Ditch the wheels and it will give your car a more "custom" look IMO. Overall, i really like the way your car came out man. Too bad they did not burn your spoiler too! J/K with ya, its just not my taste, thats all. So...you ever find those bastards and put their ***** in a door jamb and slam it shut??
I vote for a 91-92 z grille, 91-92z spoiler, and some different rims and your car would be the envy of alot of people.
of course... this is my opinion.... so take it w/ a grain of salt.

Love the SS hood and the headlight conversion. Not so sure about the rest. It's your car and obviously you work hard to keep it clean and looking nice so that should be respected.

it is somone elses, stock car has t-tops the flyinlow mobile does not,
1, that confersion would require alot of work.
2. no one would go from t-tops too hardtop, there is no point.
BTW flyinlow: although i am a fan of "stock" "stealth" and subtle" i love what you have done, i would not do any of it to my car, but i gotta giv you thumbs.looks sweeeet keep up the good work. you are the envy of alot of us TGO-ers and EVERY ri(er

They are two different cars, except his is completely stock, someone from work......
I'm done with the exterior body mods on the car, i think anything more would be overkill, so now i'm try and concentrate on the engine as money allows......which basically means an engine swap cause i'm not gonna try and work on this 305 TBI

All that's left is the paint, which will have to wait, because i'm working to pay for college in the fall, hopefully the paint will be done within the next two weeks......
You may notice that i left out the picture from the other side, mainly because that area looks horrible....
Let me first say that I love your car and all the hard work you've put into it has really paid off. The car has a unique look that flows well together. However myself I am the type to walk softly and carry a big stick if you know what I mean. When ever I get the urge to mod my car I always think to myself: "How would this look on a '69 Camaro?" Then I think that these 3rd gens are becoming more rare by the day. Then I think in 10 years there will be ever fewer left, and the nice ones that haven't been all cut up or modded beyond return will be worth more money and hold their value.
I know its not all about value either. But thats what I think. What does a '69 Z28 cost these days? The cleaner the more $ you spend on one.

Great work buddy. I think the headlight conversion is awesome, and I love that custom grille. Looks great man, and I'm not gonna give you any crap about the wheels or the wing cuz you've gotten enough already
Keep it up.

If you measure everything in monetary value then collect stamps, these are cars, which in my personnal opinion are a direct link to your personality. So mod away.
(the images are linked, dont worry)

i applaud all your hard work and deication to your project...its not my taste, but its tastefully done..
looks good man!!
yea and i think that these guys would stop rippin on ya once you drop in a 406 or somethin
i like your car alot, but the rimz dont go right with it> try photo chopping some next ones i bet it would make it look even better.
also i think just a normal high rise spoiler would look better. one question how come u did not put the gills in the fender like the imports rather then the vents? (thats what i am gunna be doing in a couple weeks) but that s my taste> so did things work out good with the trying to blow up your ride issue

I like the one on the left more. truthfully i think the one on the right would fit better with imports than american muscle cars and other camaros. The one on the right doesnt have the muscle car image anymore compared to what the stock has, though the SS hood on it would fit great on the stock maro
