I definately love the color choice, but I'm not a fan of those rims. Just my opinion though, its your car

the doors were sagging i didnt paint there but i have fixed that and will be doing it this week sometime.

i will paint the engine bay when i get the money together for a 350 swap. i figured that would make it easier and i could paint it right by taking everything out and paint even where it is covered by things.

Personally I think it looked way better before. That one clean looking car. You don't see many Camaro's that year in that kind of shape anymore. If it were mine I would have left it alone, it was a beautiful car. It would have made a real sweet sleeper!

But it's your car, my opinion means nothing. If you are happy with it than way to go!

the old pic wasnt too original. the day after that pic i saw the same exact car color combo and everything so since i havent seen any nice black ones around here i switched it up a little. i imagine there are 1000 black third gens on this board but around where i like there are 2 other ones and they both are in near junkyard shape. i guess this is one of those things where you cant please everyone.
