Re: Post pics of your factory look 3rd gen
Thanks!!!...My car is a re-paint also, (1999)...the car really looked like sh*t when I bought it...the original paint was faded, clearcoat was peeling and the hoodbird was all faded and cracked!

Re: Post pics of your factory look 3rd gen
Great thread! My favorite thirdgen look is stock or what I call "stock plus" - a stock bodied thirdgen with mild mods, like tint, exhaust, tasteful lowering and wheels (no wild paint, scoops, flares, body cutting, etc.).
Here's my 1991 Camaro B4C LB9 T5... Around 19k miles... yes, I drive it frequently! Original Gatorbacks in the attic, currently running Firestone tires. Has a different muffler out back... stock unit in the attic... has a hidden iPod amplifier behind the factory radio delete panel... drives like a dream but the AC is getting a little weak, needs a recharge.

Re: Post pics of your factory look 3rd gen
Not the best quality Pictures (too low resolution?).
Pictures taken mid July, just finished polishing my all original ws6 trans am, lb9.
My daughter looking forward to driving without the t-tops..
It`s not everyday I drive without T-tops at Lillehammer, Norway.
At this particular day, we actually drove up into the Mountains, way above the tree line.

Better quality..
The last mile going to our cabin, it`s dirt roads.
The only thing not original is the american Thunder exhaust.
100 000 miles.

From day one I always wanted clean paint (no decals) and a taller wing!

Re: Post pics of your factory look 3rd gen
These are not pro quality pics. Just my iPhone camera. I bought the car several months ago, and these are the first pics I took. The first is in the service drive of a Buick dealer 30 minutes after I bought the car from a seller near by. Had to get it checked out for the 200 mile drive home. The next two are at work, the day after I drove it home. Other than those little mud flaps behind the wheels (and the tires, of course) the car appears bone stock, unmodified and not customized at all, down to the factory exhaust and radio. Hard to believe an F-Body remained this original through at least three prior owners! 64K miles

You can't improve the look of our third-gens. The design studio got it right the first time.
