It's tough to decide between Blue's, and BryanJ's. I had to go with BryanJ, though. They are all sweet cars.

i must say that there are some beautiful cars here. i was really torn between john, bryan, and blue502. all were sharp looking rides, blue502 is an excellent looking car that definately stands out just enough; it's almost unfair to put somewhat stock cars up against him; but then again.....looks wise blue502 isn't that off either.

definately some nice choices.

The only reason I'm voting for Lance is because he used pictures I took way back in 2000!

There are some sweet cars though, voting for just one is too hard... sorta.

Oh yeah.. CASCADE CREW ROCKS!

Hard to compete :)

We will have to do this poll again in the spring after I get my car painted and some better pics done .. but I think it would still be tough to compete with Blue's car... then again he has had his car since it was new, lotsa time to "tinker" with it...I only got mine last summer ... hehehe.

I think Blue is the hands down winner!! I am just happy that someone thought my car was worthy enough to be included in the poll!!!

We are missing CarNDrvr's car..

I think if his car was in the poll, Blue502 would have a run for his money

Hey IROCZTWENTY

Well... I am painting my car because it is in need of a paint job. Although the pictures don't show it...the paint is not good. First. it's a bad acrylic enamel paint job, it was done 5 years ago by the used car lot that had the car. They bought the car from an insurance auction because it had the front driver's side munched in. They replaced the nose piece, driver's side front fender, and fixed the rad support. Then to make a quick sale they gave it a half a$$ed paint job. Today the paint is full of swirl marks, scratches, little bubbles, and over all not good. But the pic's look good

I will be giving her a proper paint job... base clear. Plus I will be doing a small mod by shaving the antenna, new IROC-Z door emblems, etc etc. My paint guy does awesome work and gives me a real good deal.

My only decision now is to decide on what color to paint her. I am torn between Viper Blue or Arctic White. I love both colors... I love Viper Blue and after looking at Bryan's car I love it even more. Then on the other hand I really like the clean white color of an Arctic White!!

Decisions Decisions!!! hehe

Yeah, he did. Although Lance's car has the subtle things that puts it over the edge, which is why his is a trophy winner. You might have to look twice to notice the little things he has done to that car.

87ROCZ - Viper Blue! Or, Artic white with Blue stripes? Either way it will look kick *** man

No stripes...IMHO

... I don't know but I don't think stripes look right on a 3rd Gen... but that is my humble opinion. I think cleaner lines are better for our cars. Well at least my car ...
1st Gen Camaro's: yes definitely stripes look cool...

2nd Gen's: Nope don't look right,

3rd Gens: Ditto, don't look right ,

4th Gens: Hummm jury is out on that one, maybe on the Camaro, not on the Firebird

But that is all IMHO ... I think I am leaning towards Viper Blue now, it would be less hassle to paint than a complete color change and BryanJ's car shows me how good it can look!!!
