Well i bought my car all by myself (i'm 16) n its far from the best camaro out there but not bad for a first car i guess. it still has the 2.8 in it cuz i haven't gotten around to droppin the 350 i have sittin around into it yet...n the way gas is going, i mite put that little project off a little. Oh and of course i had to put a bad *** sound system in it haha i can get some pics of it later but neways here is the red bitch:

man them 2.8 700r4 combo is so slow and boring. Cars nice, get that 350 in. Righ when your insurance is due, get a beater car. Rip everything out of your car and start : ). its what i'm doin, just an idea

no they definately aren't real...lol. but they were on there when i got it. the only thing i like about them is that they make the car look different from other thirdgens. i really want a ram air hood 
. ah i'll get one eventually...but it wouldn't do a 2.8 any good lol.

Good choice I was 16 when I got my baby, have had it for 2 years now and I love it to death
Just my opinion but the scoops are disgusting.....they look good on trucks, not F bods. Other than that great car man, your gonna be happy with it
PS - Dont think the 2.8 can do anything? check out my video

I don't think the scoops look that bad, I got my 3rdgen when I was 16 by working summers, congrats on that. Personally I'd drive that 2.8 into the ground and do suspension upgrades for when you do put in that 350. Sharp lookin' car at any rate!

I think you should do the black on the headlight area. Also maybe ditch the rs grille and get a Z28 one, and they are pretty
cheap.

Looks pretty good your missing a center cap. That would bug the hell out of me. Need to get rid of the scoops. You bought a hell of a starter car its unlimited what u can do it. And as some others have been saying whats wrong with having gobs of horsepower and no suspension work. 
That makes the car fun as hell to drive. My car is completly stock in the rear suspension except the lowering springs. And i love getting sideways in it. I think it would be boring if it hooked everytime i got on it

Like everyone else, I agree about the scoops. Get somenew center caps and youre good to go! I was once 16 when I had my thirdgen, now im 18 and it still hasn't seen the road. Soon it will though, very soon!

I'm in MD too, though in western md right now for college. I'll be heading over to OC in May, just not with the Camaro.
yours looks good, but like others have said, lose the scoops

I think Ram Air hoods on Camaros is quite lame, you guys have way to many choices of hoods to peruse through, us firebird guys have less than a handful of options.
