I really like it, I like how you stenciled your flowmaster, i just painted mine black, didn't even think of that. That import killer decal looks greats on the back and i actullay like those round tips. I think your interior looks good too, i would love to have a tan intenior, infact if i get leather seats covers i'll get camel. i don't have any ideas onhow to improve it, only that i would prefer a SS spoiler. thanks for posting your pictures.

yeah...since you're asking for suggestion/feedback..... on that spoiler. I think they are so damn fugly. Its like a domestic version of the rutters they put on imports. Does more to lift the car's back end then paste it down like fins were originally intended to do. Just my opinion. You asked

By the way, this is F-Body Lounge material all the way.

Like the hood, like the clear covers etc but i got sick of that wing very quick when i had it. Just a heads up.

And get a cat-back or similar , i cant imagine that the flowmaster actually sounds good hehe Thats just what *i'd* do.

Your car looks really nice. Only complaint i have is the spoiler but then again i don't realy like spoilers. Take more pics of the interior that one pic looks really good. Love your hood!!

My suggestion:

Post this kind of stuff in some other forum than LT1 Tech.

Alright man I know that you prefer compliments but like the other guy said since you asked for our opinions heres mine. I dont really like anything you have done. That wing is hideous, "import killer" on the rear vascia?!?! umm ok. Dont like the clear headlight covers or clear corners either, and those single slash cut tips are definitely third gen style! And that hood? well you know get my point. In my opinion ditch all those, get some money for them, lower with eibach pro kit if you havent already, get some nice SS wheels are somethin (or 17x11 in back with 315's:-), and if your gonna change the wing on a Camaro the only one that looks good are SS wings. Im confused, you have "import killer" on your back bumper but it looks like your trying to be one. Anyway, your car does look very clean and well maintained. Hope this helps.

BTW, was your car originally a V6? Im just curious because it says major upgrades: engine swap, and that Z28 badge on the back was not put on exactly where it would be if it was put on by factory.

ok here's my 2 cents about your 2 cents

first of all , i know i asked for opinions(good and bad) but this is rediculus..... everything i have on my car you've dissed on.......

i know the spoiler isnt everyone's favorite but who the hell actuallly LIKES the stock orange parking light covers!!????

i mean, i'm only 19 and in college so i can't afford all the rims and lowering bs and stuff cause i don't live in the desert and would drag my a$$ off....

i know i asked for it, but if i took your advise my car would be basically stock, and i'm not 55 yrs old and i don't like that... i like to be different.......

yes, my car used to be a v6 and i put an lt1 and tranny in it myself cause i can't afford to pay someone......

btw, where's your car pics???

anyways, thanks for the replies

Alright I knew I would get in trouble for this. I guess I will apologize but it was just simply my opinion. As for the orange parking lights, I happen to love them.On the 97 and up cars they glow bright orange all the time and I happen to like that. Im only 22 and in college also so its not like I have all the money in the world either. I did not buy my car new, I boguht it from my neighbor who did. He works for GM and had the car special ordered without the stripes but still has the rest of the 30 Ann. Edition package (Z4C). I happen to think it looks good all white with white leather and no orange stripes. Anyway enough about my car. Heres the pics of my car. You can tell me everything you dont like about it I wont be offended.

P.S. thats cool that you did the engine and tranny swap yourself, not many people can do that sorta stuff.

yeah, i'm in college too.... i dunno . i have just worked so hard to get what mods that i do have i just kinda take it personal sometimes when somebody disses on EVERYTHING i have...... i can understand room for improvement or if there's something that you don't like......but i can't change everything that i have....

i'm not offended, i knew it would probably happen, hell i asked for all opinions (good and bad) so i deserve whatever i get.......

it just kinda aggrivates me when the older (i thought you were older) members diss on everything that's not stock because they don't like anything different....... some people would rather dog you out than give you a compliment whether they like your car or not.......

but anyways i'm rambling now... so thanks for the replies

Like I said man the car looks very clean and well taken care of. Its just that we obviously have different likes.

What else did you have to change after the engine and tranny swap? Are the springs the same for V6 and V8 cars? I didnt think they were.
