I recently bought another Camaro after having my old one totaled back in July(92 Camaro). Its a 1997 SS with a few minor problems.

First of all it needs front struts and tires. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to take it to? The car has new vette rims that I don't want scratched. I live in North Plainfield, somerset county, any place near there would be great. Thanks in advance.

Heres a picture of it. It needs to be detailed...

Sweet car man. Make sure you take it to a shop that knows how to handle chrome wheels. Some run of the mill shops like an STS have machines meant for taking tires off of steel rims which can damage chrome wheels. Theres a place by me that does good work but it would be a bit of a drive for ya. The guy that owns it is cool as hell though and he'll hook you up with nice tires and struts for a good price.

Btw you should throw a coat of wax on those wheels after u get the new tires, itll prevent rust from forming and will help keep the brake dust from sticking.

FWIW, I've never been in an STS that did not have a proper clamp style rim machine. And I've been in a lot of them.

Sorry, I don't know any shops up there in Plainfield.
