Wow, that's got to be one of the cleanest 84s I've ever seen! Gonna miss mine.

The first thing I have had to do with ALL of my Camaro's is remove a HUGE bowtie someone put on the rear window! 3 of them and all the same Just seems to be the norm on 3rd gen camaro's up here, except mine

yes paint was 400 well 406 total 50 dollars for the dent they had to fix lil one on front drivers fender and i forget how much they added on for the black hood things and headlight buckets. its not the greatest paint job but well worth the money. they didnt remove anything to paint. sanded it down to a minimal rear bumper cover and front nose had those silver gfx stickers along the bottom they didnt sand them off but did on the rest of the car. scratches very easy but what do you want for that cheap

Thats still an excellent paint job even tho its cheap. My cousin painted his 87 GTA and it cost 7000 dollars! yikes i say. Even tho it looked perfect. Well he owns the BOdy shop. I like the Yellow lettering on your tires to Phantom. they look cool

when bought we had no idea what it was but we knew it wasnt original and what we have been told is that its a old small block 350 it is a v8 though lol. i ran mid 15's with it a few weeks back in 95* weather and 100% humidity. and by my fifth run i decided to start to increase the timing and gained a .1 2 times then i left and put the timing back down. im sure with some good tuning i can get into 14's

-edit it pulled hard until about 3500rpm and then it wasnt giving me nothing past there until it shifted

well they dont make them yellow no more so one was white for awile until i got a paint marker and fixed it monday. they suck in the snow thats why i have a lil scratch on the front right of the nose. but they look great imo not too expensive like 95 each. ive only seen one other car with them yellow ( idont think i would notice them white) it was a monte carlo ss newer ones and he kept them nice and clean they look cool in motion


thanks for the comments guys i know the bowtie lol thirdgens are kinda rare around here anymore so not everyone has one i pass maybe 2 thirdgens a week on my daily 9 mile drive to school
