My New Paint Job :)

I just got my car painted i think it looks pretty good it looked like crap before i got it painted it was like 10 different colors. It cost around 700 dollars to get it painted i think it was worth it.

i don't think its a stock spoiler for camaros, they had either the 3 poice spoiler that looked like an extension, or the 91-92 high rise, and the one in your pic doesn't look like either. interesting though. could you get more pics from the back?

yeah early '88 SCs got the wing and later went to the 3 piece.I don't think that convertibles got them-just sport coupes.

Looks a lot better. I usually don't like two tone, but red with black ground effects looks pretty good. What kinda engine do you have?

Right now its the stock 305 with a few mods that i have done to it nothing special. Planning on putting either a 350 or a 383 in it and the hood said 4 inches when i got it but the sticker said that it was five inches so im not really sure i got the hood from www.up22.com.

Nice looking paint job. Though the black gfx aren't my thing.

A high perf 383 would suit that hood so very well indeed.

Well done 88 C4m4r0.
