If I could see any pictures, I would give you my opinion.

edit:Hmm...stupid Firefox browser doesn't even give a placeholder for bad images. Used IE and copied the image location and pasted in new window and that brings up the photo, but still no image in your post for me. Don't know why.


Tint looks great! I haven't been too fond of that rear visor, but on a black car with dark tint it's growing on me.

CarDomain must be down for some reason. The pics are linked from there.

What he said. Tint looks incredable, window thing looks tacky... Though aadmittedly, in the second pic, it looks cool, as it pulls the sail pannel line back...

It took me a few days to get used to it but after having it on there for 12 yrs i can't imagine the car without it. I don't think it would look as good on a different colored Camaro. Any photoshoppers out there?

Not a fan of the rear window visor, or spoiler, or those chrome looking things around your door locks. The tint looks great on your car, it kind of brings everything together.

2) The black tail light covers ... do you have to remove them when it gets dark and ya need to use the tail lights.. or what ?

Yes, I made the covers and no i don't have to remove the tailight covers. Florida is pretty leanient when it comes to stuff like that unless I get stopped by an officer in a bad mood.

Tint looks really good on your car bud...looks real nice!

But, I'm gonna have to go with majority and say that the window wing thing looks odd when you don't see many with it on their cars...just a little bit "different" ya know?

Keep the car nice man!

Eh, I don't really like it.

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as "too much black."

I don't want to start a flame or anything... but the chrome r*cer wheels and out of place "wing" don't help matters any.

I'll go out on a limb now too and say that it's only a matter of time before a cop makes you rip of that tint.

Thanks yall. I see most of you don't like the solar wing. I was wondering whether to remove it or not. I guess I can use it to make turn signal covers.

I could live with the spoiler the window shade thing has gotta go and the door lock cover but everything else looks tasteful.

I really like the front covers for the headlights you made i remember a post about them...though the oval lights dont really match a third gen in my opinion they are pretty unique and creative.

get that SS hood painted!

If you'd lose the spoiler and window shade, I'd have to say that is one of the finest third gen's I have ever ever seen. Wow, you're car's a beaut

That's a nice ride, except it looks like the kid just slammed on the brakes and car is about to flip over forward!

On the tint, I think the car looks very nice, however where I live, cops would pull you over daily untill you had a pile of tickets. It screams, "Hey, I'm doing something illegal in here, and you can't see me! Neener, neener nee ner!" I think the solid black looks cool though....... just not for me!

tint looks awesome, I am to afraid of getting something that dark though. I don't want to spend all that money for nothing. Do you have any close ups of your hood pins?

My car looks like that?? Or his???? I think you mean the rear end looks high, I have I jacked up with air adjustable shocks. Everyone else is going for the lowered look, I am trying for the vintage muscle look. I guess if you want that thirdgen to scrape even more than it already does, by all means lower it!!!!

I hate the jacked up in the rear "look". First and second gens can look okay with it, and thirdgen SC's can but ground effects and air shocks= ugly.
