Brand new and need help

Hello everyone I'm brand new to the site and to camaros. I'm about to become the proud owner of a 1990 camaro and I want to put work I to it and make it look nice. Although I have searched ally like amazon, Ebay, rock auto, ect I cannot find parts for them. Where do I go to find parts like spoilers/wings and different accessories parts

There are hundreds of parts over all of those sites. What specifically are you looking for?

Re: Brand new and nerf help

Welcome to TGO.

Obviously Ebay is a good source.
Hawk's Motorsports is good too, but they won't be the cheapest. There are other smaller thirdgen parts places too. Just google thirdgen parts.
Year One and other resto places have lots, but it can be hit or miss as to what is available for our cars. Prices are often high, and quality is sometimes questionable.
I've had real good success with the classified boards here, and using Search Tempest to scour craigslist regions throughout the country.

Used factory original parts are often cheaper and better quality, and often don't require tons of work. Sometimes you'll need a little elbow grease.

As for taillights, I'm a fan a spray tinting. There are various methods from hack to professional, of course with varying results. Just do a search and read up on what's been done in the past.
