About all thats left for exterior work is putting the IROC-Z decals back on the doors. I have them already but Im still undecided whether to put them on or not. I sort of like the sleak clean look.




Head on shot... Id love to edit this and put a thunderstorm with lighting striking behing it or something.




As always, tons of pics on my website.......

 

NICE..

thats downright MEAN looking!

 

my word!

that's awesome. nice wheels. nice car.

EDIT >> i was having trouble deciding whether or not to go with the clear side markers.. but your pics have made me decide in favor. thanks

 

NICE!:rockon:

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

holy cow!! your car looks amazing! I say leave the decals off

 

****ign awesome i ****in love it , great job . if i had a camaro i wish it would look that good. nice job, ps by the way how much did rims and tires run ya .

 

I was just starting to not like those wheels as much as I used to, and know they look beautiful. Your car is awesome! The clear side markers look great. I think if you leave the decals off or if you put them on, the car will look bad *** either way.

 

WOW :hail:

 

WOW!!!

 

Very Nice!!

 

That car is sweet! I saw leave the badges off. It looks so clean without them.

 

WOW Your car is freakin awesome:hail: :hail: :hail: Leave the decals off it looks cleaner.

 

i wonder how some black iroc-z decals for the doors would look. very subtle/stealth. hmm.

 

No man do nothing to that car i mean its one of the best ive seen That looks straight up mean as hell

 

That looks beautiful man. Leave it the way it is! :hail:

jaw dropped 1 of the baddest camaros i ever seen. Maybe if i ever redo my car ill paint it black next time.

 

Your car looks great!!!!


I say no decal, it is just sooooooo clean.

 

That Camaro looks bad ***. I love black Camaros done right. I would leave the IROC-Z decal off. The car has a smooth appearance to it.

 

Officially my favorite Third Gen...

Goddamn:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

well done, looks outstanding! :hail:

 

Thanks everyone. Its been a 5 year project and Im tickled at the nice responses... of course its a never ending project .

 

I like the wheels and your car.. the paint is awesome. I have a black car as well and seeing yours makes me want to get a fresh coat of paint. How much did it cost you for the paint job?

I would put the decals on, just the IROC decals, not the stripes. That would keep it clean, and looking like an IROC. It seems to be missing something without them. Thats what Im doing with mine

 

:hail:

 

Absolutely beautiful.:hail: :hail:

 

That is one bada** car. I LOVE IT!:hail: :hail: Leave the decals off! Lets see some engine shots!

 

I think the clear just blend in, where as the orange ones sort of stick out. I thought about just shaving them off but the clear turned out good.

 

I think the only thing I would do is put something in some sort of rfancy script on the side of the hood scoop. Something like "SuperRam 383". Make it look real fancy. With an engine like that you have to brag about it just a little.

nice man real nice. Leave the decals off. heres a pic of my z28 with the chrome ZR1's. these wheel sjust make our cars look mean.

 

looks beautiful!

 

Excellent looking car. I guess alot of us are fans of those wheels

 

Im considering something like this. Id hate giving away what lies under the hood though. Im not really into street racing, Id rather take it to a safe place like a dragstrip though.

 

Very clean car.
I'd say leave the decals off.

 

Wow, thats nice looking!! I agree that you should leave the decals off!:hail:

 

Leave the decals off

Car looks great, and how in the hell did you manage to get that SS Hood to fit so damn perfect...

 

*Goes to change his underwear*

That is one hella nice car!!!!!

 

did you use spacers or did you swap out the axle??

 

you cant just switch out the axles to get wheels to fit right. the only two options you have to get 4th gen wheels like the SS wheels to fit correctly on a 3td gen is to 1: use 4 adatpers or 2: use 2 front adapters and then swap out the 3th gen rearend and install a 4th gen rearend. I chose the 2nd option since I already a spare 4th gen rear lying around from an old car and its really not the safest thing to use spacers on the rear if you have some power and use it at the drags a lot. Ive sold my wheels already becuz too many guys have them and I dont feel comfortable using spacers on the front of my car. It puts too much stress on the wheels bearings by pushing the center of the wheel out past the hub.

 

How much would a rear axle of a 4th gen camaro cost??

 

do a search on ebay or camaroz28.com and see. id say between 200 and 400 bucks.

 

Awsome car dude.:hail: :hail:

 

Looks great! Can't go wrong if you put the letters on, but I think you should leave it the way it is. Looks mean!

 

Ahh dug up an old thread... yeah, I swapped in a rear axle from a 2001 SS Camaro. Reason #1 was to get rear disc brakes and of course it helped with my wheel selection. I really like the ZR1 style and the 10 spoke SS style so having a rear that made those fit right was cool. I did put spacers on the front. (polished them up of course ).

Many people are regular road racers and use spacers with no problems. I don't see why some people are scared of them. Ive checked my tourqe twice since the initial install and mine are fine.

 

I'm saving up for a 4thgen 12 bolt to run the 17x11's with-out having to use spacers.

 

will 17x11 fit with out modifying the fenders

 

its not that Im worried about the lugs coming loose onmy spacers, its the fact that they put so much stree on the wheel bearings.
as for a 11" wheel fitting in the rear with a 4th gen rear, Ihave no clue. You might have to break out the trusty BFH

 

I really love the looks of the wheels on the car. I have been looking at them for a while now and I am going to get a set of black rims instead of chrome. Just one question though, what did you guys have to do to get the ZR1 wheels to fit on the car? I am going to go with the 17x9.5 wheels. Any help from anyone would greatly be appreciated.

 

someone brought this back from the grave!

 

3 months isnt exactly grave yard

 

Speechless...:yourock: Jaw open

That car looks bad ***! :hail:
