Great job. I wish all people that owned a thirdgen treated it like u do. My buddy recently picked up a 89 Camaro RS for 250 bucks! Some neighbor girl didn't want it anymore and it looks crappy at first but after a clean hard wash and scrubbing the car looked great. It has the tiny V6 in it though but my buddy won't drop a 350 in it because he doesn't like camaro's. How dumb is that. He just wants to have it has a winter car. Man, I wish I could find deals like that.

You need to add something like a pinstripe or two tone it with a black bottom to make it reall stand out.

No dont do no two tone crap! but a set of wheels would do the trick, and a set of ground effects would REALLY help!
