Looks good! Ditto on the blue stuff. Slap a set of Iroc or other rims on there and you will be set.

The blue isn't that bad, at least it isn't yellow.

i like my blue stuff. it adds color to a rather gray and black area. those blue plug wires are the whole reason i have it. it looked funny with just the blue plug wires so i added the blue stuff to even it out.


where can i get new bottles? i have wanted to but cant find any in decent shape.

Dude, go to the gmpartsdirect.com site. Nothing there costs a fortune compared to the dealer. Stuff is usually much cheaper from them delivered to my house than it is from the local dealer.

For instance... I was quoted $28 for a coolant overflow tank from the local dealer. gmpartsdirect, less than 10 bucks delivered.:hail:

These #'s are for birds but I believe the Camaro's have the same numbers but don't hold my feet to the fire on that.

Dark metallic blue on top with silver ground effects. Then polish rims.

Sort of like this one:

Awesome car!!! Silver looks so good on third gens.
I think new parking lights, clear side blinker lights, and tinted windows are a few small things that could make that car look even better. As far as big things maybe paint the whole car silver instead of two tone, chrome iroc wheels, or polish/chrome plate stuff in the engine bay. Just my 2 cents.
I can't decide if i like the blue wires though but hey it's your car do what you want to it! It's a sweet car thoough

im going to get my car repainted the same silver eventually. just straight silver not the 2 tone. my car has been repainted and the iroc rims were trashed and gotten rid of for some reason. no door decals after the repaint for some reason. missing dash emblem too so im trying to bring it back to the iroc status from factory. i dont know why someone mutualited it like this but i like the special paint on it and as soon as i get it repainted im going to put the iroc decals back on. hopefully i will have a ton of mods by next years third gen nationals. i found those coolant bottles and i am going to buy them this weekend after i go get my carpet, door panels, and headliner. all the interior inside is in crappy shape as far as dirt. it has been set in so long i cant get it out so i found someone who is going to hook me up with the doorpanels carpet and headliner for 70. anyone that has an iroc dash emblem they can hook me up with cheap email me a price. slow process but i will reclaim my car's iroc beauty eventually. anyone that can help with parts email me too i have a list thats about a notebook page long so hook me up guys

I have two comments for ya:

1) Don't ever get rid of it!!
2) If you decide to get rid of it, I'll take it for free!!

Nice car by the way, I like the silver color! I'd keep the blue, it's what you like and I also agree it looks real good. Keep up the good work and drive safely!

Thanks, Joe E.
