Front end repaited

When I bought my '87 IROC-Z three weeks ago, the front end needed a lot of help. Chips, scraches, and dings in the nose...it made the paint look polka-doted! Well, yesterday I got her back from the paint shop and I thought I'd show her off a little.

Be kind! lol

The car is looking super-sweet.

I'm a long-time Pontiac guy, but some of these Irocs get me excited, too.

Damn that's a sweet ride. Black really is the best color for Camaros (with red being a close second).

Thanks everyone! I'm proud of her. Will be more so after next week. Addine headers, y-pipe, low temp. thermo, valve covers, polished throttle cable, and a few other goodies.

Looks awesome. One thing that takes away from it is the faded running lights. Fix those and it will look perfect imo

Hawk's has been really nice to me, helpful and good prices. So, I'm showing my support.

Tacky would be an APC decale! lmao

Im am looking to have my front end repainted also due to some rock chips etc.. How much did this set you back anyway? BTW, the IROC turned out great.

Thank you very much!
I had the nose, passenger door, spoiler, hatch, and quarter pannels all repainted (the nose was by far the worse area), and the 'camaro' bumper insert shot with clear coat, all for $850, but because it took them two days more than was planned, I only had to pay $800.
