Thanks! The wheels still need to be cleaned. I havent done that since the car has been sitting so long in the pain shop. But the wheels do clean up nice. The hood is a 2 3/4".

nice car man. i get mine back from the paint shop tomorrow so i know how you feel. and my rims are the same, but i am using WELDs now. but anyways.
i noticed something that didnt fit right in my mind, the IROC-Z door decal, its grey, you should buy a red one since the stripes in all. just an idea, and they do make red rocker ones and bumper ones also. just a thought!

Looks real sharp. I also agree about switching to red decals. I can't tell from your picture, but do you have the bowtie grille or the "camaro" grille? Anyhow, nice car.

Thanks for all the good replies. Im glad everyone likes it. The grille is the "camaro" one. I painted the letters red to match. Also regarding the red decals: I was going to do that originally but i just started running out of money. If i were to change to red decalse i would have to get rocker panel emblems and rear bumper emblems to match. Im still considering it though.

Hey 87Iroc-Z, you didn't post your interior pics on NEThirdgen, it looks really nice. I've never been partial to a red interior but yours caught my eye. It looks damn sweet.

hey,
I went to your webpage to see your other pics, but somehow they did not show(some of them). I was wondering if the racing stripes are all the way to the back end of the car or did you just get the hood painted with the stripes? thanks
