I think that car is sweet. I also agree that the flames on the front clip just don't really seem to fit, but I love everythign else. I especially like the way the flames go around the cowl.

Looks more "tribal" than flames to me. Pretty sweet though.

I like the car! Maybe if he added some blackouts over the headlights, then the flames could be continued.

But it looks good as is to me.

It looks tasteful to me. Way too flashy for me to drive (My GTA gets enough stares as it is), but I like the paint. I'm not sure about the rims though.

I don't see anything wrong with it.... but like Mark said, theres somthing about the Grafix on the Front Clip... they just don't look right (I think its because they dissapear and don't line up). But other wise I don't really see whats wrong with it.... I'd drive that any day of the week (If I wasn't already driving my car that is )

Hey biker, what ever happened to the deal with your new engine. Did they make good on the deal or what? Just curios.

I think that car's pretty sweet. He needs to get rid of the front license plate though.

my fav thing about that car is the seat covers. i have the same ones. the car looks amazing. i like the whole tribal and not flames thing. I might have to do ghost tribal instead of flames. EXTREAMLY NICE CAR. it is better to be different then be the norm. normal people are boring.

hey thanks for asking
i just picked the Car up yesterday
total price $4,200
jiffy lube wrote me a check for $3,000
would of had it a few weeks ago but i changed my mind and told the dealer that i wanted a 350 instead of a 305.
then when the engine came in the mechanic that was working on it got sick a few days, then when they put the engine in the car started running hot they thought it was one thing but then it was another.
i'd say the car was down for a total of 5 weeks really only a week and a half they were under the hood.
it's a Ac Delco reman 350. guy says it would be identical to a L98
if feels like it too. I havn't gone out and dogged it yet, but i want too. but first i want 500 miles to breack it in, and SFCs
total give and take was
$2,700 for the engine w/2yr 24K warrenty
$1,000 for labor
$400 for odds and ends
$100 tax and stuff

later
happy biker

I think that car looks sweet. Take off the flames, and I'd say thats one of the nicest looking Irocs I've ever seen. I do think it needs one style ground effect though. Not the 91/92 style on the front and the Iroc style on the side, but thats just my opinion.

And o yeah, what are you doing on here anyway TurboXT. Last time I checked, this was a Third gen f body forum, not a Turbo Dodge forum. Sure there's some Mustang guys and even a few import guys on here, but they come here to learn about our cars, not to put them down. You get no respect from me, get a life.

Couple more weeks, hes good on it, I know the guy well, he's just being really slow, He's a cop by day, and at night does engines, he's cutting me a "at cost" break and one of the weeks a racing engine that the guy over-reved by 2 grand came back in siezed and that was a 10k job so he gladdly took that for that week over mine. Atleast that one he made money, instead of doing it for cost.

people that say the car looks beter with out the flames then the car just turns into another 3rd gen with a "very good" paint job
2" cowl and 18" IROC rims.
also if you look car has a front nose of a 91-92 but chrome 85-87 IROC rims.
