personally I love it. That daytona hood makes it look mean especailly with the blackouts that match the paint perfectly. I could live without the iroc stickers. But I gotta give you credit for leaving you louvers on and posting here . It works on your car, but I have a feeling a lot of others won't agree. Clean and tight! nice man.

Don't like the headlight blackouts, (they aren't on right, supposed to be flush with the pockets) rims, louvers, and aftermarket IROC-Z stickers. Otherwise it would be nice, some polished IROC rims or TT2's would really change the look.

I don't like those rims at all, some five spoke rims would help a TON. The IROC stickers are kinda tacky. Normally I don't like that hood, but it black its not as bad. And I'm not a big fan of the rear window louvers either. But, you just bought it so you have time to change it. What are your plans for it?

You need to fix the headlight covers and lose the rear window louvers. Other than that, I'd say it's a sweet ride.

Very nice looking. It has that brute look to it.

However, removing the rear louvers and headlight covers will make the car look even better.

Now, I'm just being honest here, this is just my PERSONAL opinion.

The IROC there, in present form, looks like a car that was modified a LONG time ago and then never modified again. The paint however is one exception to this rule - It looks great.

However, as I said, it looks in need of a make-over. What are your plans?

I would replace the wheels ASAP! A set of 5 spokes would look sweet on there! Not only that, but I'd say, to most of us those 3 spoke wheels look like they're screaming right out of the late 80's, early 90's.

I'm not really against louvers on an all-black car, so its your choice there.

The hood - some people love it - I'm on that hates that particular hood. It is a very old design. Again, its your choice, I'd prefer a more modern style.

I'd lose the headlight covers - Nothing wrong with them, they're just not my taste... They don't fit the Camaro at all IMHO.

I'd get some more aggressive "IROC" decals on there. The classic IROC-Z decals were really nice. Straight and to the point - Nothing fancy there.

I'd say this: There are generally two kinds of 3RDGEN owners out there; Those that want to make their car look new with a more modern style and then there are those that love the old school, 70's and 80's look. Any modifications you make should reflect what YOU want.

I will say this though - People often see 2nd and 3rd gen F-Bodies and say "*******"... Again - Something to consider when modifying your car. Even though its my car and I can do whatever I want with it, part of the fun of owning my car and modifying it is having other people, no matter what age go, wow - That's a nice car. I want the r1cer's to look at it and say, nice IROC and I want the older generations to look at it and say, I love the car, reminds me of my youth..... or something to those effects.

Again, please don't take offense to this. My post was mearly a suggestion for your car. I in no way, shape, or form intend to insult you or anyone else with my post.

The car looks fine, except for the big ol' dent in the door. Just swap wheels and it'll look amazing.


Oh yeah, do something about those iroc stickers heh.
