Camaro vs IROC-Z

I've got a new project on the go which will involve swapping out the drivetrain that's in my 86 IROC-Z and putting it into a plain 87 Camaro hardtop.
While my current ride has lowering springs and the traditional 16" IROC rims I've never seen a non GFX car that's been done this way. Lots of drag cars with the big and littles though.
While I'll probably convert the new car to the IROC trim I'll drive around the first season in the original steel.
Any pics of a lowered Camaro without the GFX?

You have already seen mine...but here is the picture in case anyone else is interested. 17" ZR1 wheels, with Eibach Sportline lowering springs:

I have to say that's one of the finest examples of any 3rd gen. Very clean.

Agreed, I generally don't see good examples out their either. This is impressive. Post up more pics please.

Here is a link showing the progression up until today:

...and here are some additional pictures. I need to take more current pictures with a better backdrop than my garage.
