I like it because I've never seen another Third Gen done in that color. I'd go a little darker and some flake though.

GHEY

sorry, someone had to... I agree... slap a black stripe blending into the word HEMI on the side and throw in a pistol grip shifter and you got youself a cuda... Stay away from the day-glow colors... just cause the car is from the 80's doesnt mean it has to bring out the oh-so-great taste of the 80's...

If you like it then go for it. I dont think its 'ghey' at all. That shade is very close to Lamborghini Green. Would you call a Lambo 'ghey'?? I know I wouldnt ...

Definately neah, a little too florescent, even my florecent green silicon hoses in my engine bay are kind of annoying, I couldn't imagine how annoying it is on a car.


Like a big moving highlighter. Add a darker hue of a green and I would like it.

I think it will look sweet with the black headlight pockets, some body mods (like shaved bumpstrips and 91-92 gfx), and the right set of rims. But if you just squirt it, then it will look ******y. or if you get some 14 inch chrome rims.
is ******y a word?

lol i actually asked you guys your opinion because i couldn't decide what i thought. i was looking through the pictures, and part of me was saying "hey that's pretty cool" but the other part was saying "waayy too flashy", but neither side was winning. and then i ask on here, and it's split near 50-50 again!:sillylol:

Well, I wouldn't have thought hugger orange would look that good, but this car certainly pulled it off. The green just seems a hair r!ce to me, but hey, if the car is done right anything is possible.

An exotic or a nice custom car can pull off having a nice neon green paint job......It looks nice on lambo's.....

A stock looking IROC with some odd looking rims, unfortunatly can't pull off having a wild and crazy neon green paintjob....


I vote neigh

My 'rents said when they went on vacation to Fort Walton Beach, FL last summer, they saw a bunch of new '02 WS6 T/A's painted in crazy bright colors like that at a new car dealership. (neon shades of yellow, green, blue, orange, etc...)

Wish I coulda saw them, they said they looked really sweet.

Well if we're nit picking its also a Firebird and not a Camaro...the yellow gfxs and spoiler have nothing to do with the color still being similar.

86WS6_T/A That would of been cool to see. I know the Ponticac dealership by my house had 4 35th anniversary yellow convertible Trans Ams a while back, but I've never seen neon greens or blues before.
