I dont really like the rims either. I think they are too big. Other than that the car looks sweet.

Man that is sweet car....

Those HUGE stripes ruin it IMO, but the hatch and windshied are cool, and not to mention a nice interior and some nice 20 inch wheels.....

Just my .02, but i would like it alot better if it was all blue

A remote operated gas door is just sweet.....:hail:

Meh...in my opinion, it's a long shot from being the best third-gen Camaro I've seen. The cowl is far too large, as are the wheels - 20s is just too much. The stance looks kind of odd, as there are huge wheels, and as such the car remains quite a bit off the ground. The paint job is nice, but the stripes should be thinner such that there is more space in between them. The interior is pretty nice, but he should've changed the gauges.

Just my thoughts on it...certainly I appreciate the hard work that's gone into it, but it's just not my taste.

the wheels and stripes seem too big to me too, but the car is gorgeous ... and the lexan / fiberglass custom work is something to be admired.

definitely one of the nicer camaros i've seen.. but then again, he put in enough work to make it that way. good for him, he deserves it.

A for effort and i'd give him a + if the stock lookalike parts actually looked stock. overall it looks like a lot of hard work and i can't knock anyone for that. a few things that could be changed in my own opinion but it's nice to see different ideas.

i agree about the wheels and the stripes... too much. yet, beyond this, there are A LOT of sweet custom touches he did.... all his lexan work and the fiberglass rear deck... all looking close to stock. very sweet. the remote popping gas door so he doesnt have the little finger opening in order to keep that smooth look... very sweet as well... just a minor touch that follows with the theme of the car. oh, and that shaved cowl area! i dunno about you guys, but i certainly dont think that area is the best looking in the world, especially when the hood is up. all in all, very creative, original, and innovative imo.

I don't have to mention, that this guy did an EXCELLENT job. But in my opinion, i think he kills most of it with the white stripe over the toooooo big cowl hood, the fendergaps and the gts blackouts do the rest. What I mean is, most people will see the car only for a few seconds, when it is driving by, and they cannot see all the nice details. In such a situation, i focus on the paint, wheels, stance. Don't get me wrong, this is a great car, but not prefect IMO

I think these two just about sum up my opinion. The guy did an incredible job on the car, and even though there are a few things all of us think he could have done differently, you gotta give him credit for the amount of work he put into it and have it turn out looking as good as it does. Yeah, the rims are huge, he wanted something a little different and he got it.

He did a good job with the decklid, gas door, and windshield, but I'm not a big fan of those huge stripes or the huge hood- especially since there really isn't much done to the motor to back it up.

Personally, I:

don't like the wheels
don't like the stripes
don't like the hood

do like the mesh/grill instead of the vents in the door jams

And I admire all the hard work that's gone into it.
