Sorry I haven't gotten around to updating you guys on the new paint job, I haven't really been home since I got the car back, need to get in inspected in less then 3 days till I am screwed. I did get the car back on monday. The only thing that isn't ready is the wing. They should be done with that by the end of this week and will install it for me. Here are a couple pics.

Looks great! Get the wing on there and it'll be perfect. Does the stripe on the hood continue to the rear? I can't tell from the pictures. I really like that color red too.

Real Sharp!

Very nice

The wing will definately finish it up. Just curious, why did you use the older IROC style grill though?

BADNBLK

iTrader: (11)

Looks good! I really like the stripe, and hope it goes to the deck lid too!

rwdtech

wow looks really nice, i like the wheels too. when u say wing do you mean the 91-92 highrise style or the RS style?

First of all, great to come in here an hour later and see some awesome coments.

Mike - No the stripe does not go all the way to the rear, I thought about that but decided it would uglify the car. My high rise spoiler is in the paintshop right now, it will go on for you guys.


Plasma - The grill was already on the car when I bought it. I think I like it better than a bowtie though.

Thanks to the rest and their comments.

I also in the past hour finished up the rest of the hood I wanted to be an original job.....including the paint scheme and then this.........

took me about an hour to make templets, had to drill 5 holes on each side

Looks great, I really like different color cowl as well.

CYARS92

beautiful! Nice job!!

Tobias05

utterly mesmerizing. that has to be the hottest color for 3rd gens of all time.


did u reuse the dark red metallic that came stock in the later years?

gorgeous.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

Is that Flame Red Metallic?


Whatever it is, it looks great. Good job

looks clean man. who did the paint? If the clear side markers are still available...you should get a set. They would look alot better than the orange. Post pictures when you get the highrise installed.

For the couple of you that asked about the paint. It was indeed the stock color that came on the car. You can look at my avy and see how much my car was faded before the paint job.

A place around here called B&R autobody painted it.

I do indeed have the clear side markers, I bought them from Kandied.... from off this site, I was looking for some and he offered me his. They will go on after inspection.,


Thanks for the comments.

Beautiful car! What kind of fogs are those?

BuiltZ28

Car looks great.

Now get some fresh front marker lenses and polish them tails!

killerklown

Love that color! Nice ride!!!

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

compuwiz - they look to be some kind of foglights ud find and advanced, the guy who owned the car before me installed them. I actually just took them out, they arent going to pass inspection becuase they are hot all the time, they have to turn off when the high are engaged and i dont feel like putting a relay in.

builtz28- i will have to take the tail light polishing into consideration.

thanks killer clown

awesome! you gave me an idea of what to so with my cowl when i go get er painted, all i can see is some clear parking lights and sidemarkers, sweet ride.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Must be a state thing? They don't even check fog lights here. I've rewired my to be on, regardless of high/low beams. A simple 5 minute, grounding connection conversion to the stock setup, that could be just as easily reversed, not that I would ever want to.

Instead of taking them off, why not just disconnectc the power, or pull the fuse or bulbs. Claim they are dead, and you just leave them on for looks. Get home, and fix however you "killed" them!

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Another rule.... If your car has them, they have to work, and if ur car is supposed to have them, they must be there and must work. Laws suck here, just took mine to try and get it inspected and my hood wont pass, need to find a stock one to put on there. Suuucks.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Where are you? You can't remove fog lights? You can't change your hood? What about wheels? Tires?

This sounds a little fishy to me...Are you sure you understand your state laws correctly? This sounds like laws they couldn't have. I suppose you can't change a car's color, or have "racing stripes" either...

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Commenwelth of VA. The hood won't pass because it is a 3 inch cowl. The legal limit is 2 1/8.

compuwiz1937

iTrader: (17)

Damn that sucks! I'm glad I live in GA! All we have to do is pass a sniffer test on a dyno for 96 and older cars.

pairtoe

iTrader: (4)

thats awesome, i really want a cowl hood now. those letters look sweet.

AJ89Irocz

Car looks sweet man, love the black on the hood!

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

compuwiz, ur lucky, i ALSO have to pass the sniff test as a 305.

I am glad you guys like the hood, I am also glad it turned out awesome. I just wanted somthing that would stand out from any other 3rd gen. out there, same with the emblem....

thanks for the comments.

Bad-Newz

That car is sexy! Plain and simple. Nice...

maroon88iroc

iTrader: (7)

nice looking car man they did a good job on the paint i really like the cowl induction emblem and that spoiler when it gets on will help the entire look of the car a ton. the stripe is not my style but it doesnt look bad i like to see people trying different stuff anyways and that is a unique idea. post some more pics with the spoiler on!

sprtbikeprinces

Wow, you have got to be pretty happy. It looks great!

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Bad-newz - Thanks man

Maroon - I am not sure when I will get pics of the spoiler mounted, my car as of yesterday has dead inspection, so I wont be able to drive it to the paint place to have them mount it. If I call and its done before tuesday, I can just birng it home and mount it myself, but if not, I am leaving wedensday and wont be back for a week, so it might be a while before I get pics, but I will eventually. Thanks for the comments as well.

sprtbike - I am indeed very happy with the outcome, and like everyone is saying, can't wait to see it with the high-rise.

tourville

iTrader: (2)

sorry to hear about inspection paint looks great! tell em to pass it just because of the paint job!

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Lol, I wish it was that easy. Actually, when I get back I will put the stock hood on, and it will pass. Everything else works, the hood is the only thing stopping me, I already hooked up the stock breather and all to pass the smog check. So, when I get back from AZ, I will drive the bitch to inspection. Then I can also put my clear side markers in.

eschevyrda

very nice camaro the blk over the cowl gives it like an old skool hot rod look to it ..........i congradulate you on the car

question what size are your rims and tires?

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the complemnt man, the tires are 245/40 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. I got the 40 series in the front to make sure my tire didnt rub the black plastic in there, my old ones used to run, and I think It looks better with a lower tire in the front. They are on a 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 in back.

Here are a couple more pics I jsut took. One of the front with emblem, one of top and right now was the first time I took a pic with the T-tops off. I will post one of that as well.

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Ok, I have came to notice I do not wanna use the HighRise. I really don't wanna mess with drilling holes in the car, I am scared I will mess up and would much rather use stock holes to mount. I am def. going to buy the Hawk's 5 inch and put that on there. I already got my other spoiler painted but have a sudden change in heart. If anyone is looking for a fiberglass high rise, I have it posted in the classifieds. Thanks guys, and also, what do you think about a Hawks 5 inch?

mike_c

iTrader: (13)

I think the 5 inch spoiler will go better with the cowl hood and the overall look of the car than the high rise spoiler would.

Stevo

iTrader: (45)

Awesome paint dude. Looks killer, also the 5" hawks spoiler will go great with the cowl

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the input guys. I really do think it will look better too, it will all flow together and def. stand out of the crowd even more. The only problem is my hatch is kinda off, so up close it might look a little shitty, but all in all will really stand out.

Tobias05

i like the 5 inch pretty well, but i think it looks even sweeter when they round down the corners a little bit.

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Well, when I took my car for inspection and it passed, I came right home and installed these.



The license plate bracket and the clear side markers.

Great looking car. I like the black and red on the hood.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Wait a sec...You passed WITHOUT a fugly front plate, then you went home and put one on? Isn't that a little backwards?

tourville

iTrader: (2)

lol seems to be backwards! looks great with the sidemarkers

XxGeinNothingxX

iTrader: (1)

Ya. It is backwords, I put it on before. That wouldnt keep me from passing though.

Jgolden314

Looks great. Love the wheels.
