Aside from the spoiler id say it looks pretty sweet. I like the two tone going on, nice colors. Parking lights look different too, in a good way of course, im liking it. Nice work.

i cant stand those hoods, they look so freaking ugly, and unless you have a big block and no other hood would fit, you shouldnt put on that on there.

I wouldnt exactly think of cowls as the best hoods, but ive seen camaros that look absolutely amazing with them, and i think if he puts a high rise on his, itll look great. Just dont overdue it and get a massive cowl. The one on there right now seems perfect to me. A nice step up from stock no doubt.

why did you want that hood anyway, i never understand why people put them on 80s camaros, the whole idea of the car was to be sleek, and when the hood buldges up it puts too much attention on it and sticks out

first off, the stock flat hood is ugly, my toyota camry looks more aggressive than a stock camaro with a flat hood, 2nd, i like it, you can have your own opinion, its fine by me, do i agree? no. or i wouldnt have spent 440 for the hood. another thing about the hood that appeases me, is its actually functional, its not my fav hood, my fav is the ram air II but i dont want fiberglass. so this was my next choice. it also clears my strut tower brace, my stock flat hood bulged in the middle as it didnt have the clearance. but for your opinons guys, im undecided between the 91-92 or the 5 inch spoiler...well have to see...my next feat is the new seats on the way from hawks. ill post a pic in a sec.

your never gonna need that much air unless you plan on just drag racing it with a 572 big block, but i guess thats why those goofy things sell, just like kias, you make it, some hoser is gonna buy it.

these are the seats i ordered, pretty excited about them, my interior is tan with some black upper plastics (mostly stock) whiteface gauges etc, it should set it off real nice.

I like the cowl hoods on third gens! I prefer the Harwood hoods with no raised center ridge, but yours will look awsome too... once it is covered in paint! A cowl hood screams performance no matter what car and what era it is from. The grill, lights, and 91-92 wheels look really good.
Nice project!

Are you still painting cr^p gold on the interior?

83chevy- ok. thanks...its all about opinions. if i like it im going to buy it...do i appreciate positive feedback on my work? of course, but not all are going to like it. just be happy that you dont have to drive my attention grabbing, hoser driven, never ending sex machine...it might get you some unwanted attention, from the opposite sex. its all good buddy...

badnblck- nope no gold paint...i just wanted to do that on nelapse's aluminum door sill plates. its the stock tan interior with stock tan and black plastics.

I thought a while back you had some pics of painted gold stuff on the interior? Glad you are not doing that! Those seats look SIK, and will complement the car well. Forget about the nubie, and his/her over voiced opinions. We are all hear for one reason to shoot it about Third Gens, and not bash each others taste... even though sometimes it happens.

I like the 88 spoiler.It's subtle,low profile design really appeals to me.Then again I'm alittle biased.

Make sure you get that thing painted to match. Otherwise, it just does not look right. Here is a link to my car that is similar in color with a painted cowl.

yes the whole car should be getting painted when i get my tax return. i was also thinking gold heritage stripes would look cool but i dont know if its too much. also want to tint the windows limo black. got a lot of "wants" left. my car is medium metallic orange too, but it doesnt look to be the same as yours? could just be the camera, i know my digital likes to yellow things out, especially lights.

yeah 88 was the only year SC's got gfx, then in 89 they were demoted to RS's.

I think a 5in spoiler out back would be perfect w/ that cowl hood.
