found these images on ebay.. (not to turn this into a flame war about an ugly car) and no, this car isn't for sale.. his alpine cd player is.

anyway check out the dash.. all smooth and shiny, never seen that approach before. almost pulled off the snorkel hood too, but not nearly as well as camaroguy18. I'm liking the SS badges inside and out, but whats with the old wheel and the .99cent steering wheel cover?

post your thoughts an opinions, and lets try not to get this one locked

The smooth dash just looks like some clear plexi that he cut and bent to me. I think it looks cheap.

I personally love the dash panel. But I wish it said RS instead of SS ... what the car really is. Why are people so ashamed of RS's sometimes?

Also, it's odd that whoever painted the car did a GREAT job and even did a good job when they painted the door jambs, but why didn't they paint the insides of the doors? They're still red!

BTW the steering wheel cover has GOT to GO!!

Im really liking the paint job cept for the red still peaking from the door. The SS needs to go. It just doesn't look right to any real camaro enthusiast.

lol.. I didn't even notice the red doors

its hard to tell exactly what the dash and trim pieces are made of.. perhaps black plexi? It doesn't appear to me that he covered the pieces with another layer of clear (dash bezel, radio bezel, shifter bezel, dash, etc) but they're actually replacement pieces.... I think.

I think its an interesting approach.. I wouldn't do it.. but different none the less.

A super clean stock interior can't be beat, maybe some aftermarket seats but that's it.

Don't care too much for the interior, but the outside look pretty nice.

The outside is so nice, seems like he would spend a little more time on the inside. The shinney dash just looks stupid to me. And loose the freakin steering wheel cover. BTW.......luisote, love you profile pic.

A lot of people rag on my steering wheel cover too. You need to realize that some people put it there just to protect the steering wheel from wear and tear. That's what I use mine for. And when I go to shows, it pops right off and goes under the seat.


And I like the outside (not too crazy about the stripes though). But the interior, as stated before, is overdone.
