heres my 88, it was my first car, got it 8 years ago when i was 15 and have been learning on it ever since. it was originaly TBI, then i went TPI and last summer i went to a carb'd set up, and it finally runs good lol. i did 92 gfx and taillights, smoked the tails, full exhaust, 4th gen leather, full stereo, Z06 rims, lowering springs, and loads more....

I like it man, I love those hockey stripes on thirdgen camaros! only thing I'd do differently is put on straight tips for the exhaust, IMO thirdgens can't pull off 4 tips.

I like the style of this car. I really do. I like how you blacked out your lights ( if you did it yourself ) and left the reverse light white. We did that on my friend's car, and i've wanted to see how it would look on a camaro. And it looks very nice, i may just do the same =).

Love the car though man

wulfgar the pen

why'd you ditch the 88 sports coupe spoiler, its a more original spoiler than the one you've got on now,

and it would have kept it original,

also love the hood, hate the louvres (i always though they looked bad)
and is that a sunroof i see or am i seeing things

and the rear bumber says camaro but the gfx say iroc,
......?

Nice looking car!! To me it looks like a 91-92 RS or Z28

bigdavesiroc

looks good....however i don't know if the camera angle or not but your stripes look off at the nose and front of the door. looks good overall. i too like the taillights.

1Aauto

Nice car,I like the louvers but then again I grew up listening to Whitesnake....LOL

maroman88

lol wow thanks guys... lets see if i can answer some questions here

im soso on the exhaust tips... but the shop welded them on after the did my fuel pump for some reason....

i did the taillights myself and they came out awesome

the spoiler is original to this car... dont ask me how or why the sports coupe spoiler isnt on it... ive had the whole damn thing apart and cant find any evidance of that spoiler ever being on here... weird... and obviously i didnt stick to anything "original" to the car

where does my rear bumper say Camaro??... the previous owner bought all brand new IROC-Z badges and i wasnt about to buy another correct set... hell they were expensive 8 years ago lol

the stripes are off... i couldnt find anyone with a set for 3rd gens and didnt wanna spent the money on a custom set if they didnt look good, so as a trial i worked the best i could a set cut for a 4th gen... im debating wat to do, there good enough for now

the car had louvers originaly... u could see the marks on the glass from where they sat, a guy localy was selling an original set CHEAP so i had to do it lol

k think i got all of em....

This car definitely sticks out, for some reason it even rocks the rear louver quite well, in which I am also a hater of the rear louver, but on yours it works.

Also, car definitely could be lowered more, or bigger wheels, or bigger tires, something with those is not looking right to me, which doesn't matter much.

Um, yeah the first picture looks beastly (aka good)

maroman88

those pics were taken just prior to the lowering springs.... i dont really have a good pic of it after lowering.. heres the best i got, and it was taken the day i lowered it... its deff settled some more by now



and new parking lights

RelentlessRS

So what did you use to do your own tail lights? Night shade? Or what? B/c it looks really good on your camaro.

wulfgar the pen

my bad on the badges, i agree they are stupidly expensive,

anyway it really does look awesome, its what i wish my 88 sc looked like,
and even though i've always hated the louvres, they look good with everything else on the car,

thats what the spoiler should look like, aas opposed to making it look like an iroc

maroman88

yep... i think i went a lil too dark, it was 3 coats of nightshade and 3 coats clear, i did 2 coats on my old 95Z and it still looked good but a lot more light passed thru

yea thats the spoiler it should have... lol who knows why man

my 88 sport coupe also has the same spoiler as maromans. i read somewhere that they stopped using the lowrise spoiler halfway through 88 and switched back to the normal 1

maroman88

ya know i thought i read that somewhere... ill have to check my production month next time i see the car

nice looking car minus the stripes

iroc1793

iTrader: (2)

The car looks real sharp, i really like those tail lights, wonder how theyd look on my blue camaro...

wulfgar the pen

hmmmm maybe your right, in which case, my bad,
i personally prefer the lowrise spoiler, you see them a bit less, a bit more unique to the year i guess,
either way it looks good,

Louis_84

WOW!!! I REALLY like your Camaro. You have me wondering if I should buy GFX and louvers, to make my 84 sport coupe like that!

