Enjoy

 

looks pretty good. I'm kind of interested in how you did those door panels, they look good

 

Yeah,the door panels are very tight.Notice how they are COMPLETLY different from a normal camaro door panel.

As well check out the all red taillights.

 

yea, how'd you make those panels though?

 

I am sure you will catch some hate from the old schoolers and stock *****.... but I think your car looks amazing. You did everything right. I just love the look of a slammed thirdgen... that's the first time I've seen yours with the GFX installed. I didn't like the way it looked before.

If I had to give a criticizm... the door paint doesn't seem to match, but maybe it's just the metalic in the paint flipping.

 

man nice ride bro were did you get those door panels :hail:

 

the car is looking killer...i like the tail lights and the grill a lot and it being dropped, very nice

 

i like taililights, how u do that? did u use the candle apple paint? or whatever everyone was talkina bout?

 

dam that car looks sweet as hell, i wish i coul have mine on baggs, but she's up for sale. oh well thats why i got a bird.

 

much nicer with GFX

 

You're car is sweet man. Like they said the older pics w/o the GFX didnt look as cool. Now the car looks very very agressive. I get the feeling you're into the lowrider or sport truck scene like me (I'm into slammed trucks too). I love to see people into that kind of stuff go wild on a 3rd gen. Keep up the good work!!



:hail: Badass!!

 

unfortunately, whoever color matched your GFX and bumper to the rest of the car f'd up...

*edit

Doh.. just read it was temporary

 

everyone, he knows about his doors and front being discolored.

 

Thanx everyone!

Yes the paint i used was Spray on Transleuscent Candy Apple Red.3 coats with Glass Glossy Clear coat over top.Worked out very well.

And yes the door ,GFX , and nose are all in just temporary paint.Just gotta get me through summer till the REAL paint job comes.Not bad thought

 

Im thinking about putting in the Chevy style headlights of the 88-98 pickups.But instead put in the APC projector style meant for the trucks. I will do this once i figure out how the hell to mount them.They will run me $694 canadian for the pair.and then tax.

 

Like everyone else, i would like to know how you did the doors, what pieces did you use and from what car. Did you cover them your self or have a shop do it?

Nice job, the car looks great!

How is the ride with the bags?

 

Looks sweet. I'd also like to know about the door panels. What kind of inside handle is that and what was involved in retrofitting it? Same question with the armrest.

 

looks great man......really like it bagged......although sorry to say it aint a sport coupe anymore....but maybe since u changed all the stuff u dont mind....well looks good....keep up the nice custom work

 

They are Mazda handles and Honda accord armrests.Armrests were fairly easy to do,just some metal banging and a couple of new holes drilled.The handles were a bit more difficult,they are screwed into the door metal,but it had to be reshaped to allow the handle to appear sunked in.Also the metal rod that connects to it had to be shortened and relocated and rebent.

I got my upholstery guy to do it for me.I took some part in it but ive got to give him the credit.His name is Perry Cosgrove and own a shop called Buckets and Benches.

 

Nice ride. just one question. What kind of paint did you use to paint over the tail lights? I am really curious to know because I am interested in getting rid of that orange also.

 

Testor's candy apple translucent paint is what he most likely used to paint the taillights, search the boards for "taillight mod" and you'll get a bunch of posts on it

 

looks good! nice job...

 

What rims are those? Did they need any adapters?

 

They are Eagle Alloys Series 077 rimz.They are 18"X8" sizing and are wrapped in BFG's P225/40r18 Euro T/As.

The bolt pattern is actually 5 on 4 1/2 instead of 5 on 4 3/4 so they do have adaptors on them.

Remember...its not legal till its 18.....inches that is!

 

O so they bolted right up then with no modifications? How much did they run you? Where did you get them from? Looks like I might of found my new rims

 

they do have adaptors on them, i think you misread but they do look good

 

Dude you need to fix your exhaust tips. the driver side exhaust tip is much closer to the side of the car then the passenger side. It looks kinda funky. Other then that looks cool man.

 

Why the rksport sticker?

 

The GFX do make it look a lot better.

 

Hehe,hey all

Yes, they do have adaptors on the rims...other than that i have no problems at all with them.

Yes,i have noticed the exhaust tips like that...its kinda wierd...i think all factory exhaust is kinda offset like that cuz almost all camaros i take a look at...the right side exiting pipe i always a few inches mor inward than the other.When i put the new Flowmaster system on hopefully itll fix it.

The RKSport Sticker is actually the VERY first thing i did to the car!My older brother ordered a whole whack of stuff from them for his 99Z , he gsve me the sticker to put on.I will be taking it off very shortly...its knda gettin old.

Thanks Fyrelance, i dot think they make the car look A lot more agressive!

 

lol got alot of freinds that work at rksport. And a bunch that work at thier competitor socalstreettrends.com. *** i love living here!

 

Got any pictures of your console ? It looked different.

 

I like the look of the car alot, but I liked it better when it had the sport coupe nose and no ground FX, but it still looks good to me.

 

how did you do the front bags? is it a coil over setup or did you just put bags in the spring area? also why is the air tank placed above the gas tank did the pumps take up all the room in the well?

 

Nice..looks good. Scraping is cool

 

Ill post some pics of the console later today.Gotta go to work.
There air tank i have is too big to fit into the wheelwell of the car.Anything smaller than the tank i have would almost be useless.I can get 2 full front and back lifts out of this tank.
The front bags are just the same as the rear,bags in place of the coil using mounting cups.

 

the car looks sweet - very original with the door panels....i like

the rims are badazz too

the decal/sticker.......eh...loose it

the console does look pretty trick - cant wait to see a pic

that grille looks sweet - i got the same one

 

hey,put up some more pics of another project i just finished.
Check out the new headlights...
