Not my style but I give you A+++ for your effort. Youv'e heard it a million times...all that counts is if YOU like it. Don't spend your money for what other people like.

I'll give you credit for you effort but please some better pics man. I am sorry for my comments i was in a mood I know how it is to put countless hours on somthing for somone to bash on it its not my taste it seems liek the air dam could uses more fiberglass i think a rock would break that thing other than that good effort.

I dislike the spoiler & front clip... they look toooo much like something you'd find on imports (look at fast and the furious)... i don't like that look. and the rims are a bit too much "bling bling" for a car with a totally black paintjob... oh and the exhaust tips :/
other than that it's cool

Well, the way I see it Crazy, if you post a pic of you car, you better be prepared to get both positive and negative comments. Negative comments shouldn't be taken wrong, he should have been ready for that. Like I said, I don't really like the spoiler, but the creativity and effort are great. -89IRO

I think that car is bang on...the spoiler is like what i wanna put on my car, i prefer the stock front end on my Z28 but it looks ok. Other than that its awesome.

thanks again guys for the comments...aside from the idiotic comments from a certain member with a white camaro everything was ok..both bad and good comments, as to the structure and strength of the front bumper...its fibreglass which means it can take some pressure but not too much...a rock will definately NOT hurt it..unless a bolder comes crashing down the road...and even the stock bumper couldnt withstand that..
the bumper is actually from a concept for a 97 prelude and was stretched by the company i bought it from..*who hopefully will make me the poster car now for the front clip..* so thats why it looks so much like an "import add on" because basically..it is just that..

The black looks hella sweet man, great change. Does that spoiler actually serve a purpose other than looks? I am still 50/50 on the spoiler...im still deciding.

saw the clearer pics, I love the rims and the spoiler goes w/ the rest of the car. The black is beautiful, the front end looks expensive, and exactly how low is that car and what are you gonna do w/ the springs when you go to airbag your car?

the car is about 2 inches from the ground in the front and about 2.5-3 inches on the back..so it still has that muscle car stance..
the springs will most likely be crap when it comes time to do the swap so i will more then likely throw them in the trash..
iroc2nv..
ps..i only paid $250 canadian shipped when i bought the front skirt...(it was still a prototype)

I don't like the front piece, it looks like someone cut out the entire center of it. Also you have a large back end piece that dosn't seem to fit well with the very skinny front. The wing also seems a bit large or exagerated.
I am curious as to what the interior of your vehicle looks like. Do you have anything done to it?
EDIT: I also understand that this is the "street style" that is going on today. I can understand why you built the car the way you did. I just think that if you balance the front end of the camaro with the back it would look much better.

Actually, to tell you the truth, I never knew about that comment until you brought it up. By the time I came back here to see if you confused me with someone else, Metalli had already deleted all that crap. I'd like to know what you're trying to prove? You have no proof that I was defending that comment. And if I WAS, what is it your business? Get a life dude.
"gasoline and charcoal would make a nice kindling. "---That is all I have ever seen that has to do with fire on this board. I don't know if there is any more to it than that, but that wasn't what I was talking about, this:
"Its good there are a few people (FlynLow included) that like to try new stuff and stretch the boundries. Dont worry about the negative comments, it comes with the territory. Cant make everyone happy right? hehe. Some people just cant seem to grasp the fact that other people have different appearance tastes. "
Now, that was what I was writing in response to. Now that I have hopefully covered my ***, I will be on my way. Believe me if you want. Why did I write all this? Why should I have to prove myself to anyone on this board? Jees.

Alright, I can't keep babysitting this thread.
iroc2nv- I apologize, but I'm locking this. I'm sure plenty have seen the thread, so we all know what your car looks like now.
I tried to keep it clean, but some people don't wanna keep it in PMs so I'm closing this.
Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether good or bad. And with a third gen with such new and extreme body modifications like that, 98% of people will not like that. People are going to flame it, and I'm sure you'll get used to it. But I cannot force people on here to sugar coat their opinions just to be nice. Sure, its common decency to nicely tell you they don't like it- but some people are gonna tell it to you straight up and they'll let you know just how badly they dislike it. I'm sure if you take it to a non-import car show, you will hear all kinds of nasty comments- thats just the way it is.
I hope you understand. If anyone has any problems or concerns, my PM box is ready for the hate mail cause I'm such a nasty mod.
