from close you can see scratches in the paint and beauty errors that will make you go
( to bad, it looked nice from further away )
on the other hand, it has 270000 miles on the clock and is stil driven daily.
+ it gets funded with what i earn during summer ( around 1800 euro ) - 1100 euro ( roadtaxes for a 3.1 v6 camaro, for a 5.7L v8 it would be 2000 euro roadtaxes yearly )
Ha Ha! My RS was a (Hollywood) California car for the first 17 yrs of life, its first first time in snow was when I drove it cross-country last December and I drove up to the Grand Canyon!
I was considering some additional rims and the rims you have showing are on the short list, but its hard to choose between those and these C4 style Corvette ZR-1 rims made specially to fit Camaros: http://www.youngsfbody.com/inc/sdetail/32553
They have the same paint scheme (black/chrome) with or without tires installed.
Also you can get Trans-Am GTA rims that are painted black, with optional chrome center caps look great ,too. http://www.youngsfbody.com/inc/sdetail/2889
The paint is fading on mine and will be needing a re-paint soon, but I am thinking about adding a new hood http://www.spohn.net/shop/1982-1992-...loed-Hood.html
and maybe a new spoiler http://www.spohn.net/shop/1982-1992-...r-3-Piece.html
My RS has 216,000 miles (347,000 km) on it so I will be going back to spohn.net alot.
if I where you I would still go for the black TT2's
trans am wheels on a camaro is a nono.
the jongbloed hood only works a carbed car. I like the TurboZ hood more.
I do like the 3 piece spoiler that you want.
btw, my car had 270 000 Miles when I changed the gauges.
and on my new gauge I got 18 000 km
if only would allow me to weld in SFC's
and if only they would allow aftermarket brakes or drum to disc conversions. I hat my country rules.
and for my car color its WA-L9540. with silver heritage stripes
its a stock 91 camaro color
I dont know what to say. You made that car into a beauty. I love the red and white color, looks absolutely amazing, great work!!
SILVER stripes
btw, I still dont get why GM didnt do this color combo on their anniversary stripes.
( I would still like to own
a deep blue car with silver stripes
a yellow car with black stripes and black interior
a polo green car with gold stripes
a hugger orange car with black stripes.
a black interceptor like camaro with black rims, black interior,black everything.
so lets see.
on a porsche you can have braided steel brake linesand vented discs because they are standard on them.
on your honda civic, golf, or whatever, they are not stock. ( and they come across these cars daily )
so the honda upgrades its brakes to vented discs with braided lines.
"hmm, thats not stock"
and you failed inspections.
swap from rubber to poly bushings is not allowed, neither are swaybar changes, because it can change your handling. ( ofcours that IS the whole point of changing them )
anyway, lets say you buy those bright red once from spohn.
"hmm, thats not stock"
you fail inspections.
Now you would buy the black ones ( or unpainted ones ), without any logo's or so.
you throw some mud and stuff on it so that it looks old and factory like.
and they probably don't even notice.
Belgium has so many rules they don't even know themselves where you have to be to get something approved.
anyway, lets say I would buy baer sport kit brakes.
lets say I buy a sweet system from baer, red calipers, cross drilled slotted zink washed rotors, braided steel lines,....
now that looks way to good for inspections, so they would start investigating it.
if I would ask baer to make me a non cross drilled , no slotted, rotor, with black calipers ( no logo's ) , and I use my old lines again ( or paint the braided ones black )
it doesn't look that fancy, and if they ask why it looks so new , I can say that I just had new gm brakes installed at my garage.
best of all would be if I would slam somekind of gm numbers in the aftermarket parts.
then inspections would be happy.
anyway, if it looks like crap or stock there isnt a problem, if it looks fancy and tuned, your screwed.
for the airbag , wel our cars only came with an airbag from 90 to 92.
so there are camaro's with and without an airbag. ( and again maybe 20 camaro's in belgium )
I removed every sticker that says that my car has an airbag.
removed my inflation rest light.
the new wheel looks stock including the firebird logo on the horn ;P
I laughed about the dashlight, I remember having to look up what "INFL REST"
(inflatable restaint)
meant in the manual. I don't know why they din't just say AIRBAG.

what I actually need to do is prove something is stock.
some people here even got somekind of tuningcard over here because theyre car was equiped with a spoiler ( from the factory )
then its up to you to prove the spoiler is stock on the vehicle.
so what I also can do with the baer brakes is proof that it was an option on the car named 1LE performance package ( inclusif the swaybars and stuf )
I lived in Belgium for a few years and indeed found the regulations to strickt for me.
For that reason, being a Dutch citizen, I always registered my cars in the Netherlands for the time I was living in Belgium.
Now, living in Germany, it´s fairly easy going. It´s pretty hard to find parts but a technical test and smog test is only mandatory every 2 years and I past my last one by having the car technically mainly ok and running and I cheated a little.
ok, I know Mechelen. I lived in Tongeren and tried Liege for a few weeks, but not speaking any french I got hungry after a while and moved to the UK after that.
I now live in germany, not all that far away even.
I must say you own a great car there. It looks very clean. Mine is still more of a project I´m working on then anything else but it´s slowly getting there.
Do you, by any chance, know any good sources in europe for bodyparts? I´m missing both driver side wheelwells (you know, the plastic covers on the inside of the wheel archs) and have no luck in finding replacements at the time.
Same goes for a front stabilizer bar.
I dont know how far you live from the dutch border ( netherlands) . but in helmond near Eindhoven there is a guy who only dismantels F-body's and sell the parts.
got an alternator there for 50 euros.
he will have everything you need.
thnx for the phone number, I´ll have to give him a ring I guess.
As to the wrong bird, the airbrush would have been ok if the car were black or blue but the remaining accessories are just making it a terrible waste of a nice car.
What´s the sheriff foing in the second picture? I have never seen any of those around while I lived in Belgium

it was a meeting of 20 years camaro custom club at the double D ranch in (Heist-Op-Den-Berg)/Hulshout.
and exept cars there is also bbq, linedancing, rockabilly music, bud beer, and a lot of people with cowboyhats :P
I got to dissapoint you.
since belgium laws support ricers, all or tuners are al show and no go.
fat exhaust, cold air intake, bodykitt, lowering springs, big rims, spoiler, lexus lights.and big ice installation.
mostly on an opel astra, vw golf, seat ibiza
