I don't like any of it. I don't like the front, back, paint, rims, mirrors, etc. Sorry, but IMO, that looks like crap.

Big purple Camaro--Worst. Episode. Ever.
Honestly the ugliest Camaro I've ever seen, with the exception of that quasi-vette rear-end with 8 (EIGHT!) exhaust tips on the star trek camaro thing.

front clip would look 100% better if it didnt have the opening between the head lights, over all its pretty nice, ground effects are sweet, I like the rear bumper, and I have heard that kind (import) mufflers, or big engines, actaully it was a big block done all muscle, not import-ish and it sounded NICE, very deep.
Swap the rims, paint it a solid color, fill in the one grill and I'd drive it.

I think I'm with CrazyHawaiian on this one. The guy had a few good ideas but didn't have the maturity to pull it off right. I think he was too easily influenced by what his buddies thought of as "cool" and looked at each modification as a seperate entity rather than looking at the car as a whole and polishing off details that effect a focused area as well as the entire car.

well...
i agree with jza and fyrelance...
but paint it a solid color, put some different rims on it, and fill in that center hole between the headlights, and i'd probably drive it.
i've seen a lot worse.
that yellow iroc is just sweet

Imagine it in solid black with 18" IROC rims, a black honeycomb grille in that center hole, the bottom 1 to 2 inches cut off the rear bumper, and 4thgen exhaust tips. Oh and regular mirrors or the "export" mirrors of SunTour fame.
Then fix up the annoying details like the gap between the hood and the nosepiece and lose the goofy grilles.

Yeah looks like all the modding they did to that front clip might have warped the fitment by the hood there. Looks like the gap on the front of my 90 rs. But I got that gap from hitting the wall going 30. LOL
I like where you're going Jza. I can see that car in my imagination and I think it would look awesome.

Someone said they were stock tail lights? They look like Supra lights to me... Maybe I read it wrong... Anyway you look at it, the owner has a ton of work into it, so credit is deserved. I put myself at the top of the "I don't like it" list, but the labor is cool, poor taste or not.

Hmmm...the front I consider to be okay...could have been better...the skirts kinda match because of its boxy shape. Although they werent really done all that good...hmmm..I love that rear bumper though. I was atcually gonna do that before but never got around to atcually doing it. ANd yea those rims and paint gotta go. I give him respect though for doing something different.

Definately not my cup of tea. If you are going to pay for a pricey paint job like that, you should at least paint the wheelwells. There is purple overspray on them. And if you are going to put it in a show, clean the tread of the tires. It draws your attention away from the paint. Just my opinion.
