not bad..... kinda cool..


i think you should have some silver tips on the blue flames or maybe make them metalic close to the tip.


not bad on the interior.... not my kinda thing but still look nice

Things I like about it:

- It's black
- 1LE GRILLS
- The darker blue part of the interior
- The subs

Things I don't like about it
- The side graphics
- The stock wheels
- The lighter blue part of the interior, especially the gauge bezel and vents
- The exhaust tips
- The extra stickers

I think it looks great, chome rims and exhaust tips would be the nex thing on my list, you could paint your wheels blue too but it might look childish.

That is the epitome of rice! What were you thinking when you put the side decals on and the blue trim on the dash. I guess your slogan is "All show and no go." No hard feelings though.

That paint job and "stickers" transcend rice.

hmm....the paint job is alright but it looks silly with those wheels, get some 18 inch chromes or something and oh yeah, get a Z28 you wasted all that time and money on a V6??? whoa

Well thank you all for your replies... Even though most of them were rude and made me realize how old all you people actually are.
I'm 18. I can't afford a Z28 and I only 'wasted' like $400 bucks on my car. I didn't want a plain black camaro cuz they look to average, so I went out and did something that made me happy. Im sorry I can afford a SS with a supercharger or 18" chrome rims!
If any of you actually have a problem with this, then buy me the mods Im 'suppost' to have. Or hell, buy me a Z28 you *****s.
It's like you are discriminating me for being different?
Ricism. Racism. All the same stuff....:cool:

first off, dont worry what other people think, it will just drag you down.

second, the car looks good. i have a black on black z and it seems that everyone has one, so i am looking for that edge that will make me stand out as well. the interior looks awesome. i just ordered a set of aluminum interior trim and guage trim for mine and hope it looks good.

as for the wheels, they are the cheapest lightweight wheels you will ever find. weighing only 32 pounds for $500 with tires, that aint bad.

Why is that, the guys with the rice comments never show there rides?HHHMMM I think the grafics look awsome! Alot of the losers makeing comment about rice are motor heads or just plain stockers.
Keep up the good work and dont listen to motor heads!

Looks nice man...Looks like you got a lot of your own sweat into it (not literally :D ).

Yes, rims, a new engine, etc. would be nice, but don't worry about it man, just make do with what you got. I don't discriminate you at all. I AM GLAD YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A WING THAT STANDS AS TALL AS THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING! Commando was an '80's movie, lets leave it, and everything bearing it's name in the '80's!

Looks good though man, I am sure that you are most proud of your car.

Ok! Well thanks alot guys, your comments really cheered me up! I know I should get rims, Im working on my commercial pilot license right now so money is very tight, but my mom said that when I pass she will find a second-hand pair or maybe cheap new ones? Any suggestions for the kind I should get? I really dont know much about them!!

As for my interior I disensembled all the parts and scuffed the surface with a very light sand paper and wipped them down with nail polish remover (about 4 bottles of it). Then I took them to a body shop. There they they used a special FLEX PRIMER. cost $20. I went to Wal-Mart and bought some normal car paint and sprayed away! But it is important to get the flex primer so the paint can 'move' over the parts overwise you will get bubbles and cracks within the first couple months... hope that helps you out!

And as for the car I basically did everything you see...except the exhaust! Personnaly I and extremely proud how it turned out. Mostly everyone I have talked to has been impressed too! Except the old engine heads on this forum:confused:!

Once again thanks guys!!

I think you are over-reacting. Asking for honest opinions was your first mistake. You should be prepared to take the heat, because not everyone has the same opinion.

There is a difference between posting pictures, and asking for opinions on the pictures. Just take the comments for what they are worth and don't stress about it.

Personally I would not have done 3/4 of the things you've done but as long as you like it and are happy with it, that's all that counts! ;):cool:

Don't sweat it just because others don't like your car. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen! :o

I think it looks great, i'm personaly a graphics kinda guy, the only think i don't totaly agree with is the interior. I love the blue on the inside, i just think it's too much blue, but if you like it, it's all good:cool:

I hate to be the one to break it to you but people don't always tell you the truth to your face. Since we're on the internet, no one has inhibitions and isn't afraid to tell you the truth.

There is nothing wrong with a plain black camaro. In fact, I think they look great.

OK! OK! Lets stop the hack fest here!

I am sorry for putting blue paint in my interior and for false advertisement stickers on my engine. DOES IT REALLY MATTER? AM I DESTROYING YOUR LIFE TO SEE THIS?
Like I said I'm only 18, I'm just experimenting! People make mistakes! Maybe when I GET A REAL JOB I will by a nice car, not a "crappy peice of **** V6 cheap ass american camaro" !!:eek:

KILLERTA -- Please! Buy me some nice floor mats, I'll even take pictures of the other type-R ones in the garbage to make you happy!!

Considering it's your first car I can see how your experimenting and it's pretty tame from what I did with My first car (geo prizm)
But its good that you "rice" out your first car, gets it out of your system so when you get the car you really want you learn what looks tacky and what doesn't.


Hehe atleast you don't have an exhaust tip you can stick your foot in like I did ;)

black&blue :bow: for trying to stand out.
Around here you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without smacking at least 4 red, 7 black, and 2 white Camaros in the door.
There is a red camaro around here with white graphics that looks good too.
It takes grapes to go bold with an appearance mod like that, you had to know someone was going to give you some flack.
I've seen a bunch of 98-up with painted interiors but I don't think I've seen a 93-97 before. I like it.
Like was said some rims would set it off, and complete the look, but I know I myself can't run out and buy rims (that's why I have "hand me downs" , a set of chrome 2000 rims :) )

I totally agree with you and thats what I expected. Not smart comments like 'it burns my retinas and thats the epidemy of rice'.
I really dont care what other poeples think because I am happy with my car. It just pisses me off when people say that 'Dude you wasted all the money on a v6? Why not a z28' blah blah blah!!!

Like I said wait till I get a real job, I probably wont even be posting here anymore, probably more like the Porsche 911 forum!;) But until then...Ill have to deal with all the motor head comments!

Outside, not bad if thats your kinda thing. (paint the hood inserts blue you dummy!). And I was lookin at those seat covers but didn't realize they were that blatantly bright.. little too much blue on the interior. seriously man, the difference between the average v6 and average z28 I see around here cant be more than 500-1000 bucks. you should have looked a bit harder. having a nice system and stickers on your car is cool, it will get you alot of looks, but once you get behind the wheel of a Z those looks will be deserved... I'm sure there will be plenty of people who see that and want to race you, and you will get torn up... just my $.02

Trust me! If I coulda got a Z I would of, no questions asked. First of all it was a grad present so I had no say...I didn't even want a Camaro, I was hopin for a 300zx!:eek: And second of all I'm glad its not a Z! Cuz I would probably be dead already...too much power to testosterone for a first car!!:D

The seat covers are for winter only, they come off soon anf Im gonna get some new rims too, but they are staying 16"!! any suggestions?

With the way that car is graphiced up, you are gonna need some sweet a$$ rims. and i'm sorry but chrome salad shooters are not going to do it. Would probably make it look worse. Save your money until you can get some 18" rims.

If u don't care about what we have to say, why did u ask for our opinions in the first place?

U say ur happy with ur car, but u can't wait to ditch this board and ur car for a 911 turbo? I don't care if i was a millionaire, I would still love my F-Body and have pride in it. I guess it's just me, but if i was a millionaire i wouldnt say, "hmmm lets buy a few porsches or ferraris" i would say, "hmmm, lets buy A LOT of F-bodies" :D
