin your door handle too? Never could understand why GM made the door handle and mirrors a different color.. Seems kinda odd to me..

Mike Jones 08-20-2006 09:39 AM

I think the white looks out of place as well. It's just the one strip so it doesn't look right with the tinted window's the the tinted TTops.

69z-28 08-20-2006 04:38 PM

YEA! thats how it should be. very very nice. looks sweet man. im anxious to get the tint on mine and complete that blacked out top section. so sweet Arch!

ITSA6 08-20-2006 07:38 PM

that looks much better now but arch what is your tint percent on the side and back i want to get mine done but don't know how dark

Car looks sweet man!

I've never liked the body color roof / roof pillars on the 4th Gen F-Bodies (and that includes Firebirds / TAs). The black just looks right on these cars.

I don't, however, like black side mirrors.....so you're making it look just right. :cool:

camaro_chic17 08-21-2006 12:59 AM

It looks good :) Def goes with your car.. as far as the hairband look.. I always had the ttops off and windows down so for my car I kinda like the look of the clear windshield then just the band of blue and black window. Parking in a garage and not daily driving my car helped me to never put mine on except to wash the car however and most ttops owners I know don't have theirs out near as much.

It's 20% on the rear window ~

and 30% on the sides ~

Thanks a lot for all the additional comments guys, ;) ....Even the ones that liked it better White. :)

Now I guess it's time again for another Sig Picture. :D
