How does my Camaro look?
Finally got pics taken of my Camaro. Tell me what you think. I know, I know… The driver side door needs work done, and I got a couple paint spots that need tending to…but other than that, what do you think?

Hey, you live in Kansas too. I'm from Topeka. I like your car very much, but I agree that you really need to complete the ground effects. The stripes definitely compliment the car, good work!

looks good, painted the stripes yourself, they came out nice, look strait and sweet, been thinking about doing stripes on my 25th, already done a little paiting on it, rims and spoiler, but i have other projects im working on for the moment, but you sound liek you know how that goes, and i got inspection comming up, i know i got somethign to repare, they love to stick you every year for something and i made it through last year with a new oxy sensor, i like the headlight blackouts, its a different look from stock but i liek it ive been thinking about looking into it, anywho i cant reply to anything without rambling, nice car man

Car looks great mang!
I never liked the earlier maros cause the front look like a boat without the GFX (in my opinion guyz). I think it would look super phat with the rest of the GFX, but even as it stands its looks nice, drive it with pride! :lala:

whoops I'm an idiot and didn't even notice that he only had the front gfx. Anyways, I'd either take off the front gfx or find some replacement gfx pieces for the sides and rear quarters. But seeing as I personally think an 82-84 looks pretty good without gfx, it'd be cheaper that way and still look good to just take off the front spoiler. IMO the gfx-less cars look more nostalgic to the first and second gens, which can definitely be a good thing.

wow, thanks guys! I didn't think I would get any good responce due to the fact the door is a little banged up (happened at work 3 months ago.) I'm very surprised I didn't get flamed for the light covers and the vinyl "CAMARO" letters..I did a little searching and found so many people who hate them, lol. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I took a pic of my rims, but the camera sucks and it turned out kind of odd...looks like it has a rust spot or something, but it doesnt.

Your car looks good. Go ahead and fix the door and gfx and your ride will be straight.

You know, my thoughts on the light covers change day by day, sometimes I think its too much....I first got them b4 I did the stripes, and i loved them..but sometimes I think its just too much..black I guess..but most of the time I love it.
Just cause someone backed into my car doesnt mean it cant look good lol!
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys

I didn't even think it was possible to mount the Z28 gfx to the SC nose. Not bad looking, but I have seen better looking aftermarket gfx for SCs.

I'm ussually not one for stripes on a 3rd gen, But I have to say the ones you have look pretty good. They seem to fit your car very nicely, and I like the fact that they don't go the length of the entire car, like some i've seen.
Very nice.
Very nice.

I was gonna use vinyl, but i didnt like the look for some reason, so I taped down some stripes, sanded, and painted away Thread
