I saw this car at the lowrider car show on Sunday. Went with my bro, he is really into 64 Impala's and lowriders. It was actually pretty cool I must say.

Anyway, I saw this crazy 91 RS there. It's totally a show car, freaking brakes and what not are all dipped in chrome. I find the painted dash a interesting part...I can't imagine what he put into the paint alone, kinda nuts to do for a 3rdgen. But hey, if you love your car that much then I say go for it!

 

Man did the paint look awesome live?

 

To each their own, but I can't see spending 100k to build a car that can't be driven, too many piles of junk with no insurance on the road.

 

How they get the dash like that do they put fiberglass over it or how i would like to paint mine.

 

interesting car nonetheless not my cup of tea but you can see a lot of time put into it. Hey JR350TPI that 5 inch spoiler looks awesome..i want one soo bad!

 

Thanks i was gonna sell my thirdgen before but decided to fix it if you like follow up on my thread my 91 RS project gonna post lots of pics there.

 

Ya the paint did look freaking awesome in person. Really the whole car did, although still not my style.

The dash appeared to have fiberglass over it and then paint. Although I have seen plastics and dashes painted before. You just have to make sure and prep it properly so it won't peel or crack.

 

Im gonna have to check how much they charge to six my dash like that because i love how it looks like that glossy.

 

Those guys are true enthusiasts, and always impress the hell outa me, put some nice rims on there and almost everyone except the "purists" would love it. I feel like listening to snoop dog right now...haha.

 

The dash is flat black so that it doesn't reflect in the windshield or in your eyes while driving.

 

What the hell is up with the engine!!? I know its early on a friday, but I cant make anything out, you took a picture of everthing but the engine LOL

 

The engine is just a stock 305 TBI, but it's totally chromed out, I mean everything! It's strictly a show car. The brakes are all chrome too, it's pretty crazy. Sorry about the pics, all I had was my cell phone.

TwinTurboROC1, I agree, that guy put tons of money etc. into that car because he loves it to death. I know it's just a 3rdgen but if you love your car enough who cars. I give him mad props even though most of it is not my style.

 

Why that horrible grille?

The stock brakes look so *****. Why would you do all that, but then skimp so hard on the one area that would actually give some performance while looking awesome by blinging the stock brakes?

Meh.

 

Because he is not worried about performance ...obviously

 

one thing i learned about lowriders, its like a culture thing, and for their culture its all about that lowrider look, not hp or performance, maybe in 2 years they will all have 8-71's stickin outa the hood. when i came out w my black rims everyone hated on em, except a few old school guys (mopar) who had those on their cars, now same guys who were hatin' got some version of black rims...then the colored lip...same ****...got love from the import guys, now lots of colored rim lips. it all just whats accepted at the given time. personally not my cup of tea, but punch for punch those guys put just as much effort into heir cars as we do, that can be resected, and props to him for having thirdgen, the way i look at it, were the forgotten generation of the f bodies.

 

so you want him to buy a nice baer brake kit take it all to get chromed and not use them? might as well do the stockers. he doesnt drive that car obviously.

 

i dont think they can cuz most of the knock off "lowrider" rims are like 13"s 14"s i think the baer rotor-clots are like 13"

 

i know that im agreeing with you man no point.

 

Not my cup of tea but does look nice . And it does look like it is driveable as the rotor looks like it does see use . The only chrome on the rotor is the adapter for the wheels and the caliper and the spindle from what I can see in the pictures .

 

What's wrong with the grill?

 

some serious green, third-gen love goin' on there!

 

I'm with darkshot never been a fan of the RS grill.

 

Yup upon closer inspection I do see that too. So I retract my previous statement.

Maybe he likes the grille. Ya think he could have had a custom one made from steel then chromed out or something..that'd be trick.

 

Whatever, I love the RS grill! Looks so clean, plus you can't even get the damn Z28 fog lights anymore! And I have seen a RS with the grill painted body color and it looks so sick and clean. Even TraviZ has my back on that. I plan on painting mine body color

 

Was it that red car on the cover of a Camaro performers magazine? It looked good. I havnt decided if I keep mine or not when I paint my car. How do billet grilles look on these cars?

 

Yes sir, you are correct. Personally I fell in love with the RS grill painted body color.

 

I think if you had a solid color car it would not look good but a car with stripes or something would look good

 

Maybe so, but that's your opinion. I am still going solid color though.

 

Yup man i'd like to see it. Im just picturing it. Not saying it would look horrible or anything! I totally fell in love with that car though. Same hood I have.

 

Ya I wouldn't mind having that hood at all. I plan on either going Z28 hood or that hood. Also plan on doing the high rise Z28 spoiler With all that and the body color painted grill I think it will look sick!
