:hail: :hail: That paint owns man. Nice work. As far as your rims, it depends on what you plan on doin with the motor. The 18" IROC's would look good no doubt, but I'd think about puttin somethin a little wider than 8" on the back if it was me. Unless you really don't plan on doin much motor wise.
Looking at those pics again, I have to admit that the 5" spoiler looks pretty dang good on your car. Normally, I really don't like it. Maybe it's b/c of the hood, dunno. It all matches really well man. Superb looking car.

i still think 5 inches is alil to big...maybe 3.5 inches would look better

thanks everyone...yea I know I should have gotten the antenna shaved...a lil late on that part when I noticed it
....the gas cap Im not too concerned about though, as for the wheels, like I said, I hate the fact that the IROCS only go 8"...I want to find something thats at least 9....but I dont want to go with anything that looks like torq thrusts...just too many with them
As for the gfx...the side pieces are from an aftermarket body kit they made so that sport coupes could have gfx....since nothing was wrong with them, I didnt ditch them (and I dont have spots for emblems either)

Looks Sweet.
I hope you have a few hundred buck to buy a winter beater though.
It would be a shame to drive that thing in the Minnesota Snow, Ice, & SALT.

holy crap dude, I'm normally not a fan of that hood, or the spoiler, but they seem to go pretty well together.. your current wheels even look pretty decent on there, given that they're painted and the tires are nice and shiny. Can't wait to see it with bigger wheels!

Nice color, very nice color. I usually don't like that spoiler, but I think it looks good on there. Still not a fan of the hood though and I dunno about the matching wipers either. Looks awesome overall though, and I can't wait to see it all finished.

Looks great, my old Iroc had that color ..
I would have used a cowl hood, not a fan of the hood or wing
but ehh .. the front looks low as is .
I really like the body colored wheels ..

2 things. The spoiler is boss! and don't lower the car, it looks perfect, I love the clearance in the front! Get the billet grille. Your car rocks.

Your Camaro looks awesome man! I love that shade of red, and regardless of what anyone says, I love the look of the RA II hood. My suggestions would be to put some chrome 17's or 18's on there and upgrade to some H4 headlights. You'd be all set then.

it's house of kolor candy apple red....as for the 350 - its still a ways out. Im gonna finish the interior and possibly get it bagged for suspension before I do the engine....lookin at a possible ls1 though
SWEEEEEET. Whatever other plans you have- go with them. You have a good eye for shape and color. I like the spoiler and even the hood. Usually that hood looks too over the top for my tastes. Great proportions.

Good job here - obviously a lot of work and thought went into this. People who think about their cars a lot understand what you have accomplished. Your vision is coming together! Feels great doesn't it.
Camaroguy18:- I love the paintwork on your car. Fantastic colour and great depth by the looks of it!
I'm probably in the minority in that I absolutely love that hood on your car. If it was mine, I'd perhaps consider getting the 1991/1992 Spolier though. LS1 transplant is a great idea!
