this is a crappy question, it looks exactly like every other clean third gen out there. Can't give it more then a 5 because its completly stock appearance wise. In terms of just having a clean ride its around a 7.

i'll give you my honest opinion...since you asked.
I hate the rims, they look like the same ones the "homies" in my town spray paint gold and put on their suburbans so they can cruise town at 10mph on the highway.
I think the car is very clean, but i absolutely detest the side molding, it's not just your car, it fuglifies every car it was ever put on, i'm yet to see any exception.

I thought all 3rd gens had that side molding... weird.
I think it looks good, I like the way the foglights look with the white car.
The tint also looks great with a white car.
The rims... well, I just don't like them. Maybe on a different car, but I don't think they compliment the car or something; I just can't put my finger on it.

my 2 cents worth....
I am gonna have to give it an 8. I think its a really clean looking car. Looks like it has been taken very good care of. But, I will have to agree I dont really care for the wheels either. Remember that each of us are different and this is your car, If you like the wheels then thats all that matters.

Umm, 1-10? that's hard to say. I like it though. I'm not sure if that's the grass or the darkness of the picture (bad video card at school), but it looks lowered, which is good. I am on the bandwagon with not caring for the wheels either.
I have different side mouldings. I won't rob your post, but go to my website (www at the bottom) to check out the factory ones on my camaro.

I like the 88-92 Side molding on all the third gens.....now...the 82-87 side molding...that's a different story. The 82-87 side molding were very thin, have a rough texture....and didn't have much contour to the car. The 88-92 style are thicker, smooth, and come more to a point. I agree that it looks like a nice 3rd gen...not heavily modded...but it looks nice. I'm glad to see a few stock third gens (besides your wheels) that are clean and are taken care of. I give it a 7....don't get me wrong...there is always room for modding though

I actually like the earlier door molding more than the later one. But I think none at all is probably better.

you guys are harsh.
If the paint's as good as it looks in the pic (stock?)...I give it a 7 out of 10. The wheels are something not all thirdgens change - and it's a welcome change. Cmon people...they're not wire Daytons. And I don't mind side moulding....they've saved my doors more tims than I can count.
Keep up the good work and happy thirdgening.

I continue to dislike the side moulding, all styles, all years, i don't argue that it's functional, i just can't stand it, i don't have a problem with anyone that does, i wanna make sure thats clear, i don't wanna start any arguments, it's just my opinion

I love white thirdgens more and more. There is one at school here that i think just looks so sharp. Anyways, yours looks great but I have to agree with everyone that hates those wheels. The stockers are so much better.

IMO and i bet youd disagree but chrome looks like *** and is a totally out of date process. Go with polished aluminum it looks 100X better

I dissagre, pollished aluminum looks like crap, I have had some and they end up looking like the gray inside of a soda can if you don't pollish them ever other day. I will be going with chrome or just regular gray painted wheels in the future.
Edit: personaly I don't think i would take doug seriously, I don't think I have ever seen him post something positive about someone elses ride.
Edit: I souldn't say they look like crap, but they just didn't work for me.
