i go to bcit it's a technical school in vancouver b.c canada i got my teacher to let me bring my camaro in to re-do it and i got alot done i shaved off all emblems and body mouldings like the front nose and the indent in the rear bumper. i also shaved the door handles, i also painted my foglights and side turn signals in a transparent blend of my paint color. and put autoloc pop system. i painted it a custom cadillac color it's real metallic in the sun and it's like a gunmetal but at night it's complete black. i don't have picture of this yet but i also ghosted on the iroc door stickers i did it in a white pearl that only stands out at certain angles. please tell me what u think it's still a work in progress but it's better then what it was before.

 

heres what it looked like before we applyied all the paint it was red with a quick maaco job that was just really bad black with red chips everywhere and in my drivers quarter it had bullit holes so i don't know what this car did before but now it's changed

wow, great job!!

sweet camaro!

 

wow looks great love the color

 

Very nice job!

 

Love the color.....

 

Very nice work! Keep it up. Love the painted lights. Ever get any drama from the local fuzz?

 

Very nice, Super wheel & tire choice, what size are they?

 

which rims are those that are very nice and what size and all

 

Very clean, the wheels...Prostar XP, correct?

 

Thats just awesome, the color really brings it out.

 

looks sweet

 

awesome , i love it , it looks great man , be proud and park waaay in the back of the lots so you dont get dents on that sweet car.

 

holy crap you saved one,

 

Whats the name of the paint? Code? That is the best color ever! Nice job...

 

yea definatly loving that colour!! right on, good job saving a good car~!

 

Looks great!

 

color is too dark not to be black IMO. but thats a bitchin camaro, especially since you were able to get your school to do it.

 

thanks for all the comments yea the rims are weld prostar xp's in the back i have 245 50 16's and up front i have 225 45 16's the paint color is 805k, dark spiral grey mettallic there is also a medium spiral grey and a light spiral grey. and no i never got hassled by the cops. The best part about my car being re-done was if i got it all done in a shop everything would have cost me $11,000 for all the body work and all the paint and everything, the paint i have on my car is top notch really exspensive, but i got it all done for $260.

 

Looks good!. Nice and clean.

 

DAM thats nice. Sweet job.

 

Looks awesome...


I like everything but the exhaust and the tailight covers

 

whats wrong with the taillight covers and the exhaust the covers are perfect for my car cause i'm goin for the stealthy look they match my painted foglights and sidemarkers and that exhaust is killer but hey thats your point of view

 

The exhaust is very high-schooly and *******ish. Plus 'fake' dual systems aren't something I'd be pimping.

The covers I don't like on any car. Some nice polished tailights look 1000x more classier then those, and people that win respectable shows tend to agree

 

the taillight covers are temporary cause u notice how they don't match my color i have a set of taillights that are being colormatched to my car, and the car came with that exhaust and it's not highschoolish true dual exhaust is exspensive and hard to run and two tips look way better then one tip or two tips on one side

 

Dumped > *

 

what?

 

And while ya mentioned it I'll give my opinion on it. I think you need some nice clean tailights to break it up back there. Color-matched is going to be far too much. (same goes with the fronts...)
----------
Dumped exhaust looks the best, because you can't see it

 

First of all - there's alot of respectable members here that have "fake" dual systems. If you WERE one of the few members who can afford to have a true dual system built, then congrats. The rest of us will enjoy the sound and performance of our "fake" systems. Second, attributing someone's personal tastes to them entering or not entering "respectable shows" (whatever that means) is lame.

To the original poster - my congrats again. Building a car in high-school is tough. Learning to take criticism from those who don't agree with your tastes is even tougher. However, I don't see how that has anything to do with being insulted by a member who PREVIOUSLY owned a thirdgen, is here now not even owning one and attributing a mod that a vast majority of thirdgen.org members do to being "high-schooly and *******ish"

 

I help out on tech threads. I give 100% of my honest opinion on appearence and racing threads. That's all there is to it.

I had many exhaust systems, when I unloaded the car it did have dumped dual exhaust that didn't even drag on the tallest of speed bumps.
Long-tubes = $200
S-pipes = $30
Bullets - $60
Labor = $40

It is my opinion that that exhuast reminds me a Z71...

 

thank you eye candy but i'm not in highschool it's a technical university and hearing this from somebody who doesn't own a camaro is not what i'm intrested in. and i'm not making a show car i'm making a car that is different from everyother third-gen this car is exactly how i like it and it only cost me $260 if u can show me a car that looks this good coming from what it did and cost as much as i paid then your a better man then me. let me just say the paint on my car was donated from a paint company and alone it cost $4500 lets see maaco do that.

 

I was referring to the body work and paint...


And especially - my fav. wheels manufactured...

 

Either way - school is school. It drains you of your money and time - which is all that's required to make a thirdgen nice. I still think you did an excellent job.

 

SHAZAM, wonderful job, way to go

 

here my rearend pictures u can either love them or hate them but seeming that i have $57 in my account no job until school is over and i get up to go to school at 5am i would say that this car is amazing it is now my project car cause of gas prices maybe one day i'll make it into a "show" car but then i'd have to hear ppl rag on it all day that it's not what they think it should look like i'll stick to driving it and ppl coming up to me in gasstations and other f-bodys stopping me and talking to me about it thats what i like even if it doesent have a trophey from a show

oh yea and heres a pic of my intake that i got painted for free. the same tru-fire will also be on my hood louvers where my nitrous purges out of.sorry the pics bad it's off my phone i will have better pics of that and my custom airbrushed nos tank that is in my car

Image removed.

 

Anyone can buy a trophy, as long as you're proud of the car that's what matters.

 

The graphics on the intake look sweet. I smoothed an painted my intake and have yet to figure out if I should put something on there. I don't have to think about it anymore, mine needs some subtle graphics. Great job with the whole car, do what you like the rest will follow. "If you build it they will come"

 

lets try some punctuation next time.

don't worry about other ppl, its your car.

 

Looks awesome man, I really love the color. I'm not one for blackouts and I do think the exhaust could be pulled up a little more, but its not my car. Its your car, be proud of it. Very nice work

 

i think that car really needs the black out tailights.. it really goes well with the car.

the stock 80's tail lights arent too good looking and i wish their was another alternative to them. i did the red tail light mod.

what u could do is the red tailight mod and then mix a clear and black together and "smoke" out the rear lights. tinted clear gives it a permanent covered look but its not totally blacked out where its illegal

 

That car is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful paintjob. Good job on it.
The black outs look right at home back there.

I do agree with the exhaust, if it was pulled up a tad toward the bumper, it would look better, but thats minor **** right now.

Enjoy it, you deserve it!

 

IMO I think it looks good the way it is .

IMO I think it looks good the way it is . Everybody is different

 

yea my exhaust was sitting higher before i had a new flowmaster put on a little while ago. Now it sits a couple inches to low, i like it closer to the bumper, but thanks for all the great comments

 

well i guess i can say it looks nice. i hadnt posted anything about it but i was going to use that exact color (mine is actually coming from the newer GMC sierras but i bet its the same) with the same ghosted badges and shaved body. i was hoping (and i still am) that this color doesnt turn out to be like that chrysler silver that everyone painted their car a few years ago.

nice work though bro and good taste!

 

very nice! I love the rear bumper. Be proud of it man!!

 

yea i believe the sierras are the same color there are three variations of the color mine is the darkest of the three then theres a medium and a light just believe me that it's alot of work shaving everything especial on the front clip and the rear bumper because it's so flexible but yea the color should turn out good it's a nice color it really stands out from other f-bodys believe me i get comment all the time.
