Time to start fixing her up

Well i just got a job after about 3 weeks of no work. So its gonna be time to start fixing up the camaro. First off i'm gonna fix some dents and do some more work on the back end (was wrecked when i bought it..fixed it all with my bro at home). Replace the hood and driver side fender if i can't fix it up. I think i'm just gonna get a better stock hood for now till i can afford a nice one. New rims for sure and a fresh coat of black paint. Also gonna redo most of the interior. Here is a pic of it now Give me some ideas of what yall think might make it look better

paint doesn't look all too bad from that photo, i would def hold off on the paint for now and work on other things first. as for the interior get yourself a nice set of 4th gen seats itll look great with your car, the bowtie grill is a nice alternative to the rs grill

You're on the right track by replacing the wheels...a little too "bling" for my taste. A fiberglass cowl hood looks nice on a 3rd gen Camaro, maybe with a 91-92 Z style spoiler in the rear. Other than that, and a little paint and bodywork like you mentioned, and you'll have it looking good!

also cant go wrong with Iroc grid lights. Nice set of rims will do ya good insted of the "hunn'ed spokes" you got there now. Get her some nice engine stuff to and she'll be happy. have fun and treat her nice... stay away from the clear"euro" lights

Make it run good, and make it fast.

Then make it pretty.

I would suggest an iroc grill in the front with some fog lights, new 17" rims, maybe drop it an inch or two, and tint the windows. Also, get something like 3" slash cut chrome exhaust tips and have them tucked up under the bumper a little bit. Then that would be a beautiful car.

Thinking the same thing, ditch the bling bling wheels, and at least trim back those tailpipes before someone cuts themselves up getting something out of the trunk!

if you do or dont add tipes to your tailpipes, atleast take them somewhere and have them lines up the same on both sides.
