Rep Power: 649

I washed the car at work yesterday for pics today and wouldn't you know it, it rains during the night. Oh well, these will have to do. First some before pics



Now the after.






What I did: stock wheels painted almost black, calipers red, berger panel painted black, tinted taillights, park lights, tinted back window and thats about it. I will keep the other wheels for summer but does anyone know why the sidewall on the cragars keeps getting cut up? 255 tires with spacers and I don't think my car squats that much. Maybe I will replace the shocks and see if it helps next year. Also, the previous owner put on that beautiful bull intake. Should I keep it on or get rid of it? I got it tuned and madtuner said it was alright, but I want more opinions. And because I am a picture , here is one more of my baby.

Let me know what you guys think. Also anyone have any ideas bout my other wheels/tire combo? This is what it looks like from the side.

are your fender lips rolled? you might be cuttin them up on that. i love the black look with the stockers very nice choice. car looks good. That intake should work. personally i think it looks like but that's just my opinion. car looks great though. nicely done

Roll your fenders, it looks like your tires stick out a lil far, I know in my 95, the rear suspension was soft, not sure if it like that in all, but i know in the rear if your suspension is soft like mine was then your rear sidewalls would get cut up.

sorry for the newb question, but is there a how to for rolling fenders? I've never owned one of these and I come from a truck backround. I guess the closest thing I did to rolling the fenders is whack the wheel well on the inside with a hammer to bend it back but it didn't seem to help. If that ain't it tell me what I gotta do. Thans.

Well there are a coouple ways to do it, you can buy a fender roller that attaches to your hub, or you can use like ITSA6 said a baseball bat, a peice of ABS pipe, anything round would work, but also will need a heat gun to ease the process. This link is for an Audi but it give you a good idea of what you need to do.

tires stick out too wide. gotta get the wheels set in more/run a smaller tire. the backspacing on the wheels looks like your biggest problem. the TBSS looks dope as man!!!

When I bought the car, the wheels were already on it, and it came with spacers between the wheels and rotors. If I maybe not put those on, do you think it will help? Also, I know this is a little off topic, but what is the color called that my camaro is? I can't get an answer from nobody. One person said it was rust, but I don't know if thats what the color is called.

Hey Chief here is a good pic to see what fender rolling will look like. Here is a Dodge Magnum with 24"'s and bags. Look at the lip how it narrows behind the tire(Around the level of the 24" emblem on the fender). Three pics where you can see it, two of the front, and one of the rear.

From the rear:

It looks much better with the pro stars (even though it would look much better with the correct BS rear wheels).

I am not a fan of the black rim thing AT ALL.
I dont mind a black wheel with a poslished or chrome lip. But the entire wheel painted black looks like (IMO). From a distance the tire and wheel just blend together and it looks like an old car on black steel wheels.

Thats exactly what I want it to look like. I don't want no cop action in this car, thats what my truck is for and if you see the rims on it you know I too like black with polished lip. Thanks for posting the magnum pics, I'll roll the fenders soon enough I guess. The car is getting an exhaust put on it right now and afterwards, I need to look at the rear end. It is making a lot of funny noises lately. Thanks guys.
