Not to bash or anything. But it almost looks like rice. I don't like the color scene at all. Of course thats just me though.

I think that could look good, with different color stripes, smaller hockey stripes, and no windshield sticker.
I think they paint stripes on,
don't know about the grill, or the cost but probably like 2-3 grand if you want good qaulity

FORD Rustangs -R- Us

rice? are you joking? thats prolly the nicest looking camaro hardtop of seen on here (white one atleast) but still 2-3 grand even if your white paint is already good and the whole car doesnt have to be painted? im talkin you buy a car with paint in excelent condition and you just need to paint the stripes on

I like the color scheme, and I like the way the car loooks.

theformula

rice? Yea right, any true ***** would never drive a camaro ....especially that one (well....maybe the trailer park ricers would that are caught between a headbanger and Wu Tang Clan). That picture reminds me of something a ****** would drive. I can just picture him now, cleaning the tires with his curly ****** all over his "YES" t-shirt.

I like the way the front end looks and the hood/paint job. I don't like the colors used. I don't like the fact that the grill sticks out from the body. If it was pushed back in an inch I think it would look a lot better. Let me stress that the windshield banner is FUGLY on a camaro. There are one a few reasons for having a banner and even then I don't like the idea. Yes it is company advertisment BUT it also looks like trash. That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it .
I would also have gotten the full set of 90-92 ground effects BEFORE getting the paint job. Half-*** jobs = half *** products.
Other than that I like the car a lot.

Can someone with photoshop or something do me a HUGE favor and try and change the colors? i think that would like amazing with the white being black, and the green being yellow...anyone please do it and pose pics

Vision

Hi, (new-booty here). Well, I like it. I think it looks clean due to the light colors. I do agree with the banner, it looks out of place, and the front grill seems to not fit but if pushed back would look great.
Question, how does an 92 RS w/ no mods hold vs. mustangs, gt 3000, eclipse, stealth?

theformula

how many of you have ******s ? jk


To answer your question, stock vs. stock, turbo stealths and 3000GTs will wax the sh*t out of third gens. Especially when they're modified. There are guys on 3si.org doing 12.2s on the stock turbos and stock internals!

Now for the non turbo DOHC versions, they are more competition for you. As are the turbo eclipses

So my RS is trictly just looks, and won't take 1 single car? and what about the mustangs I know they range from 3.4 -> 5.8 (?).

Just want to know so I don't make a fool out of myself. Got my RS 3 weeks ago.

daniel dekay

hey THE FORMULA, i posted a ****** post on nethirdgen.org i think u might like it. my name over there is sumguy1118. i can only dream of having a ******. hopefully one day the fantasy will come true.

a ****** is THE BEST haircut ever. it became popular in the eighties, but since has become an endanger'd species. the lead singer from metallica used to have one. short on the top and long to the neck in the back. some call it a "neck blanket", i perfer the term 'business up front and party in back". check out the various ****** websites. a personal favorite is www.******sgalore.com or www.******joe.com both fine sights.

theformula

lol dan.

RS guy, I'd have to know more about your RS to give you help. Engine/tranny/year/

Mo

I was thinking 2 - 3 grand to paint the whole car, if paint was already good and just wanted stripes it probably wouldn't be too expensive.

bigrobb

It seems a lot of people in here still jump to ***** conclusions...

FORD Rustangs -R- Us

Anyone? photoshop?

Jza

Quick 'n' sloppy. Apologies to whoever's car this is (which looks fine to me except the grille and the windshield banner).

wow thx man

not too shabby

any commments? i kinda like change maybe a few things, tighten grill and stuff...

what u all think? i accually might paint it like that

TransAmDave

Alright, I thought I'd try to make that car look a little better so i fooled around abit, hopefully these pics work

My1stCamaro92RS

Thanks T/ADave. I like the black on white of the two. Going back to the original pic, the light blue is too subtle for a car that looks like it screams down the highway. Needs a darker stripe IMO.

FORD Rustangs -R- Us

ya, those look cool...can the guy that did the real nice ones do a black and yellow version, that looks like the white and black? also if its not toomuch trouble can you add a yellow pin stripe? not a big hockey thing, just a little pin stripe like on a BMW or somethin

thx all for your help!

wow...its magic!! the rims changed too!!!

