What do you guys think? My first stab at some custom fabrication.

It's the stock rs grille with strips of stainless steel glued along the edge of the slats, polished aluminum chevy emblem smack in the middle.

 

Looks Ok.
IMO reminds me of a razor. The emblem looks a bit big and bulky.
But my hat is off to you for trying something new.

 

+1.

 

It's better than the stock RS grill and it ties in your IROC rims. The bow tie is a bit big for my taste but may look better in person. Overall I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

 

Heres two more pics one from a straight on view and another one zoomed in from pretty far back.

 

ya, i'll admit the emblem is a little big...it was meant for a silverado actually. But it grows on you i actually like it better now then when i first put it on, and the upside is nobody will ever be able to mistake it for anything other than a camaro again

 

hey man if you dont mind could you post a side shot of your car . it looks like 18s and 20s.

 

I think it would look bad *** without the bow tie. Overall looks great!

 

yup, 18's up front and 20's in the back...and wow it is really anoying that they have that 1 mb upload limit on pics because paint isnt a great cropping tool for pictures bigger than your screen

 

Trust me.....The general public is not that bright. On the upside? They'll call it a Camaro, even if they don't have a clue!

Us Firebird owners CONSTANTLY get the...."Nice Camaro!" I've gotten to where I respond by looking any direction EXCEPT towards my Firebird..."Where? I don't see it. Did I miss it?"

 

ha ha yep you wouldn't think it would be that difficult to figure out the difference, my girlfriend is so clueless she still thinks my car is a mustang...

 

So somebody was complimenting your car and all you can do is insult them?

No wonder thirdgens get a bad rep.

 

OOOOHH HHHHEEEEEECCCK NO i"ll if some one calls my camaro a mustang haha

 

While being called a Camaro isn't an insult to my car, it is an insult to their intelligence.

Especially when TRANS AM is across a windshield & their looking at the front of the car......Nice Camaro, huh?


If you think my little reply can be the reason 3rd gens get a bad rep.... Your

 

Whats the width on your tires? And what spacers did you use? This setup looks good.

 

I am sure it is kinda annoying to have your Firebird called a Camaro. But I just don't see the point of making an a$$ out of someone that is giving you a compliment. Maybe next time they won't be so friendly to a Camaro or Firebird owner. Especially when the cars are 90% the same.

Anyway, back on topic.

 

I agree with Stephen on this one. The ONLY time I didn't mind my car being called a Camaro, is when Papa Johns was giving away free pizzas to Camaro owners...

 

the back are 255mm and the front are 225mm, as far as how they were mounted im not sure, previous owner had them on there already

 

i got a free pizza that day

 

HAHA! That's awesome! I only had one guy that I used to work with that always called my T/A a Camaro. I'm not insulted by it at all, but it was a bit puzzling since I clearly referred to it as a firebird or trans am many many times and he always defaulted to camaro.

 

That was a great day for Camaro owners. My local Papa Johns had 30+ Camaros outside by the time I got there. It looked like a car show.

But back to topic....It looks good. But the emblem just makes it look like you wanted everyone to know you drove a Chevy, without the hassle of screaming it out the window while driving.

 

iv actually have had people ask me if my camaro is an ferrari or lamboghini. lol

 

Was it Hellen Keller?

oh and a little bit of .

BTW, the front shots redeem it and i like it a bit more, the downside still being the large emblem. If i were you i'd go find a smaller one from a JY or something. But again, good inginuity (even if it does look like the new ford cars )
