Well I finally finished up my IROC. Got the baby repainted and she is now ready to roll once again. Just got the IROCZ door decals put on after having to wait 2 weeks. Let me know what you guys think of her.

Nope. Never did much care for the stripes. Just didn't give the car that clean appearence in my opinion. I did however love the IROCZ decals which is why I put them back on the car.

The only stripes I like are the blue ones like on IROCTHE5.7L's car. And Custom X's black car with the red stripes.

I like the 85-87 IROC-Z28 stripes alot, but the 88-90's are OK IMO.

The entire job including parts was $2700, but I sort of know the guy who painted it so I got a pretty good deal from him.
The tips were purchased from a muffler shop here in Fresno for $35 each. I originally wanted the rectangular tips from 4th gen Z's but they are like $75 a piece or something so I went with these.

They didn't paint over rust like they did to TFM4th did they? Looks good what kinda wax are you going to use. Come on its fresh paint get the expensive stuff.

We didn't have any measurements for the decals so I took a picture of someones car I found in the readers rides section here and just sort of eye balled it as best we could. I might be a bit high but I'm not too worried about it.

I am trying to vote but it is giving an error saying it is an invalid action. I think your car looks GREAT! How about some engine and interior pics?
