It was awesome untill I saw the front grill and the tail pipes. The tail lights don't do much for me eather. But the hood it awesome!

Love the wheels, and as usual the front bumper cover looks like you had no cover and saw that and went eh itll do.

I dont like the fact that you look at the front of the car ..
you see the added front piece.. but then you see part
of the original structure .. If the grill was black you
probably wouldnt.

Its obvious now why your only performance mods are a muffler and a radiator.

no but i think it would be fair to generalize that pontiac cares more about all show when his signature has this in it:

"Performance: Flowmaster 40 Series Muffler, V8 Radiator
Styling: Carbon Fiber Style Wipers, 6% Tint, H4 Low Beam Enclosure, H4 Hyperwhite Bulbs, Dual Black Tailpipes
Audio: JVC KD-SX450 HU, American Legacy 6x9 (Replacing soon), Sony XM2200GTX 1200w 2-Channel Amp, Infinity 12" Reference 1230w Subs, Viper 350HV Alarm "

Ya but youve got to read between the lines. Pontiac was like wow i love the body kit whatever etc. Devilsadvocate was just saying ya chances are someone whos idea of a performance mod is a muffler is im not going to say it but very import tuner oriented. I agree. I just think the sarcastic ya screw him for having his opinion was uncalled for based on the fact that you can tell what devil is trying to say and subtly voicing his opinion that the body kit is lame and belongs on a tuned up import with a 10 foot wing, and i agree. But hey thats just how i read it

I'd hate to even hear what some of your guy's opinions would be on some of the mods I want to do that are in my head.
But hey, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look good. I think its gets boring seeing the same old third gen that looks like every other one out there. I can respect your opinion that you don't like that body. Everyone has different tastes. Also, don't think that I don't have more perfomance plans for the Camaro, I'm just waiting for that V6 to die so that I can put in something with more performance petional. Also, you should see my Trans Am's engine if you don't think I am into performance. I like some of the things that you see done to imports, like bodykits, projector lights, euros, ect. I don't think that makes me a "import tuner" as you put it. I love domestic cars, and I like them to get the same respect you see newer imports get. But you'll never get that with all the beat up, stock looking third gens I see on the road around here. Like I said though, I respect your opinion.

lol srry pontiac i shouldnt have made statements like that about you. Personally i despise anything that has crazy contours for no purpose other then for having crazy contours, because imo there is a point where it goes past just styling and becomes excessive.

I just took it mildly personally when mayhem made the comment he did because as i read id devilsadvocate ya was implying the whole ryce deal not getting into that but i thought he meant it in an almost joking way and that the response was a little harsh. In reality i couldnt care less and lets just let this little segment die. Lets let any comments after this be back on topic and about 2nV's car. Regardless im done with this because i dont want to be responsible for getting this thread locked

Well........... I kinda like the original black and red better..... but I appreciate the time and effort you have put into your ride. It's a real head turner.... whether for better or for worse, that's for each to decide in their own mind. Just do what makes you happy, you're the guy that has to look at it every day!

I would do it but I don't wanna future disrupt the thread. I just had to razz him.

Seriously though, I like the side profile, the stance, wheels, and paint look great, but I seriously really, really, really can't stand the front or back. Just my opinion.

What's your interior look like?

You guys aren't funny so stop trying to be. It's like watching a monkey trying to **** a greased balloon.


Iroc2nv, i'm glad you're happy with the results. I don't really like the front but I do like the wheels, stance, and paint. I hope I get a chance to see it in person this summer.