Well it's not perfect but here you go

If your thinking of putting yellow stripes on black i think that's a bad idea. i think it'd look better with the classic white on black or maybe silver.

bigrobb

hey TransAmDave can you do just the side hockey stipes blue (like on the other pic you did, only they were on the hood), that might look cool both sets of stipes are kinda overkill though.


And I like the grill (just thought I'd say that) but they do look kinda gay white. maybe if the car were blue... or just the grill was black with sum headlight covers and car was still white.

is it me or am I the only one that thinks the original white grill looks like PAINTED CARDBOARD!?

MARKSREDZ

I love Camaros but theres something about that paint job that makes me want a mustang.

johnyIROC

That is the fugliest camaro I have ever seen. ***-blue on white.... bad combo. And the ghetto rigged cardboard grille is the worst ever.

try silver with black stripes, i would like to see that.But could you make them round instead of a straight egde.thanks.

johnyIROC

Damned censoring..... just in case anyone is wondering, the official factory colour of that paint is F A G - blue....

Jims83TA

I think that white grills on the front is the same plastic they use to cover the light fixtures in my school. My friend was going to do that with his *****. He was going to go to home depot and buy that plastic light fixture cover, which is a cheap plastic which is easy to cut and snaps really easy, and he was going to put it in his grill. He was then going to put strobes under his grill so that the whole grill would light up, since that is what the plastic does. The plastic actually stretches the light sorta so it looks like the whole piece is lighting up. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me. I dont know why my friend wants to put strobes on his *****, but then again I dont know why he even drives a *****. Correct me if I am wrong but it does look like that plastic that he was talking about the other night.

TomP

Jim, I was thinking the same thing; in fact, I'm under a flouresent (sp) lamp right now, and that plastic cover looks like the grill cover!

Ravenous

Everyone on this board is too set in their ways. Everything that is different, someone's personal style, someone's attempt to make their car stand out from the monotony of the rest of our third-gens is always bashed. ALWAYS! Everyone on this bored is too critical.

I'm not a fan of "ricers", but you have to give them one thing. They stick together. They don't flame everyone who has an original idea.

------------------
Ravenous ...stronger than you think.

Purple 92 SS

While i agree with your point on the sticking together, and origional ideas, I have to defend my compadre's here on the boards.. I belive that what they are trying to say is that there is a difference from customizing and the proverbial "ghettoing" of a vehicle. For instance would you paint a farrari pink? would you put wire rims and make it look "froggish" on a lambo diablo? No. there is a difference in simple customs and customs with taste..

an example would be the car above, yes it is custom, yes the owner had many origional and good ideas, however the end product is not pleasant to the eyes.. just as a gremlin or the 1975 ford pinto is not pleasant to the eyes.


Another comparison would be choosing between Carmen electra or Ricki Lake. I really doubt that anyone here would pick Ricki Lake.

Its all in taste is what it boils down to, and unfortunatley not everyone has good taste to everyone else.. I see no reason to flame just to simply say good idea, bad result.IMHO.

but that is the key now isnt it.
IMHO.

just another .02 from the loony bin

I am a graphic designer by trade. I am paid to know what looks good and what doesn't. It is an undisputable fact that that car does not look good.

I will say that I respect the notion that the guy did some work to his car. I am sure he spent some time TRYING to make it look nice... at least he keeps his car in good shape... there is nothing worse than an owner who lets a thirdgen rust away.

86TpiTransAm

What is good taste to you may be bad taste to someone else! And vice versa! By saying not everyone has good taste is simply flaming those who do like the car! It's OPINION! State it without criticising others...there's a difference between flaming criticism and constructive criticism!!

That said, my OPINION is that it looks good but I would have chosen different colors!! My preference!
(Notice the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism)!

I like it.

TechSmurf

Someone say silver on black?
It's a crappy pic due to lighting conditions at the time, but it'll give you a pretty good idea of the finished product. Stripes are ultra silver metallic paint.

EDIT: My god.. I can't believe I just did that.. put in a pic over 700 pixels wide.
Here's a.. erm.. smaller one.. that won't offset the whole document.
