New pic folks... Still not a good shot. Next sunny day I get, I'll get a 360 shot of the car. Thanks for the feedback though!

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

Looks good except for the Camaro sticker on the windsheild.(Just me)..Love the color....BTW, by all means put the IROC stickers on if you like it is your car after all.....I really cant imagine worrying too much about what someone else like...Mine is going to be wearing Z-28 Badges very soon.....

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

Yeah, your wheels kill the look. The paint looks great with great shine, but them wheels, they gotta go. Too much the same color.

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

honesty is the best policy....

paint-

wheels-

iroc decals-


your car looks nice. but you need to make up your mind. either its an iroc or its an rs, it cant be both. if you really want to play it off like its an iroc, then get some iroc wheels and ditch those nasty painted stockers. if you want to just be happy with what it is, then peel off the iroc decals and leave it as that. personally, i dont like the idea of putting iroc decals on an RS. it makes all the real irocs, including mine, seem less "original". oh well, at least you take care of your car, i will give you credit for that. not trying to flame you man, but i agree with what has already been said on this thread

Great paint job, very original.

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

it looks like you put a lot of effort into that paintjob, it shows. i respect that. converting and rs to an iroc... im not a big fan of that but it could be because i love my rs. the wheels do need to go. get something still 5 spoke but like someone else said, a black rim with polished lip would look killer. spray your wheel wells black as well. it'll help out aesthetically

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

Thanks. I definitely understand where you all are coming from. I will probably remove the RS badges soon with silver iroc badges. I will however be keeping the 91 ground effects.

The camaro window vinyl will be off soon as well. I am very interested in selling my green RS rally wheels for some 5 spoke iroc wheels or something nicers. Any ideas, let me know.

Also, I'm thinking about a new spolier. But not dead set on it yet. Thanks for all the kinds words though. That's appreciated. There's alot of amazing camaro's on here. I'm going to look around now..

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

I actually really like the color keyed wheels and paint....but its not an IROC....deal. There is nothing wrong with RS, get some custom decals that say that instead and put them on

I totally understand where you all are coming from. But as you should notice, I'm ignoring all comments about the iroc decals and reffering to all comments about changing out the wheels with something different. I realize everyone hates it, but I don't. I think it looks fine, so I'm going to keep them. But I do think the wheels could be a bit different. Maybe there IS too much green?

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

I personally don't care what you have as decals if you like it whatever. since it is such a big deal why not take off the side ground effects and glass the spot for the badging and repaint them so there is nothing there. It would look better anyway. get different rims though iroc's or bigger. and at least throw in a 305. you could pass it off as an Iroc somewhat but when/if (although I am sure they will)these cars ever become collectors then it will be just like it is now, ALL IN CONJUNCTION OF THE ORIGINAL VIN #. and worth even more by veryfing rpo codes. there is my .4 cents

Give us a real idea of how it looks, not this cartoon crap. I'm sure it looks just fine without having to mess with the pics. Pics Please!

Re: Why do I think everyone will hate this?

You really need to just get rid of the sticker. while it looks good with the iroc-z sticker its not an iroc and if you ever try to show it to anybody who knows anything at all about fbodies they'll over look everything and tell you it looks rediculous with rs and iroc on it. Dont be ashamed of the rally sports anyway they werent always the base package and still are badass thirdgens. The paint looks great though its a different color and really appears to shine very well in the sun. any idea what paint it is, ie. paint code, brand and name on the color?
