What do you guys think?

I've been on this website for years, bought parts here, and discussed a lot of problems on my car here finally I'm almost to a point to being able to paint my car.. Minus a few engine swap quirks its almot done.....Take a look and let me know what you think, it has 92 gfxs from the the rockers to the front bumper, and Iroc Daytona turbo hood, and a new fender as well. There are a few alignments I still have to work on like the hood and some of the gfxs but it should be to hard...








The black spots are black primer not holes, and the turn signals will be clear after paint, I thinking Artic White again but maybe with some pearl mixed in, either a white or blue pearl.....I dont know yet

Re: What do you guys think?

looks good to go, get her painted. The only suggestions I would say, and its just a matter of personal opinon thats all are;
1. Take of the side body molding it looks out of place, like a hood scoop on a civic.
2. Im a TA guy and I think, even though its alot of work, that fender vents (behind the wheel) look pretty bitchin' Im even thinking about putting some on my GTA
3. YOU NEED LOUVERS, with all the other GFX and hood louvers, rear window louvers aren't even a suggestion, its a neccisity!!!

I agree, you need louvers on the rear window. other then that its lookin good!
and DAGKANA - what are you refering to, the 91-92 camaro gfx under the door or the Trans Am fender vent? cuz if you're thinking about the camaro gfx check out my car.

Re: What do you guys think?

Thanks for the suggestions man, I love the 92 rs gfxs....But I always wanted to see what the rear window louvers would look like but I think the look is an aquired taste and I'm not sure if I have it or not... as for the door bump guards yeah there coming off before paint... Once again I'm not sure on fender vents as yet I've seen the turbo package and its killer but with all the cars that have them now, I mean I passed a buick lacrosse today and it had like four vents all chromed out I was like WTF? A buick family/old dude car with fender vents + chrome? I think (maybe,,,,maybe) I might go for the high rise spoiler but they are hard to find.... thanks though it been a long 6 years from zero paint on the hood to rear ending an old lady to now....It gives me something to go on, and it doesn't leave me alone with a wondering mind...And sorry about the earlier posts I didn't realize the major spelling errors I made,,,whoops

No the Trans Am fender vent, that would look sweet with the Daytona hood.

Tmic87TPI- I looked at your domain page the other day and drooled over your paint job. I also talked to TPI-Hearse and he told me about the Camaro GFX and the hood you got from him, I just opted to go with the ram air 2 as well, you running it with the air box? or stock intake?

lets see, the paint total came out to something like this (give or take a little). reducers and activators included in prices.
primer - $90 for a gallon of omni high build
base - $550 for a gallon of ppg, any other color will be cheaper because red is ridiculously expensive
clear - $160 for a gallon of omni
and I did all the spraying myself.
