those wheels are ghetto , they have to go

exterior is ok IMHO

interior is too but that white won't stay white for too long, slightest scratch will show on it , and any dirt will as well , even dust. Bad color choice IMHO but if it never sees daily duty I suppose it's ok.

The rims and taillights are overboard. Otherwise, it looks good.

That looks great! Looks like lots of hard work went into everything on your car. Everything looks quality, and that system looks nice! Keep it nice man.

Okay, I'm gonna be honest. I don't like the rims, the white interior door trim, the white in the hatch, the white on the lights, or the white around the license plate. The stripes are alright, not my favorite though.

But its your car so if you're happy with it, thats what counts.

I dig everything about the car except for the rims, they are not horrible just not my choice.

I like it, I agree with the wheels bing ghetto though. Maybe you should put the stripes on the decklid? I did on my T/A and it looks good. Here's a pic. I also opted not to do the bumper with stripews. Yours doesnt look bad by any means, but its just not what Id do on my car.

Thanks for your posts guys...Some of you think it is too flashy but remeber that this car is a show car only...and Hey MetalliCamaroRS is it me or do you have something against White seeing that your car is totally black and all
LOL White and Black stand out against eachother that is why I choose the colors for the interior and red and white just seem to fit on the exterior

Ciao

No, nothing against white, but you have a little too much white. I woulda left it with just the stripes.

I like the stripes but the wheels are painfull to look at..

That rear spoiler isn't a z28 spoiler,,, the wings stick out to the side. Where did you get it? is that the 'turbo' wing from Motion Performance?

Little overboard with the stickers on the tail lights, its starting to remind me of this kid who lives in a Trailer park near me who covered his whole car in stickers. The SS rims would look sweet or some nice chrome ones the racing stripes are cool though looks nice.

You're a Maverick in Automotive Design

I just wanted to let you know something. I am trying damn hard to build a third gen ... I am married and have four kids so money is always tight. When I first saw your car, I thought GREAT!!! ... because I am concidering doing a blue version similar in style to yours. Since I can't smack a Grand down for new wheels ... I thought I would go white ... the question is - Do you let others opinions guide you in a direction that you can't or don't want to go. Eventhough there seems to be an overwhelming vote for you to lose the wheels ... I personally think they look great. Would chrome IROC wheels or Tourqe Thrust II's look better? Well maybe, but what else can you do with a thousand bucks if your happy with painted rallys. Good Day.

I love it! Painting the stock rims is a great idea as a money saver. If you have the cash, I agree totally with Abubaca... put some Eibach Sportlines on there and get the white ZR-1 rims! The white lettering on the tires doesn't go with the rest of the car, I think, but all in all, an awesome job.
