Give it to me you'll buy my respect.

But in all honesty i would need to knwo more about your car. Color, t-top/hardtop/vert, what have you done already, what do you like... kinda need more info first.

But based on the little bits i have - if you haven't already done so clear corners are good. Rear "CAMARO" letter fill-ins are nice. Window tint. Lowering springs. Stripes. Those would work as a starting point.

well spend $0 and lose the bra. then i'd get an intake ($200) and a rear section exhaust ($150), then clear corners ($60) and rear urethane letters ($40)

theres $450 right there.

good intake/good exhaust, and loose the bra, you should spend 450 on a good intake and exhaust. figuring 300 for the exhaust and 1xx for the intake, then shipping, etc.

you don't need any more performance than a flowmaster exhast on an LT1? HAH. Alright, clears, rid the bra, grille perhaps, stripe kit? headlight conversion?

For $450:

Billet Grille -$50
Clear Corners-$50
Rally II Racing Stripes - $175
Tailight Blackouts-$60
Caliper Paint Kit -$5
Headlight Blackouts - $60

Spend the rest on products that will freshen up and gloss up your current paint.

Adam, you're just going to have to accept the fact that some people aren't all about performance. Deal with it.
