beautiful car, man


where did you get those seats..........those are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Man, is that a cop in your neighbors driveway? Better stay away from him! They hate it when people speed by their houses.

 

thats sweet car. do u get in alot of trouble with the cop right a cross ur street?

 

Heh no the cop dosent give me any **** except when im playing my system around my street cause its 2000 watts tottal and it kinda shaks all there houses lol, and the seats i jus tthought up my self and went to an apolstry place and they made them it was like 900 dollars i think it was well worth it

 

Now i no from the pic you dont live in a trailor, but why the rear window louvers???? Those are worse than a bra!!! Overall decent car, you need to get those iroc wheels polished, the tpi set up polished, lower the car a touch, polish the taillights and some little things like that and it will be really nice!!

 

well actually i happen to love the look that the rear window louvers give and i found them for 50 bucks and i got GM to paint them for free lol so why not, and about the tail lights i plan to by tail light covers and black them out very soon so polishing them isnt a big deal, could anyone help me out with how to polish my rims more, the dirty clear coat is off and we polished it alittle but couldnt get any better than that

 

I don't think they look bad. If I ever put some on mine, i'll be sure to move out to a trailor..........

 

The search button knows all. Search on it, you'll find all the info you need and more.

Nice car, I like the color and the interior is alright. I don't like the fire extinguisher, I think those look stupid mounted in cars

 

that's a fire extinguisher? I thought it was a NAWS bottle! heh

 

:hail:

 

I like the aluminum panel over your gauge cluster. If I had a Camaro, that would probably be the first thing I'd replace.

SO, now for the big question, how does a young guy get the money to do all that?!?

 

keep the louvers, i think they look cool

 

I think thats the Krylon touch, not aluminum

 

Please don't ruin the look of your awesome car!!!

 

what kind of sub enclosure is that and how happy with it are you ?

 

You've been busy as hell, for only having that car for 3 monthes and making all those mods. I don't really care for all the silver on the interior, nor do I care for the rear hatch louver, but to each their own.

Very nice car. Well done.

 

Its a Q-logic box made specially for the third gen Camaro and I love it no other box looks as good or fits into this car as well as this one and the 2 10" rockford HE2's hit had as hell and sound amazing i also replaced the factory speakers with 2 6X9 Infinity and 2 4x6 Infinity speakers

 

I was being a wise ***. Though I do like the way they look on black cars, id most likely never put them on. Mine did come outta the factory with them though.

 

Car looks good, man.

I'm not crazy about blue interiors in general (Reminds me of Grandpa's Mercury) But your seats look good.

I actually like the louvers on IROC's and early SC's, so you won't hear any criticism from me. Most of the people are against louvers because so many of the cars that have 'em, the louvers are all faded and beat up lookin'

Your car looks pretty good (better than mine right now)

Edit: I just noticed the bowtie on your rear seat panel. That probaly causes a lot of double-takes, huh? Cool.

 

yeah your car looks good, I not to excited by the all silver gauge face, or center console. But to each man his own. But I would defiently work on your pipes, don't be wearin wife beaters, makes ya look like a complete reknob ! or at least do some curls for the girls and get those pipes lookin big and mean, and maybe eat a little now and then ! naah, just kiddin, car looks cool. just get rid of the wife beaters.

 

thanks alot for all the comments but what are some other things i should do to the car none engine wise...i dont got the money for that right now, i want to put tail light covers on will that look good? tell me ur opinion and what else i should do, since these pics i have put silver chevy bowtie stickers on the turn signal lights in the front of the var on both left and right side looks good

 

where'd you pick up the Q-logic box? The only place I've seen that one is Crutchfield and it runs like $300 from them.....

 

Yea crutch field is where i sw it too but I know a manger of a cartronics and he got it to me for 150 =) so i said sure cause it looks a hella lot better than a normal built box

 

I'd say no to the blackouts. I've only seen them look good on all-black cars. Anything else just says 'Look, I have blackouts, too!'

As far as other stuff goes, you could change up your fog lights. Someone here mounted oversize fogs in the stock boxes. I can't remember who, but I'll look.
Alternatively, to be different, and because you are in Florida, and don't have a front license plate, you could take out the center section of the grille, and mount two big lights in the center of the opening. You'd have to use those jumbo-size Hellas or KC's to fill that opening but I think it'd look pretty cool.

