rip it apart

Ok so here the deal I’ve had my car painted for almost a year now and I’m just getting around to showing it of to u guys. I could never figurer out how to post pics on thirdge.org cuz 4 some reason my pics were always to big, so I made my very own cardomain site…. Here it is…. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2173011 I just have a few pics up on it now. Everyone likes a before and after so that’s wut I put on the web page. What I want you guys to do is rip my car apart and tell me every thing you don’t like about it. If someone could also copy and past the pics to this tread, so not every one would have to go to the cardomain page that would be nice also. Since some one will ask yes the spoiler is painted the same color as the ground effects.Well have fun.

Nice car. It's neat seeing before and after pictures. I like it it reminds me alot of the 84 Z28 I had. Here you go resized from your cardomain and cut out the white from the scan.














Save those pictures so i can take them off my cardomain page whenever I update it again.

Looks great, interesting concept by have the spoiler lighter than the body and match it with the gfx. Is that the GM color Midnight Sand Gray with gunmetal gfx?

It looks awesome. Great job on it. The only thing I'm not too sure about are the tail pipes. They seem uneven. Maybe it's the angle. And I'm not too fond of tail pipes sticking out on these cars anyway. But that's just my opinion. Good job, be proud of it.

Well when painting the car I tried to match the paint as close to the original. It’s not exactly midnight sand, but it is very close. The ground effects where faded when I picked out the paint so I didn’t even try to match them up to the original color they were. I just looked threw a color book and picked out a color I thought would look good for them. As far *** the tail pipes go they are strait, but I also think they stick out to far. Someday im gonna cut them of a bit and put some tips on it. The spoiler was a last minute decision when the car got painted, but with out it I think the car would look to plain.

On a side note this car may look good on the out side, but the inside looks like crap. I wanna do the 4th gen swap…dash console and door panels, but not sure if I should. I would have no problem dropping a load of cash 4 the interior of this car but I just don’t know wut I should do keep it stock, or bring the interior up to date. Any ideas on this?

I don't really like the 4th gen interior swaps myself. I like the looks of the third-gen interiors better. But it's really just a matter of opinion. If you like the 4th gen interior and can afford it, then go for it!

Yea I like the 3 gen dashes, but I don’t really like the door panels. There just to plain, I don’t like that flat cardboard look at all. I would try to fiberglass a dash, but I cant figure out a way to give it a texture stock like appearance. Wish I could make up my mind on wut to do, so I can get it done.
