Not bad! Definately adds some detail. Not crazy about the yellow paint on the tails though.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
SO sexy! I love it. Glad you decided to put something on the cowl. Whered u get the letters btw????
You need something in the back now. Maybe some pinstripe art, or something on the spoiler.
It turned out alot better than i was expecting, Very very cool.

The hood looks fricken awesome but I'm just not feeling the stripes on the side (of the car that is, the ones on the hood look awesome).

Thanks guy's...I did some work on the car but the brunt of it was done by the speedshop, the headrests were done from an ulpostery shop here in Toronto, the letter are from www.youremblem.com...and the hood is a Harwood

I have the same Harwood hood on my Z. Some have their opinions positive and negative. This car is simply awsome from nose to tail.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
Beautiful! If I had a camaro instead of my formula i'd want it to look like that. The strips on the sides, and cowl flow with the body lines PERFECTLY IMHO. Great job. -Bob

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
Yeah, I like my Harwood hood it just seems to flow well with the car. It also looks good on my black car. In fact I've seen them on many colors and don't remember a bad looking example.

Man I've come back to this post several times. This IROC is awsome, probably the best I've seen in a long time. This Z is in the same class as Kandied91Z which has one awsome car.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
I agree...your car and KandiedZ are the two best Camaros I have seen on these boards. Sure everyone can nit pick this and that but I would not change a thing. Inspiring to keep going on my cars.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
there is no question that you have an amazing car. As far as the exterior goes, I wouldn't change much. The interior isn't my taste at all, but still, gorgous car, man.

Indeed... very nicely done.
Be careful though, mate: You are riding the line of tasteful and tacky.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
maybe that was supposed to be concur?
Anyway I'm sure the color representation from the camera is loads different from in person. I'm seeing brown and blue in spots and I know it's black lol could just be my laptop though.... love the paint concept anyway, car has always looked amazing.

I deleted it...I now have manual brakes
That will be it for cosmetics on the outside...I'm done, no more stuff on the body
Pictures dont do the car justice...you have to see it in person that for sure

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
I haven't seen any other car that painted the inners on their tail lights the same as the body...that's why it's called custom
Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
That car just plain looks amazing. I'm still in the process of finding my camaro to get started and it's cars like yours that give me faith that something can be done about some of the faded and beat down cars that are up for sale.
Not that I'm saying your car was ever as bad as those, but it diffenately shows what can be done with them with proper care.

Re: Update: Stripes are all Done!
Great looking ride.
I'm kinda iffy on the side stripes, but what are the 'emblems' on the front fender/bumper that break the stripe?
