Re: finally painted it

Can't tell much from the pixellated downsampled pics. Can you post some pics that haven't been downsized? What the hell is going on with that front bumper? It looks like a huge block was added and stretched the middle further down than it's supposed to go. That is odd for sure

hmm... I dont see anything wrong with that bumper cover, it looks like the one that my neighbor has on his 82 Z28.

paint looks good from what I can see but the pics are pretty low quality.

I have agree with 327. I'm not knockin' what he did, the paint looks good, but that's not a stock GFX, is it? Compare the nose to the pics that the board has(at least not stock for '89).

He must have had the camera on a different aspect ratio, look at the door way of the garage, Looks like its 6.5 ft tall and only 16inches wide.

That is an OEM front bumper for a camaro. It came stock on the 82-84 Z28s. If the car is an 89 then it should have the bigger one but the one that is on there has not been modified.

Re: finally painted it

Yeah, I see what you mean. It is from an earlier Z. I'd like to try and paint my car this year. Hope it turns out as well as this!
