you could go 4 wheelin in that thing. Thats why i dont like those large diameters. you either have to drop it on the stops so it rides like ****. Or jack it up like a truck.

Does he really have to drive it all jacked up like that? Or can he drive with it at a normal hight? Than interior is horrible. And I don't like the rear wing on that car, looks like it should be on a honda or something.

Man down south that is all the rage! DONKS is what they are calling them, and they mainly use full size old grandma cars to jack up. I bet that it was a lowrider on spokes untill the DONK craze hit and then they just nabbed the 24's of their yukon and installed some adapters.

Not trying to justify this, or even say it looks good, but this is not the first or last good car that will go to waste looking like an R/C car.

Its not my style and I think the wheels are way too big, but I can appreciate the ammount of work that went into that car. I guess as long as the owner is happy then thats all that matters.

I like the pinstriping accenting the body lines, and I like the spoiler although it is a bit tall. I also like where he mounted the cd changer.. although as a package it is not my ball of wax. You'd have to take your shoes off before you got in the car!

Alot of work went into making it, I can certinally appreciate that.

The size isn't what bothers me the most about the wheels, it's the butt-ugly cheap design. He could have gotten the effect he was going for if he stepped down to maybe a 20" and a more simple billet wheel.. this way he would still have that lowrider look, but look far more tasteful. Oh well.

there are only two good things.1) the paint 2) It IS a Camaro. but the wheels makes it look like S***, and besides, it takes the "Perfomance" look away. What a waste.

look at it this way, someday when that guy gets shot, there is a chance that someone can undo all the wierdo things and have a car that has nice paint.

not to mention once you put that much work into something, I bet they fixed any rust. In the end, at least it is one more third gen saved from the scrap yard.

If you got that car from a police inpound auction for 500 bucks. toss the wheels and gut it, you would have a great platform to start making a nice fast camaro.


but yeah this says it the best
