pics of the camaro

hey guys heres a few pics of my 88 sc

i'm trying to get some input on what i should put onto it, i like the spoiler but i'm thinking bout an ss hood and some 16" iroc rims


also as far as paint who thinks i should keep the stock look or go with a dark mettalic blue?

i already have iroc grid talilights ready to put on and 2 new doors(drivers is messed and passengers is full of bondo)

also what percentage of tint should i go with?

I think an SS hood and some Iroc rims would look great. I think a nice metallic blue would look sweet. For the % of tint, do you drive alot at night? I would go with 15% tint. Its dark at night but you can still see out fine.

Welp it's hard to say on that one. I think the Metallic Blue would look great, but your color scheme was the same as my T/A was before I had it painted, and somtimes I miss it. It stands out! I don't think you'd have a wrong decision there.

i think you should go with about 18-22 percent. it looks the best imo. otherwise past that it gets a lil to dark where u cant see out of the back windshield

i gotta agree with you tam this colour scheme is really growing on me but the dark mettalic is also growing on me, and as far as tint goes do you have a pic of 22%?

I like the light blue/silver a lot.

I have tint that is barely lighter than limo. I do fine night and day... Only problem I have is in a pitch dark area backing up.

.... of course my windows are down 100% of the time that is not pouring down rain ... *shrug*

Some silver GTA wheels might look killer on your car.

Yeah they are nice rims, Iroc Zs started from 1985-1990, I personally like wat GM did after the IROCs, The 1991-1992 Z28s which were known as the "IMPROVED IROCS"

Good luck working on your lack of money problem, that's why Firebird's still in the garage. I got plenty of time though. Just no money. The irony is, when you get money, you lose time. Oh well, such is life. Good luck with your car, I'd love to see a v6 with as much power as an 8. Since its a new GM motor, it shouldn't too far behind most L03's here

This couldn't be truer. Me having a daily driver I NEED my car , I just hate to think of all of the labor I've paid for and what else I could have gotten with the money. ah well, kretos good luck with the car. A nice V6'er (non-collector) is hard to find, I think having something different is not bad. That six banger with a turbo would prolly woop my LO3!
Good luck,
-Efrain

my friend had a regal t-type which was the same as a grand national. and he ran 14.5 stock. it was a pretty quick car but once it hit 90 mph it almost stopped dead in its tracks. not much top end
