Friend of mine has a sweet LS. Hes done some nice mods to it and one thing was he upgraded to 20" RS wheels and tires for 800 bucks. Not too bad if you ask me.

To the OP, your friend isn't a complete dunce because those steelies are the worst rims available on stock camaros. Good thing you tried to hide them with a layer of paint.

Thats ur opinion, if you think a zl1 grille on a ls is worse than a mustang with a big huge hood scoop, u got some serious issues

To the OP, just a few minutes ago i was wiping down my car when a guy zoomed past me on a bike yelling,'' nice car but thats a fake a** paint.'' I just had to laugh out loud because he had to be in his late 40s on a bike and i just turned 24

Be careful of them fake hood scoops

Saw a Camaro with one one time, people laughed at it until he opened the hood to show why.. He had cut a hole in his hood to clear a supercharger. The stick on scoop was a cheap and stealthy way of hiding it.

Looks like the heritage wheels with the trim rings removed to me.

I can't say I disagree with the cousin, but at least they aren't alloys painted black.

Sorry, but if you have the steel wheels...they are ugly. Easily cured with RS wheels

If you shall notice, I said that the zl1 fake is almost as bad. Not that it was worse than.

And btw, what's fake about your paint? Lol

lol, I have no idea The paint looks killer and its not even done yet, still needs a nice buff n wax, was Hemi Orange stock.
I can't haul a** and drive like Richard Petty due too my 24s but that was the reason for getting them Every one always rev their engines up at me
I just laugh, let my trunk bang and continue to cruise

Nice, but I never bought into the whole "stealth" thing. Unless you're buying a grocery getter, a car has to be presentable. I've seen those SC covers that peek out of the hood, but you can see that they are not glued directly onto the hood thereby making them look legit.

People are always hating on the LS rims, they dont look that bad. There not the best but its not a bad rim once u customize them a bit. I would just paint the lip black and put it back on but thats just my opinion.
