Done! (for the most part)
After working on my Camaro day in and day out since December to try to get an LT1 in there before the end of August, I realized that money and time were becoming more and more prohibitive. I finally ended up picking up a spraypainted 85 Trans Am, and have now gotten it much closer to where I want it. Let me know what you think of the changes.

Looks real nice. Im not sure about the camaro wheels on it tho because i think they look better with wheels that are deep dish.
The seats are good but I wish APC didnt put that huge *** logo all over every damn thing. Thats the only thing that has kept me away from their seats and stuff.

Great car man! As someone mentioned, the wheels look fantastic, and go really well with the color. It's now one of my favorite Trans Ams here actually.

The motor hasn't changed from the before pics. Still an LB9.
Thanks for the feedback, both good and bad. I wasn't sure how I would like the spoiler, but after it was painted and all was said and done, I really liked it. It sets the car apart and I think it complements it well.
The wheels the car came with were really ugly, so I just stole the ones that were supposed to end up on the Camaro. It worked out well.
I'm not a fan of the APC logo either, but, man, those seats are comfortable. And they look great in the car IMHO.

I agree that they look good in the car.
Really i just dont want the honda guys to think mine and their car are similar besides the fact that they go down the road.
Maybe i could put a patch over the logo or something.
Anyways, they look a bajillion times better that those blue flame seat covers.

muy bueno , i like it it . Just get the hood to close a little more and your golden . other than that it looks good, and i also like what you did with the maro wheels. I thought they were aftermarket wheels at first sight . Nice job .

The wheels suck a set of black gta's would look better. Everything else looks good.

That car is begging for silver ground effects! It would match the hubcap in the wheel perfectly!
I like the color alot.
I also like the Camaro spoiler and black rims.
Nice job.
