Dont feel bad about there comments. If they were proud of there cars they would provide a link. 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 ).

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.

Thanks guys...

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!

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.

Here's what I think...

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!

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

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

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.

he he guess I'm a Ricist.

It's really not THAT bad, and it IS different, I've seen worse CRAP out there !....

pay no attention to any subliminal messages you THINK you might have noticed

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 *** american camaro" !!

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!!

***Keep those comments coming!

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 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 )
