Get the lift kit out of the back of the car and it'll look pretty good!

Re: my car after paint
I really like the color, but DAM* the back end of that thing is RAKED out! I know that things are different in some countries, cities, states... whatever, but that is TOO much!! One the best things about the third gen platform is they are designed to handle well, and when doing that to you car you loose all of those benifits.
Loose the air shocks back there.

Re: my car after paint
Dude, I'm proud of you for having a Camaro when it would be SOOO much easier for you to have a rice rocket over there. Congrats on the new paint job ... and, while I'm not a huge fan of the rear end either, I say it's YOUR car and you can do what you want to with it. Don't listen to these fools. They don't even know how to spell "lose" correctly, and they were educated in a country that speaks English.

Re: my car after paint
GC - Ah you got me!!! I totally spelled that wrong- thanks for the lesson.
I totally agree on doing what you want with you car, but when it sacrifices one the best traits of our cars something should be said. Again I really like the color, and just noticed the shaved front emblem - I did that too!

Re: my car after paint
Wasn't trying to bust your chops on a little thing like spelling. I'm just proud of this guy for rocking a thirdgen in Saudi Arabia. I think we're all on the same page with the rear lift. And, proxemics, hood struts are pretty cheap around here. Order a set from the U.S. I don't think shipping would be too bad on a little part like hood struts.
Also ... totally off topic ... but I was watching a show on Saudi Arabia the other day. That place is awesome! Some of those hotels are ridiculous! And those man-made islands are beyond belief. I'd love to visit there someday.

Re: my car after paint
Wow, thats awesome to rockin a thirdgen in Saudia Arabia!
The rake is a bit much for me but if you like it that's cool!
Also, I bought my hoodstruts on ebay for ... $35? Shipped? Something like that.. not too bad at all and they arent very heavy.

Re: my car after paint
wouldn't that lift be somewhat beneficial drag racing?

Re: my car after paint
what method was done to lift the car? I was planning on lifting mine using spring spacers to gain about 1 - 2 inches more of clearance for exhaust purposes. How much lift is on yours??
also love the paint and the cowl... very cool, and may I recommend some white lettered tires, may add a little more to that area of the car

Re: my car after paint
keep up the good work man. Rock out that Camaro over there! A buddy of mine just returned from Baharian (sp?) and said all he saw were camaros and firebirds..
Keep up the good work, lower that rear down a hair, and youll have one of the nicest thirgens in the mid east!
