The vert was down for some time for some upgrades and some technical issues. We finally finished her yesterday! I put back the fog lights (upgraded to HID Fogs). My buddy Vic also fabricated a nice little radiator mount with carbon fiber accents to match the hood. In addition, we added new strut/camber caster plates and upgraded a bunch of bolts under the hood. We are ready to cruise this summer!

 

What are you lowered on and how much tint did u use on the tail lights

 

Looks great as always, tell us about those new headlights.

Also, how do you like the Superram?

 

Luv'n the "subtle" touches.....look'n goooood

 

Cant wait to install my superram!!!!! Looking good!!!!! I always love those rims!!!!!!!

 

Car uses Global West springs. They were custom cut/tailored for the car. The rear lights were tinted with a clearcoat/black paint mix. I forget what was the exact ratio. Took me several times to get the perfect color.

Superram is working great thus far. The torque of this engine is amazing!

 

God your car is so clean! And everything is so custom... its the little touches that really make the difference. Gorgeous car and i hope mine will be able to hold a candle to yours one day!

 

Fantastic as always, a big fan of your work. How are the opened hood louvers- good idea?

 

Always loved your car. Looks fantastic!

 

Knock out car, man. Beautiful!

 

This car just gets better and better

 

 

Beautiful as always. But why won't anyone make those wheels!!?! I just don't get it.

 

Looks great as usual tommy !

 

I had always been influenced by friends that convertibles were for girls. Damn were they wrong. Quite possibly the sexiest thirdgen I've seen. Its clean and classic but obviously custom. Love it.

 

Lookin good. Any future plans for upgrades?

 

Looking really good, engine bay looks clean and mean

 

Hahah...I love that...convertibles are for girls...hehe!!

I still need to build a stereo system in the car. Something nice and simple!

The cut hood louvers look great and have an added benefit of releasing hot engine vents!

I don't understand it either. You would think one of these major players would want to make an iroc wheel that is different than others. Hell, make them in different sizes even!

 

Can u post some pics of your custom sub box?

 

Did you convert your stock fog lights to HID? That's something I want to do to mine. The stance is perfect BTW

 

Very nice indeed.

 

very nice! great job!!

 

Hi Mr. IROC-Z,

I don't know if you received the pm I sent to you, but could you tell me more about the wheels on your car? Did you order chrome irocs, remove the chrome and repaint? What company did you order from?

Thank you for any and all info!

 

Only in stupid 20" + sizes I hate the chrome wheels. If Oasis or any other manuf would make those wheels, hhell even just cast and machined, up to customer to paint the insets, I would have owned a couple of sets by now. IMO it's the only wheel design perfect for these cars, unfortunatly fugly chrome and silly sizes ruin the deal

 

yes love the wheels as i have chrome ones but its time to move on!! Great looking car man

 

Yes, the fogs were converted to HID's. You need to remove the internal metal structures within the fog's to make the HID's fit. It's a bit tricky but it can be done.

Hey there, Apologize for the late reply. I ordered the wheels over 8 years ago from a company called Performance Wheels. The company is no longer in business. The wheels came 'polished', but they were no where near the level I wanted them. We re-polished the wheels and painted the centers. The only way to really get these wheels now is to contact the couple manufacturers who produce IROC replicase and ask if you they can sell you an unfinished wheel (raw iroc wheel prior to it being chromed). It's a long shot but maybe it will work

 

Cool, thanks for the info! I kind of thought maybe you picked those up several years ago...

I already have an email sent to oasis wheel co. requesting a purchase of four unfinished IROC replicas that I will paint to match original GM wheels!

Thanks again for the info, and by the way, your car and all the work you have done to it are top notch.

Hopefully you can get a feature in Camaro Performers or GM High Tech magazine to show the public that there are some third gen owners out there doing mods and rebuilds the right way!

Once again, nice job on all the work you have done thus far!

John

Nice clean ride!

 

We need video clips! Looks phenomenal.

 

just keeps getting better with age!!

 

Here is a mediocre demo I took while doing a cruise. Be sure to watch it in 1080p! Be on the look out for a pro-style video soon!

Wow! That hood stands out like crazy. Sounds and looks super clean overall.

 

Car sound great, not too loud yet full of muscle, what kind of exhust are you running?

 

Beautiful. As always!

 

Thanks! Haven't seen you on the boards for a while? What's new with you and your ride? BTW, your engine is doing great in my car!

 

Your car is Awesome!!
