91 trans am conv. interesting paint schem

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872651620 Take a look at that, at first I thought it was just a shadow. I dunno if I like it or hate it. If it was my car no way I guess. Tell me what you guys think.

Hey...for $1525 (reserve met) with good looking paint job, although maybe not my favorite scheme, I'd take it in a heart beat. Funny I live in Fort Worth and have seen maybe 3 camaro convertibles besides mine and have not seen that one yet. Not too many decent 3rd gens around here.

well simular to what i want my camaro to look like. I put these stripes on this picture a while back. It has the too stripes across the hood, and the ground effects match the stripes. I like what the one i did looks like alot better.

I think if you repainted the hood all black (and removed the 2nd spoiler) it would actually look pretty nice.

The guy doesn't seem to know how eBay works. He states in his description that it "isn't a $4000 car" and that it is on their lot for $8500, yet at $1525 the reserve is already met. Then he states that he is considering offers on the car. So he's trying to sell the car on his lot while it's listed on eBay. How much would that **** you off if you ended up as the winning bidder for like $2500 and then find out he already sold the car? What a stroke.

It's very similar to a memer on these boards with that scheme.......

It's made to look like a hugh "PONTIAC" symbol on the hood........don't know if you guys noticed that........

It's different......

I usually like some crazy things, but I truly think that looks horrible. But the price seems reasonable so far, could be an easy fix and have a really nice vert out of it.

I could NEVER do anything like that to my baby!
