Took some new pics today

I took a few new pics today of the IROC. I finally got the GFX put on. I still need to do some final fitment, but I figure since it won't go out to paint for a while, Its alright.

Yes, its now 3 colors, so...... SHUDAP! (I've heard it enough already from the wife )

Let me know what you think. The car is mildly torn apart right now. I originally started to tear out the interior to make way for new black panels, but then realized that my carpet needs to be replaced first... BUT, since I'm not replacing the carpet until the car's painted, I've decided to just leave it all torn apart, especially since I rarely drive the car.

Anyhoo, here are the pics. I'll attach the first 3, and then see about putting the others on my webspace:

Ultimately, the car will have a high-rise 91-92 wing, Cervini cowl hood and it will be painted Copper/Burnt Orange/Metallic. The IROC logo on the doors will be moved to the back of the door (like the 88-90's) and the Z28 emblems on the rockers and rear bumper will be 1992 Silver ones. Wheels..... haven't gotten that far yet!

Interior will be mostly black with a 98+ Camaro dash.

Hey man who cares if its 3 colors! Right now mine is 4 and I drive it everyday I also am doing the 91-92 gfx conversion. Yours is looking great. Do you have any problems with the door gfx rubbing with the rocker gfx?

It's looking good, atleast the body's straight and ready to go. Yeh, mine is also a spectrum of colors. Between work and school time is scarce, but considering the store I'm working at is closing in the coming weeks and school is over in three weeks I will finally have some unwanted time to paint it. I laughed my a** off when I got a parking ticket at school and the ticket had the car's color marked as "other"

I do. Mostly because of my door hinges. They are pretty well shot... I thought at first that it was the GFX fitment but after enlarging the holes on the doors to just about 3/4 dime size, I decided the hinges were to blame! Gotta fix that before paint

Its a tight fit, but it'll do for now. BTW: Got any updated pics of yers?

Probably not... You'd have to strap one in your car with a racing harness... either that or use a sippy cup...

Drinks + G Force = one big mess hehehehehehe

I love those seats. I didn't feel clean after getting out of the car with the old ones in it. I had to take a shower after every ride. Now we just need to do the carpet and door panels.

the only thing i hate about 4th gen consoles is the cup holder. I have a perfect interior and no one ever eats of drinks in my car , if it wasnt for the cupholder i would do a 4th gen console in my ta.

Whats wrong with it? Its not just great for cups, but change, keys, whatever. I mean, its a 1000000x more appealing just in appearance alone.

Are you going to get a 91-92 front valence to match?

in a mulit-colored camaro the only beverage you need to worry about fitting in the cup holder is a 24 oz. bud tall can

Looks like it's coming along well.

The more I see silver 91/92 gfx on other color cars, the more I really like it. I was seriously thinking about repainting my GFX in silver when I had my GTA wheels, with the silver SS wheels now I think it might be too much silver on the bottom half of the car. Polished IROC wheels would also look smooth with silver GFX.
