Not too crazy about the camaro side ground effects...maybe if you incorporated the front end the same as the 91-92's did it would look better. You know, right in front of the front tire.

Paint looks good though.

I like the color and the camaro side skirts......they don't look out of place to me....mostly because they are the same style and shape as the TA's minus the scoop

Good Job

looks nice and shiny! and i think the 91/92 camaro ground effects look really good on there.

thanks guys.
Transamfreak- you have no idea how much work went into making them the same shape as the T/A gfx, because the camaro "RS" emblem was there.
charcoal- this pic may change your mind since it has the hood scoops in it too (but I didn't have my spoiler on yet...)

looking good tmic. Came out nice after the buffing. i figure you used around 1500-2k paper to wet sand it right?

have you thought of trying to make the front gfx like the 91-92camaros? looks good with the hood, just looks weird from the side because it's only done to the skirt and not the front as well.

the thought actually crossed my mind but I love the front end of the trans am, actually I love the whole look of the 85-90 trans am but I wanted something a little different and out of the ordinary. but think of it like this; if you didn't know what those side gfx came from, would it still look weird?

thanks man, I used 1500 and dry sanded it, I prefer to dry sand after when doing something like this, it makes it easier because you can see the orange peel as your going, you won't have to wait for water to evaporate.

yeah, I was toying with the idea of the camaro side gfx, then I got the hood and decided I had to do the gfx conversion. as for the color, I fell in love with it once I saw it, then I kinda fell out of love with it at $359 a gallon for just the color, but I decided it was worth it.

thanks man, the house is my parents, I just live there lol
and Im still not sure if these wheels are permanent or not. any opinions?

sonymaster- I only used like half a gallon but I wanted the extra so I can repaint parts overtime in case something happens.
