I'll never understand why people want to put round headlights on the 3rd gen camaros.... Every body line on the car is square, besides the tires, everything from the dash to the side mirrors to every body panel consists of almost perfectly straight lines. I think they look about as out of place as wings on cars.

look into house of kolors "lime time green" very nice green that is an attention getter close to what you'd like and not as hard on the eyes as your photoshop.

for the wheels i think if you went with a 5 star design that was painted but with a nice polished lip, maybe at least a 2" something similar to a roh firehawk wheel or even a billet wheel it would look good but a factory 15 or even 16" wheel would look out of place, you'd need at least a 17" to pull that color off.

the round headlights do not fit at all in any design... doesn't mean you can't do it though.

the second chop with more black integrated into the paint looks much better then the poor flame design in your first picture. i think your ideas are nice and different. they just need to be polished a bit...

it would take very little work to make the car nice, do it as it sits though and you'll be the only one who enjoys it. it's your car, do as you please. as for me it's a shade too bright.

I'm calling BS on this one New member shows up talking about a lime green camaro and then the grim reaper on the hood. If it isn't a joke, think about how ugly your idea must be for people to think it's a joke. lol

Seriously man, that is some pretty hideous colors. I'm not much of one for flames or graphics, but at least pick some different colors, and scratch the whole grim reaper thing.
