Wow a little before and after

Actually it will be thanksgiving day i have owned the rs for one year. Found teh pics i took the night after i got it in bone stock form here they are. I have some real nice super high res pics of the rs as it sits now that a guy from cofb is downsizing for me so he said he'd have em done today and i'll post those.
Only thing in the pics that was new was teh tint it was done earlier that day, yes the day after i bought the car since it was purple and peeling

1 year
8500 in stuff done
2300 paid for car
1 happy owner

Old pics still drive me nuts without the massive hood and tall spoiler on the back i'm glad thats been fixed it looks funny as hell

My car looked the same way when I got it. It's amazing the difference between the way it looks in pictures on the net, than what it looks like in person.

If the teal would have looked the same in person as it did on the net, I would have left it that color, but unfortunately, it looked just a little to gay for me.

I too will soon post before and after pics.

As a dark bright metallic teal camaro owner, I'll have to agree.
I've been teased abou this for years, and I never really liked it, but the car had everything else I wanted so I bought it.
But the silly Van Nuys paint is flakin off anyway.
The green/blue color of the 4th gens is much cooler.

Somehow the 5" lip and the cowl hood take away from its gayness. Much meaner.
Best looking teal maro I've seen on TGO.

Thanks guys
86irocket, actually its the second i had my old bird out there to
and since the i had don eth eice already it was to slick to get going on just made alot of noise. Just put it in D and let it pull itself around, did however burn the hides back in the zamboni room

I have also taken crap about the teal color, but its grown on me and i like it, guy at finish masters said that color ppg was the most expensive stock color they have ever sold, plus throw some ghost stripes in and it looses the gay factor.

For now the rims stay, i actually like the look however am going to polish and redo the teal on the rims for now, i want air ride, bad and think it would look cooler with the stock rims on there.

Well thats cause this one is way cooler than my bird was

The 406, i'm still looking around for parts, not sure if its gonna happen real soon since i cant seem to find too much stuff for a 406 that would keep everythign emmissions legal and and handle a blower and run on 91 octane. I want to keep it all emmisions legal. It might be a few years off for now i wanna find soem vette seats and get my interior finished and maybe air ride in the summer
