Thanks! The paint correction really brought out the metallic under the sun. I'm a new big fan of Polo Green!

I prefer the LS1 tail lights though. Especially the candy corn ones. But good luck finding real ones. The knockoffs are hit or miss with fitment.
The LT1 SS cars have aged better than the LS cars for sure, but I still like both. The LT1 SS hood keeps its angle and continues wider than the SS hood, which looks nice on those cars. The green car will eventually get an LT1 SS hood, and LS style SS spoiler (brother's preference).

I have a set of OEM Candy Corns for my 99...will install them at some point. I don't mind the all red LT style taillights and think each car should keep what it came with. I polished the tails on the green Camaro, amazing how that can bring back the proper black, red, and clear from those lenses!

LT1 SS spoiler might be easier to clean and get water out from under. I dig either.

Yes, spot on about the hood wide ign at the back. They just look the business!

Agreed, LS style is easier for cleaning - but I like both as well.

LT SS hood is a must, plus the hood on the green car has been repainted, and it shows the lack of talent from that painter...

I miss my 93 TA. At 217,000 miles on the original LT1 and transmission it failed Kalifornia snag emissions tests. It was a triple polluter and a double polluter. She had to go. I still have my 85 TA to keep me in the F-body camp.
