I haven't seen anyone in my area with a black IROC-Z that has the blue stripe. The couple I have seen were all silver. So pretty much if you see the blue stripe, you know its me.

It's a clean, non rusted, non ragged out 3rd gen. What more do you need?
The standards are pretty low for a 3rd gen to "stand out."

as for my standards... i had one of the cleanest 3rd gens around here until my friend decided to hump my fender resulting in a big dent... other than that ive had like 3 sets of camaro wheels( salad shooters, berlinetta, and stock 15in) I have a cowl hood so that stands out... oh and my exhaust is mad loud and looks unique

LOL.This is one of those, "I am not sure what am asking" threads. I think that he wants to know of MODS that have been done rarely, like rear seat speaker box, or vette taillights, or scoops, or different bumpers, ya catch the drift. So, I guess my pro am stands out because it has the pro/am hood, fiberglass ground effects and fourth gen leather power seats. Take that!

Gunny Highway, your just trying to make an argument because you have nothing that makes you stand out. If you look at post number 5 it says other clean looking thirdgens. Let me put this as simple as possible, if every camaro looked brand new,perfect, shiny, etc What would make it be different. My key inserts AND chrome door handles together would stand out, even if its a small thing.

OK guy, how many times a day does someone stop you and say, "Wow!!!! What great key inserts and door handles! How did you do that?"

I guess what makes mine stick out is a combination of things seen on other thirdgens....but put together to my own creation
Blacked out amber signals
boyd hotrods
candy apple red paint
shaved handles
interior swap
...name it and it's been done, but not all on one car like mine

Yeah, you get me. As matter of fact, I guess yours, mine and Camaroguy18's cars are all just Plain Jane according to this guy.
Damnit, I knew I should have painted my door handles!

Ya know, they sell chrome replacement key inserts at most auto parts stores to match those handles! Silver paint will just look like CHEAP CHROME.
By the way, Gunny said he's never seen another Camaro painted the same color as his, that stands out in my book!

lack of gfx, and it still looks good...that seems to be a big deal around here.
also, i have fourth gen door handles painted body color...so they are smooth instead of having that stupid indent.

Not to get in on anything here,but at a stoplight,I promise my plain ol' RED car will be spotted long before Ethan's door handles and locks.
Might have something to do with the 468 under the 4" cowl hood and 3" exhaust with Super 40 Flowmasters and 31/2" turndowns.
To me,it ain't really about standing out in the sense that everyone likes your car.I did everthing myself,from building the engine,fabbing up custom floorpans,custom dash to implement real gauges,I even shot my own paint.It's not a show car,it's not one that you would have to stop and look at if it were parked amongst 100 3rd gens,but it's exactly how I want it,and that's what matters most.I think everyone should build their car the way THEY want it,not because something will make people look at it.I am in the process of painting 92 ground f/x,because I like the way the dummy air scoops look.Because I like it.If you like chrome door handles,kudos.That's what it's all about.
I guess I'll remain lame,because I like my car to be red,paint runs and all,as long as it looks how I want it to.

All of the above.........VERY NICE.I'd love for my car to be that clean again someday.The last time it looked that good was along about 92 when I first bought it.All the waxing had the original Burgandy paint in pretty sorry shape by 93,when I graduated.It got a brand new Maaco back then,and that was the first of 4 less than perfect paint jobs my car has recieved.Good news,the original sheetmetal always turns back up.

1. Made flame job.......too hot too touch.
2. Shaved door handles
3. etched windows on side and rear hatch
4. and my fav of all is the roof. Rag top tht manually slides back. Easier than t-tops and lighter than those dang convertibles.
Look at my cardomain on 1st page for pics of ****znit
