Car: 1989 IROC-Z
Engine: 383 stroker
Transmission: 700R4 3500 stall, TransGo shift kit
Axle/Gears: Moser 9", 4.11:1
I like:
The color
The rims
The 91/92 Camaro side ground effects
The hood and wing

I don't like:
Blue window tint
Blue windshield banner
Blue side markers

I suggest:
Lose the windshield banner
Tint the windows black
Clear side markers
350 to back it up, or at least a well modded 305.

Hope that helps

as long as you are talking about doing the orange car... There are a few things such as the banner and blue window tint that I do not care for...but it is your car so you do whatever you want with it.

I like everything on the car except everything previously mentioned, and i dont care for the black things on the front bumper, i like how 86 has his instead. But the best part of the new mods is good bye to that ugly center stripe!

Looks good in the new pic. Are you going to keep your nose? I think it looks better with the newer nose and just adding those black things, if you have to have them. The older nose with them doesn't look as good, IMO.

Just remember, its YOUR car, YOU have to drive it so do what YOU want

Blacked out side markers, why didn't I think of that

Yeah, I think those would look good. And about the rims, he has 16s on his, I would get 17s and lower it.

thanks u guys for all your imput, so far i estimated all the parts (excluding the engine install, already have the engine) to be about $1,100... and the paint job an extra 2,500.

right now i got $1,000.... and am in the process of suing the guy that painted my car for $2,500 because he F'ed it up a lot and what he said he would fix is not fixed. so hopefully i will win this case

That's a really good idea tou have there. I hope you have a v8 to back up that aggressive look. If you have a V6, you would be wasting your money, unless you really love your car.
