You know, things have completely turned around from the way that they were 20 years ago. Most everyone today feels that they have to have the very liberal "respect everything and everyone all the time."

It looks like GARBAGE, I''m sure it could be fixed up nicely (because it's possible to fix almost anything) but in it's current state, it's a white trash mobile.

Not fact, simply my opinion.

Im not in any way trying to be all 'respective about everything and everyone at all times' im simply saying, I dont think its that bad, I've seen worse (on here to boot), thats my opinion, and he's allowed to do what he wants with his car just the same as you are allowed to have your opinion about it. I said its not that bad (although I didnt see some of the 'rigging' that was going on there until it was mentioned and a pic linked to, I didnt look that much initially) and that I DONT like the stickers, how is that being all respecting of his stuff?

It's just my opinion man.

I agree it is garbage, at least it's different. Too many people think window tint or putting on a set of cragars is "customizing" their cars. If you want your car to look like everyone elses go buy a friggin' dodge neon, then when you feel bold and daring slap a fart can under the bumper.

AnyWayz- I think that car would be a major muff magnet with some 20" spinners and a zebra fur interior

Geez. Most folks don't like it because if you actually look at the car, it screams half-*** turd. Someone needs to take the spray cans away from this guy. It's not hard to figure it out, is it?

I swear that damn movie had way too much impact on today's youth. They actually bought all that crap!!! WTF. You know when a girl asks you to make her car shoot pink flames out the back like they did in the second movie that it has gone way too far.


By the way...that guys selling it should be shot

He forgot to paint his hood....and his front bumper. How come when a thirdgen has different colored hood, door, trunk lid, quarter panel, it's considered crap when import cars have it too?

it could be fixed rather easily. Im sure it has well over 1000.00 in parts on it prolly alot more. Do a new paint job, make a quality gage cluster, and work out a few things it would be a sweet camaro. Give this guy some credit.

no basically i see a car that a person started to make *gasp* something to be different *gasp* and then they ran out of money or had something come up. i can tell you i drove an 87 sport coupe camaro with a 2.8 in it around that was in pretty sorry shape simply because i was in school and had no time or money to fix it up. same with my 91. i think the whole issue here revolves around the decals, if thos werent there then it would be passed off as another project car needing to be finished. maybe even be labeled as a "good project car" on here.

Theres more to it than taking the stickers off and painting it. The motor is beat. He got in two accidents with it. Thats the reason why you see the front end on it now messed up and the reason why he has a primered hood and front end,.Before he had a turbo hood with it and the front end painted red with a big pep boys wing on it. He hit a truck pretty hard and replaced the front end and hood then hit someone else!!!!!

Bid on the car if you like but im telling you the car is from around here and i can tell you there is more to it then meets the eye! The motor is beat. The exhaust is rigged and has 90124823094 holes in it.

actually i was more arguing for things like this:

who puts FNF graphics neon or any other uncle bens accessory from pep boys should be pointed at and laughed at on every time they leave the house
thats exactly what i was talking about. its what the guy wants to do to his car and i dont think anyone here can bash him for anything about it.

Well, for me, it's not the crappy decals that make it look like crap, it's the crappy condition of the car that makes it like crap. Decals or not, it's still a turd. Sure it can be fixed, but I would not want to mess with someone's half baked abortion.

Jeez, I was expecting something really wrong. This car isn't hacked up. That gauge cluster is pretty nice for a car like ours. He's got a B&M (ripper maybe?) shifter, big cowl hood, stock body panels. So he has ROUND fog lights, some vinyl, a crappy steering wheel and an unartistic eye for interior colors. Looks worthwhile to me. Anyone could still buy this car and do with it what they wish. A grand is a bit much maybe, but you could still make $$$ back on parts.

What's wrong with the Fast and Furious cars anyway? Almost all of those cars were pretty nice. It's the failed attempts at mimicing those cars that tend to look like crap. And that's all that's wrong with this Camaro. It looks like crap.
