Other than the bad pics, i'd say if you got a spoiler that fit the car a bit better, and a decent front clip, you'd have one nice looking ride.

First off, get a pic with some DAMN LIGHT........

What color is that??

It's odd, because your car looks so much like mine....

WE NEED BETTER PICS.....

I like your car a whole lot more now that it's painted one color. The front ground effects on your car reminds me of the late sixties, early seventies, mach 1 front ground effects. Pretty cool looking. I think it would look better if the nose itself wasn't open like it is in the pictures on your website. I can't tell if you've done any work on the nose itself after the paint job, from these pictures (too dark). I like the hood and there's something about shiny chrome rims on dark cars that I like. I don't care much for the spoiler.

Well, the solid black looks a lot better. The wing is ugly, too big and wide. The nose still looks terrible to me, as does that bumper with ugly exhaust tips. I do like the taillights blacked out with the reverse lights left clear. I like the hood, and the clear side markers are nice too. The rims aren't too bad, but not something I'd put on my car.

Just my opinion though, its your car. I still wouldn't "NV" it though ;-)

My guess would be a torch or a cut off disk from the looks of the car.



DEFINITELY not my style. But, like others said.. your car.. your choice.

ok well... what i do nto like is the wing, and the front bumper cover, rear bumper cover, those ugly *** exhaust tips/mufflers, are those that dam ones they always have on like VW's, YUCK!!!

and that dam wing, other then that its a dam clean car, i think with the stock parts back on it it would look cleaner, but that bumper covers just dont match the lines good, and that wing is... well your car, your choices.

Well I have to say I am a bit disappointed in some of the comments here in this thread, either alot of you are jealous, or plain out jerks. I took those clearer pics myself at the Camaro Nationals here in the Niagara Region. This car of Iroc2nv's is very clean and a great job was done!

I applaud your effort. If people didn't dare to be different, things would get pretty boring. However, yours is a difficult look to pull off, as there is a fine line between beauty and failure. Maybe its just me, but it seems as if the rear bumper does not balance well with the fron t bumper. Have someone photoshop on a 91-up rear bumper on and see if that evens things up. Also, the front end would look alot more agressive looking if you make it look less flimsy (I could see straight through it on the 3/4 shot). Try making an aluminum bellypan for the front clip that extends even with the furthest point on your nose (but curves so its not square). This will enhance the looks dramatically. You will encounter much trial and error before you get it right, but the end result will be well worth it. Dont give up and keep us updated.

i hope its clean enough for you chachi.

some of us didn't spend our money on spoilers, they came equipped on our cars stock because they were fast to begin with.



but ill be a nice thirdgenner and wave at him. hell, ill even shine up my taillights or maybe even replace them with some better condition ones so he has something nice to look at.

i grew out of transformers in 3rd grade.

It is not how i would do my car. But, it is something different. And i appreciate that. Better than "check out this camaro" posts that show nothing than a bone-stock camaro in better than average condition. Somebody posts pic's of a boring 100% original car and everyone goes: Great, nice looking! and so on. But if someone displays a car that is a bit overdone, everyones pissed and upset. Remember, this is forum is called "appearing and detailing". Obviousely most users would prefer "Original appearing and stock detailing"........
Iroc2nv: I like the low stance, the rims and the taillights, the rest is too much for me as well.

it looks too "machine" like for my tastes. i like the a more smooth look. nice change from the stock form though.

you know what would be a cool front spoiler... if someone could adapt or make one from a 4th gen..... think about it... 4th gen front on a third gen.... might look pretty sweet.

looks pretty okay to me. i applaud all the effort and time you've put into it.

the front clip doesn't really feel right to me... the way it goes down&back instead of just down, it makes it look very pointy.

but i only dislike it in the same way that i dislike 91-92 trans am front-ends. i wouldn't go as far as say you've ruined your car ..because in my opinion, you've created something unique and (from what the pictures tell) quite clean.

get a friend with a digital camera to snap some photos so we can all get a better look.

IROC2NV- I am sorry, but I'm sure you can see why I have to close this thread.

Cruzin Kaz- You are right, he did not ask for opinions. When I first saw this thread, I was going to lock it right away just because I knew eventually it would turn into a flame war. But then people would have complained that I locked it for no reason. So I let it go, and look what happens.

Anyone posting pictures of their car can expect opinions, even if they don't ask for them. You've seen enough flame wars on here, you should know that by now. Also, not everyone is going to like when people do such extreme appearance mods to a third gen. A lot of people on this site (myself included) prefer a mostly stock looking car (exceptions being hoods, tint, and rims) with go fast goodies to extreme mods mostly seen in the import scene. While his car may be clean and well done, it simply is not something a lot of people are going to like and I'm sure he knew that before he started on it.

Its his car that he put his money into and he is proud of, and that is all that matters.

If anyone has any probelms with me locking this, or other concers, PM me. Thanks.

Okay, I have cleaned up the thread as I saw fit.

First- If I edited your post or deleted it all together, there was a reason for that. I understand that everyone has opinions and everyone is entitled to state their opinions. BUT, there is a right way and a wrong way to state it. If you do not like the car, or something about the car, simply say you don't like it. If you want to, give a reason, such as how theSteve and Dingley did. MelloYello even gave some advice on how to keep the same basic look, but just improve it a little.

There is NO need to say "I hate it and I hope you crash it and die" or somthing like that. There is also no need for stupid images that get posted on every forum on the internet.

Keep it clean guys. IROC2NV knows not everyone will like his car, but it is HIS car and he has every right to show it off just like each and every one of you.

If it gets outta hand again, I will either delete more posts or lock the thread.

Thank you.

hey guys..
]
this is gonna be a long response :P

kaz..

thanks man..i really appreciate those pics you took at the nats...be prepared...i will win your sponsored class next year...or ill die trying!

as to the others...i do appreciate the comments...negitive and positive.. i have molded the car into what i think is the ultimate "show car" outside of the camaro shows...i still have some more things to do..(lt1 install plus my airbags with some other lil goodies) but im almost at where i wanna be..

92...i lowered the car with the eibach pro kit...and didnt like the stance...so..i heated the eibachs and dropped them like 3 more inches ontop of the drop they give you..

the front skirt cannot be made to look any other way..that is how it was made from the factory...so..it has to stay..unless i find another front end that i like and i incorporate it into my design...
i have altezza tails ready to go on once i find a clear lense..

thanks again guys..for both the negitive and positive comments..

the negitive comments actually fuel me to go wilder and wilder..

I really don't like the wing.

The back bumper looks cool, but as mentioned earlier, it seems to be unbalanced when looking at the front.

I like the black....the "lowering"....the wheels....and the back bumper.

I like it. It gets a from me. I like it when someone puts alot of time into their project. If nobody ever tried anything different, all the cars out there would look the same. 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.

Keep up the good work!
