Nice, I love Blue camaro's with silver accented GFX. I think it blends together very well. Just one thing when you post a picture of your car, try to not have the car cut off like your picture is on the front end.

No offense to anyone here, just MY preference, but I dont like the stock rims on those cars.


The IROC rims on the car give it a nice touch. Looks great!!!!


(heh paint the gfx and you got a IROC look a like )

Huh??? I think everyone knows that those are IROC rims on there, IROCthe5.7L was saying he likes them better than the stock wheels which obviously have been replaced.

The car looks great for what we can see...you'll have to teach your father how to use a viewfinder and post some more. The blue rides are very striking IMO and the accent colors tends to make them stand out even more.

Looks very nice! I think its going to be cool one day when your kids ask what was your first car. You'll be able to say, "it was a Camaro." My first car will be a Firebird. Congrats to you!

ImportsRsloths-lol Read closely - Why be so harsh on your reply? What makes it funnier was that you just read the post wrong.

Thanks guys for your support. 88 WS6 TransAm GTA thanks for brightning up my pic ill put it in my sig as soon as the readers ride works. For some reason I can edit my car. The car needs some work. The rear tranny seal is leaking, gunna check the clutch then, wheeling bushing or bearing what ever it is messed up I think, need to put a cat on to pass emissions, and gunna put about a quart of paint on to fix a few little dings. If you look on the hood near the bottom you can see on. and on the left fender theres a nice gouge (SP?) but the reflection is blocking the view. Hopefully the engine blow up so i can drop a 350 in it.

Suggestions on what? How to mod it, how to make it quick, how we can help you blow lots of money, or what? From an appearance standpoint its hard to say without better pics and some interior shots. Tell us what you are thinking of, and we might be able to help you better.

Just clean your engine bay with Simple Green. when it's dry go over all hoses/black plastic with some cheap tire dressing that's lowest-gloss you can get (preferably Meguire's Endurance or Zaino Brothers Showcar Z16 tire shine).

I would get those wheels polished, and follow it up with a set of lowering springs... nothing too drastic... just to drop the front about 2" and rear 1.5" would work great.

car's looking clean though
