Flames are iffy to me. Most of the time I don't think they look right on 3rd Gens. Maybe Ghost flames.

Go for the flames man! Not many thirdgens have flames so it will look different. Plus there are so many different things you do to make your flames different from everybody else's, but a heritage stripe is a heritage stripe not much else you can do to it to make it different.

Awesome!

Wow, that looks awesome from here!!
My 4 and a half year old son was watching telly when I had your cars picture on my laptop. He shouted ("thats a nice car Dadda"). I didn't even think he was looking! For him to say that, it is praise indeed!
Ironically, we have a black 1991 RS Camaro standing outside on the drive that I am putting a truck 350 in and is then going to have a paint job done. It is so tempting to have a similar theme done now!!
Have you got any more photos?

Andy.

No problemo!

Telly? International language!

Hi uk89camaro!
Sorry about the "british lingo" there!
I phoned Karl about this paint job, and it looks as if I could be the proud owner of a flamed Camaro in the UK pretty soon!!
Just got to get the engine back from the shop and installed. The car is booked in to Karl's shop in August! Better save up fast! This could be one expensive paint job!!

Andy.

I'm voting for black heritage stripes too, it would look badass.

Thanks David.
Absolutely superb!
Have you got any more?

Your car in the UK would be a show winner every time!!

I wonder if mine will look anything like as good as yours when it is done? It is booked in to the paint shop in August.

Thanks again.
Andy.

that ride is hideous, ugh not my style at all. sorry im the classic hugger orange with black racing stripes style on a first gen. i like the stock looks of cars, altho this one mustang had like rips in it in MM&FF it was the baddest looking car ever. it was like yellow/red/purple and was BA. i like racing stripes and stock rims, unless its the ZR-1 rims hehe.
