Re: The Project: Camaro Z28 IROC-Z 5,7

HA HHA, no thanks. I was just curious. I don't really like them even on my berlinetta. I love the wheels on my rs, they're just a tad small. I'd like to find them in 15's or 16's.:lol:

Re: Unique Front Design aka 1st Gen

Unfortunately no. I removed all of the support framing for the hood latch system so there is no place to remount it. It was the only way I could come up with the desired result.

Re: The Project: Camaro Z28 IROC-Z 5,7

Very smooth. I'd like to see a shot of those wheels. I have a set of those in 16's on my berlinetta. Always wanted to know what they looked like in black.
