Beautiful. I love modernized 3rdgens. Having way too much money to spend helps a lot.

Beautiful. I love modernized 3rdgens. Having way too much money to spend helps a lot.
It's kind of a love hate thing I think. Obviously the car is beautiful, and incredibly well done. But all the incredibly modified professional builds that are all the rage lately? -I don't like 'em, including this one. They all look overcooked. Like they HAVE to go overboard with the design, and to be fair, they almost DO have to go overboard to stand out. -but that's not (in my opinion) in the best interest of the car. Now I'm all for modern features and performance, and sometimes that requires modifications. Bigger wheels (for brakes) and wider tires. Modestly flared fenders or widened quarters. One off lips (like the Detroit Speed DSE-Z) -Mods like those I like. Form following function. ...and then you throw in SUBTLE aesthetic mods. Things like the recessed center section of the roof on THIS Iroc, would be an example of what I'd consider a modern twist on an older car. I like cars like that. Cars that almost look original, but not quite. BUT....we all have our opinions, and that's what makes the world go round, right? This car is amazing, and I'm glad to see "our" cars finally getting attention. It's a great car, just not my cup of tea.

One thing that I DO want to call out though... -is the blacked out rear tailight and spoiler section. On my red 89, I actually did this with vinyl. The top of the rear bumper cover and behind the license plate, as well as the rear facing face of the spoiler. I loved the way it looked but it was too far from the "stock" theme of that car so I took it over after only a few weeks. Always liked that look. So cool to actually see it done somewhere else!!!!!

Got some cool things going on with that car. Not a fan of the modernized nose. And would have been more neat if it was drivable on the street. Show car only with that little ground clearance.

Mine is pretty close to that in terms of ground clearance. It's definitely drivable however you have to be cognizant of what you're driving over.

Re: GREENING AUTO 2022 SEMA IROC-Z

its a great build and more deserving of the chevrolet performance build over the incomplete garbage hoonigan put together. onlythng i can say i dont like is the hood line,the kitt looking opening, and the 84 lower grill looking opening on the bottom. without those car would be killer.
