I don't like the spoiler... the hood looks alright on black cars so I'll decide if I like it when its painted.

has potential, lose the spoiler (at least get it to look better like mentioned)... get it painted... nothing too crazy I would not go stripes... solid color if I were you.

some paint, fix the spoiler (or ditch it) and some IROC 16's or some 91/92 Z28 16" wheels polished would make the car look great. Maybe even drop it 1.5" with the Eibach Sportline kit.

lol at the blockin the road comment.

actually me and my cuz pushed it out of the driveway into the street to take the pics. we only blocked the road for a minute. lol

really dont like the spoiler? ive had good comments on it but i guess it makes a diff in person. should i move it up a few inches? would that improve the appearance? thanks for the comments keep em coming.

so the back of the spoiler aligns with the back of the hatch part....
i think that is what they mean.....it looks like it sticks out farther then the tailights...

well the wing isnt lined up with the back of the hatch the pedestals are and the wing is about 6 inches wide so it sticks out to the back.

oh about the valve stems... i meant the machanic himself, stole the caps (i saw them on his car). i wouldnt have minded as much if it was another customer, but im not gonna fight over 2dollors of chrome.

yeah the front it high.... i got a donor car so everything u see on my car is from that car the hood, wing, rear end(i swapped the rear end) and other parts that will be changed later(bumpers fenders and other stuff) well when we pulled off the rear end from the donor we realized it had springs that lowered it, dont know what brand, so we put those in the back. shortly after the engine went out so we didnt get to install the front springs. so the front looks higher.

i love my car it looks ghetto fab!!

I say lose the spoiler as well. And I don't care for the wheels at all. But looks like with a paint job, you'll have one nice ride.

The hood is a little dated for me, but at least it looks better on Camaros than it does on firebirds. The spoiler looks a little awkward, but I would not get rid of it. It would probably look better once you get your car painted.
