awsome color and tumbs up on the hood but ditch those wheels. get yourself a nice set of irocs and polish em up and then lower it a lil itll look so sick. really nice color tho

I absolutely hate ss hoods, but now.... in two tone i like the look of that especially teh colors you've got going on, makes that hood look alot meaner than solid color.

I never seem to like the wheels either, but again they look real nice on yours man, its gotta be the color....i love yellow cars


I rate it 9.5 outta 10 since i dont liek hood pins

What color yellow is it? At first I thought Millenium Yellow, but it looks a little pale in the last pic.

the yellow is custom blend. it has no name other then kevins camaro yellow lol

the banner is coming off this spring. i liked it at first but with the yellow it doesnt fit so i'm getting rid of it.

the rims were a gift so i'm running them until this spring when i go pick up some single line irocs im buying from a guy and his friend is going to be cleaning them up for me (polishing and repainting the black areas).

i cant lower the car due to the angle of the bottom of my driveway and several places i go everyday. i might be able to drop an inch but is that even worth it?

thanks for the compliments keep them coming!

yes i have closer pics of the hood. no need to run out and copy it tho

glad to see most of you approve. i am proud of how everything worked out. i got a steal on many of the things. in fact i didnt pay anything to shave the antenna even tho i had a hot rod shop do it. shawn 84customz28 got me a ss hood dirt cheap.

350 on its way! look in tech/general engine for that thread.

Not a big fan of the color Yellow, but it looks nice on your car. I like the rims and the tires too!

hey guys thanks for all the comments and suggestions. its very incouraging and makes all the time and effort worth it.

i guess this means overall people like it too and i should move on with the plans to remove the banner and get better rims when $$ becomes available. thanks again guys
