91 Camaro back from paint

hey guys. ive been browsing this forum for quite a while and i recently became a member. i bought my 91 camaro rs in august 2004 because i had recently aquired my licence. about a month ago i decided to get the car painted. the car was previously a very light blue (almost a baby blue). the car is now a darker blue with black headlight pockets. i'm really happy with the way the car turned out and i wanted to share it with you guys. hope you like it.

Very cool looking, i suggest getting some clear sidemarkers and some new front turn signals and it will clean up the look a ton

Agreed. That would also look nice with one of those open grills. (like the ones that say "Camaro" and the ones that have the bowtie symbol) A new hood could also do a lot for it too.

You know.. that's nice and all but... just to shoot you down before anyone else gets to it....
You should have done this:
- shave the doorhandles
- shave the antenna
- left door moulding off

You need to:
- tint the windows
- get lowering springs
- get 17" or better wheels
- get z-28 or cowl hood
- re-repaint it black or red
- other small items missed someone else will point out

Then.. you'd have the perfect cookie cutter 3rdgen.
/end preset, automated responce of the boards/

j/f-ing w/you (I'm sure you've seen responces like that before anyways..)

It really is a nice, straight car though. You're lucky to have it for your first car and be able to get a repaint to boot.
Keep it looking good


Just my opinion ...

First off, awesome paint job.. Personally, I wouldn't have had the headlight pots painted, but it looks awesome.. I seriously like that look, and if I ever paint mine, I'll really think about doing that... It's the kind of thing I wouldn't thik of, but looks cool...

That said, get those dice off your rearview mirror.. Come on man...

EDIT: Oh, and clean off those front lights.. Or replace the lens.. Really detracts...

thanks a lot for the responses guys. id love to get the new lenses for the parking lights but i dont really have the cash now. i need new shocks and new struts before i do anything. i didnt know if i wanted the black headlight buckets or not so i asked my painter and he said the car would look so much better with them so i got them and am really really impressed