Here's a quick and dirty Photoshop I did to demonstrate.

 

Looks like 2 front teeth!

 

how did you make the interior parts silver like that? aluminum spray paint? how about some racing stripes to dress the old girl up........

 

Well first I'd get rid of those silver and black stripes around the bottom they scream "I'M TRAILOR TRASH" and that you listen to Whitesnake. I think a bowtie right on the front nose like in the picture would look cool, I didn;t have time to really dress it up but this is cut off of Earnhart jr's nose of his nascar.

 

here it is on earnhart's car

 

Trust me you would like the fire extingisher just fine if you car ever caught fire. I could have lost my car to flames about 6mo ago had it not been for my extingisher. I got it for shows. Some judges give points for safty equip. Well mine was put in for shows. I never thought I would need it.

The car caught fire because some dumb mechanic thought he could replace an o-ring in the fuel rail with 2 smallers ones when he did not have one the right size. So eventually it leaked and the fuel hit the exhaust and poof flames.

It was odd we were in the car and Joe smelt a hint of gas as I saw some smoke. There was hardly any at all. I just had a feeling. We were stopped at a light. I said fire and he grabbed the extinguisher we had mounted the night before. I pulled the hood release and out we bailed. We got the hood open and there was just enough in the extingisher to put out the fire.

A few seconds later and it would have been a total loss. So I believe in them, no matter how stupid they look. I always have one in the car. In fact I went out and bought one for every car in the family the next day. I have to laugh at shows though when I see them mounted in trunks or under the hoods. They need to be where you can reach them.

Sorry to preach, but I have seen one too many cars burn on the expressway or seen the left overs in the junkyards.

Its important. If you don't have one get one.

 

Sorry I went off on a tanget. I thought it was important to say. Good for you for having one.

I like the seats by the way. They look very good. You got a really good price. I'm debating on whether I want to have mine redone in red & black or get 4th gen ones. I may get them mostly black with red piping. Still deciding. If I get the covers made and I install them it will be around $1000.00 (thats with some custom embroidery as well) So like I said you got a good price.

I'm not a fan of the louvers. I'm into the sleeker look, but they do serve a purpose, so there you go.

Polishing is a bear, but well worth it when you see the results. We attacked everything we coould in my engine bay. Really sets the car apart at car shows. Your engine bay looks good by the way, very clean.

 

hey man thanks alot, i try to keep the engine clean, and yea ive been polishing my rims more but i cant get em to come out right =( anyways yea fire extinguisher i dont htink look that gfood but it is definitly a must my ca alrdy ahd a electrical fire from my speakers so its worth the 60 bucks to have one, hey do u think i should put white or Silver heritage stripes on my car? or would it look dumb

 

I think stripes would look good.

Well you have the silver in the interior already, so I would say silver. Plus I think white is more common. So go with the less common, more original, silver.

We have been thinking about striping my boyfriend's blue 94 Camaro. It has a set of white 5 spoke rims and would get the white stripes.

 

So hurm, what do you have that gives you 375HP MR. 89 IROC-Z???

Seriously what mods, what are your times, that motor looks bone stock form the picture you posted.

 

Don't do Racing stripes or Heritage stripes, please. It's not that I don't like them, but everyone and their dog has them. Why not go for something different. You have a blue car (at least IrocKid does), so why not a GrandSport Corvette treatment? Here's my interpretation, I left the louvers blue for contrast. I also cut out the whole grille opening for a different look I know Redraif likes that custom stuff

 

Looks good. Let your imagination play. I think on things for quite a while, before I do them. Look around at others' cars. I agree on doing something different, but I'm the one who is out in left field when it comes to doing different stuff.

 

i think that the grand sport stripe looks good would that be too out of left field for a Camaro though? and if i did it wouldnt i need it in Silver since my interior is silver and my Stripe along the bottom of the car is silver?

 

Very nice car. I actually like the fire extinguisher. Usually the first thing that comes to mind is Rice, but it's not mounted on your A pillar for all the world to see, but it's in a more realistic spot.

 

Thanks Mark A Shields yea i thought that was a much better place to put it plus it glows when i put my 2 dark blue neons on that re under the dash on each side

 

Oh yeah, I'd get a B&M Megashifter or if you want to be a little diffferent a Hurst Dual Gate shifter.

 

sry mark i dont know what those are lol or what they do, i have an automatic by the way
