it's actually a very sharp pearl green if you like green. just not a color i personally like for thirdgens. there is alot of great things about this car minus it's flaws though if you look close enough.

why would they go to all the trouble shaving the door handles, turn signals, ground effect badges, and not shave the antenna?

interesting color. Not a big fan of the RAII on camaros.

one thing that drives me crazy with that picture is that the tires look really dirty. For the car being inside at a show...the tires should have no dirt on them....that just turned me off

lol... true i suppose. many of us, myself included would wrap them in plastic wrap while driving the car in to keep them clean. i brightened the picture up alot in order to see the detail so it makes the tires look really dirty, either way the tires in general don't fit the car but the point is to show something different.

carry on.

this picture was taken at the detroit autorama/world of wheels if that's where you were at. there were 5 thirdgens. 2 custom, 2 prostreet and one clean yellow iroc with low miles.

thats exactly why I got the 5" spoiler out back...to compensate for the size of the hood...otherwise the rear looks thrown off...


Love the color......Jeff, Im glad you finally decided to give in to raII hoods, and show us your new car at the same time


sorry I had to!

No it's not that it just looks like it may be damaged or sometihng....if you look closely it looks like all of the sudden where the spoiler should be the top of the decklid area like drops off..if that makes any sense.

I think the rear looks different cause your not use to seeing a thirdgen that low.

Love the tailights.

LOL.

The car has potential at least.

As long as it is not being considered "done" by the owner at this point, I like it.

I just get a kick out of the ra scoops on the trucks and cars.....then you get to pull up next to them and it's like you're insulting their manhood
