May i ask whats up with the black hood?

Are you having it paint matched red or just leaving it black?

I think it would look a million times better with a red hood! But none the less she looks good!

Ah,
The joys of summer are starting!
Congrads on your first throphy!
The feeling starts to wear off when you start getting collecting over 20 of them. Then, there's no room for them!
Hope you get more!

i think thats one of the best import looks anyone has pulled off on a camaro thus far...i HATE black rims but atleast its somewhat complimented by the hood and at the same time you picked wheels that arent super intricate so it doesnt waste the wheels image very much...i cant decide about the red rings...def only on your car but im still not for it...overall well done im sure it matches your tastes...looks like it should be drifting next to hawaiians green maro

Nothing close to an import!! This ride reminds me more of the muscle look in the 70's!
  • American made Hot Rod (chevy camaro)
  • Flat Black hood
  • Chevy Power trademark "COWL INDUCTION"
  • Black 5 spoke factory wheels (early 70's Z-28)
  • SCCA road race stance.
Kudos on the American Muscle fella. The guys with the clear corner lights are more import than you are.

God bless the "Heartbeat", Steve

Congrats on the trophy! I don't think it's importish at all, GM in the early 90's color matched the wheels on everything (beretta gtz, bonnevelle ssei, grand prix, and teh crosslaces gta wheels). Car definatly has a unique look which is getting harder and harder to do anymore.
