I'll have to agree. Stop doing off the wall stuff with your car and posting here for the reaction. You don't need to build your car on other peoples opinions, it's your car, you don't need the thirdgen.org seal of approval. If you like it, do whatever you want.

In NEEDforSPEEDs defense...

All you guys crying about bandwidth and the like, GET OVER IT. Thid is a public forum. He puts his stuff up here because he has ideas and he wants to know what we think. Why would you get mad for a guy asking a question? If you think he or his questions are dumb, dont respond. Dont read his threads. I personally dont agree with everything he wants to do to his camaro, but i find some of his ideas very interesting. At least hes has aspirations of something different. Damn stock ****'s. DIDNT YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO GERMANY?

Usually I skim over vigilant forum defenses like this, but yours does warrant a reply. First off, the original poster is no newcommer to defending his ideas, leave it to him, he's better at defending himself than you are at defending him.

If you think he or his questions are dumb, dont respond.
I will reply to this with YOUR OWN QUOTED WORDS: "He puts his stuff up here because he has ideas and he wants to know what we think."

I'm sure he wants to hear opinions, and not only favorable opinions. I don't agree with asking the message board about every idea you have, as illustrated by my first post in this thread, but if you ask you need to be prepared to listen to the positives and the negatives.

Damn stock ****'s. DIDNT YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO GERMANY?
I'd really like to know what you meant by this, feel free to PM me if you don't want to embarrass yourself further, but I just don't see how it fits or belongs here.

I actually find this amusing. The guy has 21 replies ans 375 views on this but I have posted and seen threads that are "legit questions" get 1 or 2 responses. Maybe you guys should direct your posting energy to answering the questions you can provide your expertise or experience with.

Need, just keep doing what you like. If everyone listened to what they "couldn't" or "shouldn't" do we'd still be walking bare foot on a flat earth in the dark eating raw meat.

back to the main post..i think it looks like @ss..as sed b4
Round lights look awful on a square car, in a square lamp opening!
as far as all the other comments go...i personaly wouldn't care one bit IF he did even 1/4 of the crap he posts about....man after seeing all his PS posts i really wanted to see his car. but then he showed it and it sucked....well it didn't suck but it wasn't what he kept posting about to get opinions. it was a normal camaro with 4th gen wing

That was ment to be a joke, hopefully lightening the message. I apologize if it was ill recieved.

You misread what i was saying. Its not that people shouldnt put up negative comments about his ideas. Such as people syaing they dont like his ideas. But when people tell him to not post his ideas is where it gets a little out of hand.

I didnt want to start a fight about anything. Just a little peeved at how some people critisize the person instead of the idea.

It's like the people who blame McDonald's for them being fat, as though they didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they opened the thread....

The reviews and replies ... i find to be really funny, and
i love it when most of you bash me, kinda reminds me of a movie
you see for free, you don't like it "o'well" but you still complain
and wine even tho you sat there knowing you could leave at any time,
the PS have stop for now, i dont want to here
your ******* crying over that siht anymore, my ideas well not stop
i know whats cool, and i know what i like, i dont look for your approval
i just like to hear your comites to improve apound my ideas sometimes,
not all of them are jack pots,
iv really lost hope on my Camaro so i guess i just posted more
lately but i needed some inspiration, and some comites that
made me push harder, i love coming up with new
things and sharing them... so for those expecting more then what i released
when i was done, o'well my plans where the 4th look on a 3rdgen
but im saveing that for another car now... my camaros right where i want
it for now, i love being different "in a good way" i only did the fad because
it was different, now a days on TGO, its rims, wing and hood, and you can change
mostly the whole look of a car, and some are getting to close that you have
to look at the members names... i just want to be apart from everyone
else...


just keep it coming, i love your commits good and bad....


you guys are awesome

Custom paint is where its at!!! And if someone Has to copy you then they need to be beat down....lol I'm kinda assumin that my car will be duplicated someday down the road...and the day that happens is the day I stop driving the car and repaint the thing and completely change the body style...But I dunno I hope mine is very unique to me and I hope no one else decides to do what I did...


Its really kool to see all the different views of what people think their Camaro/Firebird should look like...eveyone else has that 1 distingusing feature about their car that sets it off....


Happy customizing!!!
Jason
