Definitely a very sweet car. Love the rims, go awesome with that mirror black. Good angle...
It seems that all 3rd Gens on the other side of the pond are always as nice as can be.
Is that due to the rarity? Are there any beaters that you have seen in your Euro travels?

You could put that car in a bed next to a one night stand you woke up too after a night of heavy drinking and it would still look good.......

Nice as always.....

Graboid....if you need a place to host your pictures let me know. The limit is 3 if you attach to TGO.

I'm also loving that miniature front plate, gets the job done, yet it isn't as unneccesarily huge as our plates are here in the good ol' USA.

No matter who is posting pics, this guy always seems to be downing something about their car.

Anyway, As always Graboid, your car is absolutely awesome. I love black thirdgens, and yours is one of the best on the site. Amazing car bro.

Thanks, folks, thanks.
I will not change the engine or brakes, this is my second camaro (had an '88iroc before) and i bought it for the looks. If performance would have been the priority, i would have bought a 4th gen.
The car stays like it is. Been thinking about getting some budnik 20's (8.5 and 11" wide). But unlike others, i don't have a sponsor who supports me with wheels, and in my country that means 6500$ for the set. Therefore i haven't decided yet

Your car looks fake! Like a Toy or something!

It is that dang clean! I do not see how you do such a well detail job on it. You my friend, get two thumbs way up.
