We all know that we don't like it. Some people just have different tastes, like you Iroc2nv. The owner decided to make his Camaro into a pimpmobile, which by pimpmobile standards is pretty cool, but to us it is just a Camaro gone horribly wrong.

I like your body kit Iroc2nv, because you don't see it on thirdgens and it is different than stock style ground effects. I love seeing cars with custom bodywork or panels. I can't talk too much either since my front and rear bumpers are a bit contraversiall with plastic mesh in place of the bumperettes on a Firebird. I don't have pics of it yet.

What's with the wedding motif? Anyways, I don't like it either, but it did give me a few ideas. Here's some things to look at gentlemen, if you can keep an open mind.

Notice how he covered the inside hatch panel? Look up at the hatch. That velvet plush stuff is covering that little panel. I like the idea. Maybe some extra carpet pieces to cover it. I also like the new finish he added above the rear taillights.

The color of the car is just awesome, minus the gold trim and the roof. I'm also somewhat intrigued by the job he did on the front nose. The custom cut outs. I'm undecided on that, but it's different, and somewhat appealing.

I also like that he covered the stock e-brake handle, and shifter ****, even if I don't like the fact that he used sequins.

I noticed that stuff too, but I forgot to post it. I also have cutouts on my nose, but they are 4 vertical slots. They have zero functionablility, but they look kind of cool to me.

The paint on the door looks great.. this is where the good stuff ends and the bad stuff begins...

Not sure it's a wedding car, looks like something Elvis would be travelling to his grave in.... That sucks.

I dont think that is really rice, I used to work in a customs body shop doing all kinds of lowriders (thats all we did) a true lowrider is not rice, I have seen that car at alot of lowrider shows and frankly that car gets more attention than alot of cars nicer than that the reason why... its unique

I have worked on alot of nice cars all with the same concept in mind... show car! nothing more.
for anyone who may read or look through Lowrider magazine
august 2002 issue, volume 24, PGS 62, 63, 64 the car is a 73 impala called public nuisance owned my my X boss Larry Kennedy
alot of people may think that is rice but it is actually alot of hard work and someones pride and joy, I dont think alot of people understand what amount of work goes into these cars
but thats just my .02

there are a few people on here that don't have room to talk; i for one like the unique ideas and in it's class i think it belongs........while i may think doing such to a camaro proves to be not only a waste of money but the wrong platform i definately feel that it fits within the range of the style it's trying to emulate.

too many of you are so quick to discourage people from unique ideas; i'm sure there is something that each and everyone of us has done to our cars that someone would ask why.... at least he picked a color.

"A car is an extension of one's personality"

I had an old guy tell me that once when he was commenting about my car and i think that's the best advice when it comes to custom cars..........

its wet sanding and buffing that makes the finish look so good, a good wet sanding and buffing using machine glaze buffing compound, and micro finishing compound than hand rubbed finishing glaze will make a car look wet and shiny like a well cut diamond 3M makes very good products for this type of finishing

The interior just blows my mind, its way too fem. As for the body the cutouts are alright, rather have it how it was originally but its alright. If the gold wasnt around the wheel wells and the vinyl top the car would look really sharp even having gold wheels. I like the spoiler and would like to see more pics of it as pardon me stated earlier. Ive always wanted a 91-92 z28 spoiler but with no middle post in it, but I think that one is an arch that ive seen a couple of times on some fourthgens.

Re: ugliest ride ever

Just curious as to whether anyone else has some pics of "regular" Camaros with phantom tops on them... I'm thinking that they are probably not going to tickle my fancy, however... Like I said, I'm curious.

Thanks.

That is the sickest thing I have ever seen. I don't have anything against someone customizing their car but this is totally out of my taste and probably everyone else in the world except for that person. What ever floats their boat I guess.
