Thnaks guys lemme kno what u htink

paint her black, witha 2" cowl, and chrome zo6 wheels and call it a day.

 

haha that would look real good but if i went to a meet of EVERYONE from tgo i would want people to walk up and say o look its kevins car w/o even having to think about it

 

Pick your color, just put it on these.

 

well, in that case, paint it pink...

 

wowo i really like those rims boyds tho might be a lil outa my $ range

As fas as the pink goes i want people to notice it not laugh at it lol

 

how about the chromillusion (sp?) paint? i know its been disscussed 123,244,121,244,242 times...but its cool as helll

 

Pricing aint too bad on em
17" $1280
8"
9.5" add $30 per wheel.

IMO go less crazy on the paint and spend the extra $ towards the rims, wheels make or break a car, the paint color as is would look beautiful with those rims.

 

Those wheel would probably look a ton better with a soft lip.

I say spend a couple hours looking at pics until you find the color you like.......i did it and ended up going with the first color i seen(corvette Red).

 

well IMO I wouldnt go with large rims at all, too many people do it and to me its a little overdone. I am thinking more along the lines of some wide tires in the rear and skinnier ones up front on a 15 inch wheel like a prostar or draglite. I think that look on a camaro with a cowl hood looks killer and as for the color I would also do osmehting a little different like maybe a silver or darker gray, I just feel like if your going to do something custom enough to be noticed dont do it like everyone else on here does it, be different and make the car yours.

 

someone just posted these recently, its the first time ive seen them, i think they are bad ***! they are made by intro

 

does it have to be 5 spoke?

here are some good links to custom wheel pics.

i think the real question is size and budget. any of the above expect to pay close to 2500-3000 with tires. you can save alot by sticking to 16 or 17" sizes.

 

Thanks for all the input guys

As far as spending money on paint im not to concerned i paint cars so ill be doin it myself not to expensive

I want to go with at least a 17 inch rim i really perferr the aggressive look of lowerd porlly sportlines with 17 or maybe even 18s

Not a fan of skinies or draglites or basically any weld rim srry guys definitly wont be going that route

As far as grey or silver that does look really good but not my taste i perferr a darker COLOR something with a color to it not blakc grey or white you know and how many 3rd gens have you seen dark greek/teal with a blue pearl coat?

 

why not paint it gunmetal? i think its awsome colour and looks fantaastic on camaros, as for wheels i'm still a big fan of the stock 88 double stripe iroc wheels

 

well my mind changes like the wind and i had an awesome idea in a dream i had while sleeping in lit class today lol ill post a pic soon as i get it chopped up

 

ok hers the official worlds worst phototshop prolly woulda looked better in paint haha lemme kno wut u htink and if someone can do it better pleaqse do do lol

 

They look good. Here they are on my 4th gen

I like the house of colors cinnamon pearl.

 

Black, checkered white 35th SS racing stripes w/ ASCD SS hood, 18in z06 rims, and a Hawks 5in spoiler.

89 had the plain(er) gfx package correct?

ps, thanks for the sig FndmntlsOfPimpn

this is getting to be too much fun

 

...

never seen that look before.

 

is that a 4" cowl???

u should go red, w/black Z06 wheels, w/the chrome rivets!!!

 

well im pretty sure that im gonna go with a more complex paint job i want sonething that satnds out a little more and not all jus one color i like the red/black/silver combo and i reall like those rims i drew up this design in lit class its a rough idea but what do you think?

 

Lots of views not many replys anyone.. anyone...?

 

I like the black one

 

If you're gonna add pearl to a blue paintjob, consider silver pearl. Goes nice together.

 

I love that silver pearl and blue idea. Good thinkin!

 

Keep her clean, keep her white!
