thinking of changing the candy
the body kit is called tigershark built by wheel 2 wheel here in michigan as a prototype gm design on what was to be a possible upgrade to the oldschool style. made several years ago, still sold today though. that car you see is actually the x box car featured in 2 fast 2 furious.. guess he got tired of the gaudy stickers.

Sweet color.. But I really love the wheels on that vette! I have C5 wheels and now wish I have those
I like the lip and the kinda curved spokes.. They are so expensive wow.. Defintely can't justify that cost unless the car is garaged and away from the elements

I think it would look decent, but IMO I'd get pretty tired of having such a vibrant orange car

I think it would work well..
during the day it be a 'moderate' orange unless its getting hit by the sun...
during dawn/dusk it'd look more like the old stock sunburnt orange..
you may even fool a few people by telling them its a stock colour!

I say you pick .... the color you like the best!
Seriously though, I know you probably have an idea of theme behind the car's you build, just keep following that dream ....

lol
you cant paint your car that color, or any color close to it..
thats what mine is getting painted.
and i want to be unique.. dammit... lol
seriously though, it looks good with most shades of metallic/candy orange... just dont go too bright on it, and remember the flat sides of the car dont curve enough to get that colorchange depth... athough im sure you've studied that more then i have... lol.

Tangerine is the color I've had planned on doing my IROC in when I get the time/money/space for a complete rebuild.

Sometimes i wish that i painted my car some sort of bright tangerine or HOK Tangelo orange with maybe gold pearl ghost flames.
But back then i had never seen it in person, and not knowing my car would come this far... made me paint it straight red w/ flames.

i painted mine red because the factory car was dark metallic red. i hear you.... things change though overtime. i never planned doing any of the things i have but the paint.

Tangelo was the color I initially wanted too, but I think the Tangerine would compliment the thirdgen camaro's shape better.

yeah the guy i sold it to had plans for a father/son build. wanted a good clean chassis so we worked out stripping the high dollar things that i wanted to rebuy for my project anyhow. his son later thought that it wasn't cool enough and so i bought it back for a lesser price. couldn't pass it up. with the lesser amount i did the drivetrain conversion and now i have two full drivers. 5 total though as i have 3 parts cars. trying to find a convertible to build though.
