someone rip your wing off? dunno looks weird with out the wing, always lookin at your car havin the wing and then its gone, now its weird. looks good still.

edit: put a 91-92 z28 wing on there and it would look killer with the lights, hood, and fender vents.

The wing was taken off to re-seal the back with some more rust proofing......also put some new bolts in there becaues the old ones were about 2 years old.....

Another low-angle shot....

I agree. I'd put a 91-92 style wing on there. That would look tight as hell.

I like the ascd hood, billet grill and clear markers..personally if it were me i'd go w/different rims, and maybe the 91/92 spoiler..but w/out the wing in my opinion is an improvement

I like it off (i never thought i would like any camaro with it off) but i think a fourthgen spoiler (like deadbird's) would really look sweet on your car maybe it's the combo of the hood and side scoops or something but it just seems to fit your car i'll try to photoshop one on in a few

Put a wing back on there.

Don't take that to be approval of your current wing....it's just that our cars NEED a wing to look right. The bookshelf back there is just too big without a wing of some sort.

even though it's a horrible chop it just seems to flow with your hood and scoops but don't get it from the company deadbird got his from if you decide to do it get it from hawks he just finished his mold and he will work with you to make it right



and maybe a set of these rims (in the dark charcoal) while you're at it all the chicks would be like

IT'S NEKKID!!!!! Holy toledo is so bare! I dug wit da spoiler! A 91/92 spoiler would look natural, a 4th gen Trans Am spoiler would be pretty stinkin' killer, and lastly, the old one looked great too

BTW; Here's a little choppy choppy of some rims & emblems for ya (I was curious!) - Love the car homie, always have always will.

i think it looks sweet with no wing.

not that i have all that much against your wing.. at least its the same color as the car, laf.

i've liked wingless f-bods since i saw Zepher's video of him doing a big burnout in front of his house in his multicolored wingless trans am.

With the wing it looks like a show car. People can walk up to the car and go hey that car looks really cool/nice and it kind of has the wholesome appeal to it. Now without the wing i think your car looks like its pissed off as hell and wants to kick someones ***...looks totally bad ***.

Personally I never liked your ride till these shots.
A 3rd gen bird wing is a must for your car. It flows well with your other mods.
Those rims have got to go too.
Sell them and that wing to a honduh enthusiast.
Other than that, it's so fresh and so clean. big up

I think the wheels go with the spolier. If you put some nicer wheels on there(like I think you said something like a year ago you were going to ) it would look better without the spolier but the seem to be an ok combination if you like it.
Otherwise, I dont care what wheels or spoiler you have , cause your car looks all badass from the front:hail:

Well it seems there are a lot of mixed reactions to the spoiler being gone.........

If you put some nicer wheels on there(like I think you said something like a year ago you were going to )
As many of you know plans take forever to come to life.......I plan on getting a 4th Gen rear in the near future (summer or fall 04), So the rims will have to be changed...

As TPIroc has already shown, It will be the Z06 wheels that are more then likely gonna be put on the car, unless i find something better in the meantime.....

The Neeper Synchro's are only temporary, I don't like the fact that they are WAY too open.....

Anyone want to photoshop a 4th Gen wing on there, I'm getting interested to see how it looks......

No offense, but your car was hideous with that wing on there.

It looks better now!

The IROC 5 inch spoiler and the Chrome Z06's would do that car ALOT of justice! You are heading in the right direction! Congrats!

Just my $.02

I actually like it with no spoiler at all, but thats probably cause i didnt like the one you had on there. a 5" would be cool and still look diff instead of a z or something. I like tpi's photoshop of the wheels and emblems...it was missing some little horizontal silver stripes on the ground effects tho.. ; )

I love the headlights and grill on the front, and I agree a 91-92 Z28 spoiler would look perfect on that car! I don't personally like the rims, but then I'm insanely picky about rims.

I love how you've added a ton of mods without giving the car a "pussyish" look like most ricers are sporting these days. Keep it up!

see the thing is with the stance your car has it looks amazing without the wing. I love the stance actually looks aweomse with the back end being a litle higher then the front and it sloping down....all it needs is some bigger rims to fill in a little more of the wheel well's...and im not sure what id do with the wing situation....i wouldnt put a stock one on because it wouldnt fit with the rest of the car too custom, where as i wouldnt put the one on you had before either because that one is just not to my taste....

Those 4th gen SS wheels look nice, but I'd go with some else simply because you see them on a lot of other third gens on here. Your car is really customized, you need rims and a wing to match that.

18" chrome Z06s, a 3 piece wing, or no wing, and that thing would look unbelievable.

I was thinking the same thing.

California IROC's (not RS's) have to be black IMHO anyways. I have gotten used to that wing over time, but I think it looks better without. The wheels arent that bad (better than stock anyways) but the Z06's look amazing on there. Love the hood. The grill I'm not too fond of. But its your car not mine.

Keep us informed.
