I don't like the wing, the headlights would look really awesome if they filled the area more, but other than that, the car loooks pretty good.

 

Keepin evil spirits away, I see.

 

Very sweet ride man, except like many people, I do have to disagree with the wing. Still, the car as a whole looks really slick, some major improvements there. Now get some major performance goodies to back the aggressive look up!

By the way, what tips do you have on there? They look pretty sweet...

 

the car looks nice, but i agree with most everyone else, i hate the rims. the wing is OK i guess, doesnt look that bad on that car. And the tips....someone needs to break them off so u can get some new 3" outlet 24" long chrome tips.... also that grill looks like it doesnt quite fit the car, same as the headlights, they need something around them so they fill the hole more.

 

Hi FLYNLOW.
Excellent job all the way!! Wing included.

If your car ever cruised the roads in the UK it would blow peoples heads off!! Awesome man. Congratulations on a superb job. You must be real proud.

Good luck with the car.
Andy.

 

When do you plan to install the brakes? And do you plan to install rear drums at all.

All of your money and work has paid off. Very very nice car.

 

You do have probaly the nicest camaro on here. I would lower the car i didnt see anything about a drop on it but i think that would make it absolutely perfect. I remeber the disturbing pics of when yuo were doing the shaving and vent installs, come along way good job.:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

I like the entire job. As far as everone talking about the wing, I think that is because most people associate it with a "honda", but what a lot of people forget about wings are they first started coming on cars like the superbird. A long cry from a honda and I am pretty sure not to many people would disagree with a 426 hemi.

I'm glad someone is finally putting rear wings where they belong; on a rear wheel drive car!

Sweet ride man love the fenders. What kind of wheels are those?

Almost everything on this car is extraordinary. But for me, nothing looks extraordinary good. In this case less would be more. But that's just my opinion

 

Just got done today......

 

I installed the DropZone Lowering springs, I haven't measured it yet, but they are about a 1 - 1.5" drop....

 

Sweet car! Love the headlight mod! The only thing that looks a little odd to me are the rims, but they fit the overall look of the car. Great job!

 

Gr8 job dawg! I like da rims and da paint. BUT, i think da wing is overkill. I usually see those on ricers. Overall i like da car!

 

that **** is sweet

 

Yeah its like the vents should be slanted the other direction

 

the car looks better than before with the lowering springs and the clear signals.

 

I must admit, you've brought it all together. I basically like it all except, like many others - the wing, although it does look better without the stock spoiler. The wheels aren't really my taste either, but they are growing on me.
Now - I'm done nitpicking and I've got to tell you that I fully appreciate the time and effort you have in your car. I can't imagine how I would find the time to do that.
Overall, it works, IMHO, it's just not what I would have done.
Oh, one dumb question - where are your parking lights?

 

That's just too much.

 

Awww... Flynlow, those poor brakes look lost in there! You need some bigger rotors my man. Great job on all the work. If you find something to make the headlights look a little bigger, I'd say do that. And put the body side moldings back on.

My philosophy: if you're gonna shave the car, shave everything except gfx. No SS hood, no fender vents, no badges, etc etc. But if you're gonna bulk up the car, don't just do it to the front half of the car!

All in all, Ii'm still jealous.

 

Here are mine....going to paint it next weekend. Anyhow, the car turned out great! You have a ton of money invested in it and it looks like the work has paid off. If anyone wants to see anymore pictures of my fender louvers, go here: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...56#post1341656

 

Ahhhh...much better

 

so what's she run in the 1/4?

 

LOL, Let's not get into that....

It looks agressive, but looks are very deceiving.....I have a 305 TBI under the hood....

Don't worry, I'm starting to save up for the 350 Swap, although i plan to stay TBI, I'm gonna add some go-fast goodies....., so hopefully by then it can back up some of it's looks......

 

how much did all that stuff cost to buy/have installed?

 

how much did all that stuff cost to buy/have installed?

 

ugh the word tbi and fast dont belong togather!

How much did you pick that hood up for, I want to pick mine up very soon, expecially seeing how it looks on another teal car

 

where did you get that grill????? or did you custom make it???

 

Let's just say it was enough to buy another thirdgen, or buy my car again........I don't have exact figures, but anything in specific you want to know about??

The billet grill is from www.godfathercustoms.com

The hood is from www.americansportscar.com and it cost me $460, but i believe they have gone up in price since i got mine....

 

i noticed somethin you should paint your wiper arms (black tho)

 

I like the fender vents very cool touch.

 

Ha, I can't believe you actually did it. I didn't know if you would actually go through with the 2ndgen scoops. Nice to finally see it done. It still looks a bit large, but I think it looks cool, not too mention the Silverado headlights, Billet Grill, and SS hood. I'm still not all that keen on the wing, but overall I think it looks sharp.

 

Nitrous purge outa the vents!

 

I like how in 2 fast 2 furious he had the nitrous purge come from under the front bumper on the sides. It looked like a bull snortin it was sweet.They actualy had some american cars also a nice SYC 69 camaro. It was an ok movie i guess alot of it was a little unreal.

 

Yes with any custom work...it does set you back...I could have totally bought another 3rd gen for what is in mine. Heck 3 if we had not done 90% of the work ourselves... But that is just because they are getting so affordable now.

Post did not post, dang it... try # 7

Love the car! Looks awesome! Now you have to bring it up to Atl so I can see it!

Headlight mod, oh yeah! Totally rocking! And it looks so good w/o the side moldings. Lave them off. W/o them it really accentuates the fact that the car is shaved! Looks so smooth!

 

Hey- I know you posted this years ago, but I'm trying to find a plug for my antenna on the passenger side fender, because I don't listen to the radio- and I think it'd look better with no antenna, and that hole capped off. I have an '85 IROC with a power antenna. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks. Paul pansuini@rochester.rr.com

 

wtf

 

good job.. like everyone else says, those rims are killing it.. you also should have painted behind the fender scoops black.. no one wants to see the frame.. but all in all, looks good..

 

Dont like the wheels, the rest is pretty cool.

Those wheels are more showcar wheels, I like wheels (And styling elements in general) that look like they belong on a racecar. Just a personal taste thing. Well-done car. I like it a lot, even the wing looks good if you ask me. It woudln't look too out of place on a race car, so I'm a fan.

I'd rather have some chrome SLP-ZR1s, or something like this on there:




So as you can see, we obviously just have different opinions on style. But I've got nothing but respect for you and your car. Great job.

 

i prefer to let 4 yr old threads rest in piece, but i guess that's just me...nothing wrong with flipping through the archives to get some ideas, but the man isn't even around anymore to receive your praises.

...this is what happens when nuggets get hold of a search feature that finally works, haha. whatever, i'm going to bed.

 

lol i just realized this thread was four years old.

 

Yeah, I am going to lock this thread... there is no need to keep commenting on a car that, iirc, burnt to the ground, though if I am wrong on that someone PM my and I'll edit this post.
