My Sport Coupe Renewed
I just got here out of the body shop last Thursday. Got new quarter panels on the rear and a LOT of rust repair done.
So how does it look, eh?

Here's the last one I'm allowed 
The noon day sun sure gives a guy a lot of variations in the colour and contrast departments, doesn't it!

The car is a simple study in red and black, and allowing them to show off the third gens' classic lines and form. I also left off the Camaro badging in order to emphasise the shape.
I really like the Formulas, too, because they also let you see the beautiful lines of the car.
I like ground effects, but there are more than enough of them and I kind of like being a tiny bit different. And, of course, the car had no ground effects when I bought it. Maybe I'll add them at some time in the future

I really love the silver Berlinetta that ADV1 posted last week, too. I remember him posting several shots of it a couple years back and I stored them in my "Excellent third gens" folder where I use them for wallpaper from time to time.
As an observant person once said, "Brevity is wit." Simplicity can sure say a lot, and less certainly can be more

Looks nice! I actually like the wheels. Not my faves or anything, but they're all right. 
Post a front shot so that someone can suggest painting the headlight pockets

I like the wheels to a certain extent myself.

They are simple cast aluminum wheels. The sort you see on Jeep type 4x4s all the time.

If you really mean heavy, they aren't. They are just cast aluminum 15x7" wheels, very light. They came with the car when I bought it back in May 2001. Also came with Goodyear Eagle HPs, 225-60-R15s.
