That is one Sweet third Gen. Those wheels and the Color Combo, hood, wing combo really set the car off. I love it. What is the color red if I may??

The more I look at those pictures the more I want to step into a clean a$$ third Gen again. The way they feel when you drive one is defferent ALOT different than a Fourth. I dont know what it is, I cant place it, its the ride the way the front end feels when you corner or turn into a drive. You know what I mean?? I,m crazy I know.

This is one of the best 3rd Gen Camaros I have ever seen! Every 3rd Gen you see on the streets are all ****ed up! This is by far the cleanest and Bad *** 3rd Gen. I love the Rims! Every 3rd Gen you see always has IROCs. This one stays away and goes with some better rims,

Thanks everyone! It took me a while to figure out which hood and spoiler combo to go with but im very pleased with what i have now. I got the idea for these rims from a local buddy that had the same style on his 4th gen formula, they are the HP design called lightning. They come in hyper black or silver. The tire size is a 275/19/30 which if fine for up front but when i can im going to go with a 295/19/35 for the rear. Thanks again for the compliments.

Trust me i know what you mean, i had two fourth gens (LT1/LS1) and there is a difference. Not a lot of enthusiasts in my opinion really get into 3rd gens as a daily driver because of the stigma of the 3rd gen as a redneck or trailer trash car. In truth there is a huge following of these cars and soon they will see a revival, more people will restore these cars making mine just the average car you see on the road.

I can say this because of the compliments i get when i pull in somewhere and park the car. I hear a lot of stories of when people had a IROC or 91/92 Z and how much they loved there cars. They also say it's a shame they don't see more on the road taken care of like mine (at least here where i live) If you want to make a 3rd gen a project now is the time, they are starting to sell above KBB price.