And what hood is that???

maroman88

i think its called a twin turbo hood? i hate it but it came with the car lol

wulfgar the pen

looks good on the car though,

Maro man I did not know your car looked that damn good brotha

I love the hood(I have it on my car too ) I personally dont like louvers but they look ok on your ride, wheels are on point cut the tips off (they look good with em on but better without i think) im copying your hockey stripes when I paint my car.

Got any interior pics?

omnipotentgoku

iTrader: (1)

Do you have more pics of the hood, it almost looks like a jongblooed , could be wrong though... I thought the twin turbo hoods came with louve spaces... or was that the daytona's ?

robertfrank

iTrader: (27)

My car has the 88 spoiler and I actually prefer it over all the other ones. It has a more subtle less boring feel to it. I can't stand the regular fin spoiler (boring) and the high rise is alittle too gawdy for me.

Nice car. It looks like it's probably come a long way since you've gotten it. We'd love to see it at Thirdgen Fest. You can find out all the info through the link below.

marko3rdgen

love your car man!! especially those smoked tail lights im thinking of getting them done but idk if i should do it my self or have some one do it

its funny cause i also have that CAMARO sticker my pops got it for me ha

maroman88

its the twin turbo hood, the daytona had the louvers

i smoked them myself... 3 coats of vht and 2 coats of clear.
the sticker was nice, but its gone now

i have an 88 sc as well, and i honestly think i like the low rise wing more than the short spoiler. if i ever got rid of the wing it would be for the 5 inch spoiler. but then again i like the spoiler because even though there were like 60K sc camaros made in 1988, its the only year and the only model with that spoiler which in my mind makes it somewhat unique. camaro looks great, what style of louvers are those? im lookin for some and i like the way those look. some of them just stick up to much, i like the way yours is kind of.. shorter? lower? idk it just looks good. any brand name on them??

Klewis89RS

Your car is slick and I think the louvers are BA!

JJx91camaro

wow man that car looks awsome, with any luck when i get done with my car it will look half as good as urs

maroman88

they are good old stock GM louvers

thanks everyone

Rockyd

i really like your car man it helped me decide on my stripes as well

Your hockey stripes are awesome. I can't get over them when I look at your pictures, you HAVE TO HAVE the BEST damn hockey stripes on TGO.

You take care of that TA. Which will be my next car (02 WS6 White with red accents)

TheMonster

Hey, I would like to know where you got the rear window louvers you have. I would really like ones like that for my camaro but I can't find any.

Ca[maro]88

iTrader: (2)

theres a set on ebay right now for the louvers.

TheMonster

Yeah, I see them. If I could figure out how to use ebay in like 28 hours I might buy them. One quick question though, could I find them cheaper? And how hard are they to find?

Ca[maro]88

iTrader: (2)

they certainly not cheap at all. ive seen an 8/10 quality set go for 500 bucks.

TheMonster

Wow, maybe I will go without them, with $200 I can put my headers in. And then some. Sorry to get off topic, I just really like your louvers.

maroman88

i bought them locally for $50 and repainted them with black rustoleum, and they're GM louvers

johnny89345

what size tires are on it. also did you use the adapters to install them

bobbyk3lly

what do you guys think of my camaro? im thinking of getting these stripes, what do you think

johnny89345

get rid of that spoiler imo it looks like it doesnt fit the car

Your car looks awesome maroman88. I love the way you did your tailights and the hockeystripes. And thank you for risking your skin to save others as a firefighter.

GTAwheelman

car looks awesome i might try the night shade thing on my tail lights.

bobbyk3lly

thats the factory spoiler, i guess they came on the car in 88? but im having a problem with my car it smokes blue at start up and i need to know how much it is to have a set of vortec heads redone

nick6425

The 88 sports coupe originally came with the spoiler that's on it, the factory changed to the higher rise style spoilers later in the production year. His car could have been made before the switch. That is the case with my 88.

maroman88

just the opposite, they started 88 with the medium rise and midway thru they went to the 3 piece
