it looks pretty good. you just need to get that hood to sit better , and on your driverside door the gfx on the door looks a little higher than the gfx on the car. But other than that it looks good.

I don't mind the lines of the car, except that I think you could get the hood to set better on the front. But I'm not a fan of that color. Bright reds and oranges just don't do it for me. The only exception is the early Vettes.

IMO, Firebirds look pretty good without any spoiler, but the Camaro just doesn't look right without one.
