Default Reggie Jackson's LSX Showcar

Sorry if someone else has posted this already. I saw this on Jalopnik.com today.

http://www.jalopnik.com/photogallery/reggiecamaro

The site says the car was built to promote the new LSX iron block

Nice engine layout and interior, but those wheels don't match very well. Not digging the exterior theme, can't figure out what it is lacking.

Wow I saw this car about 3 months ago and it was a total frame-off. That was fast.

Built by Trakon Customs.

i agree with Tony, something's wrong. i think it's the semi-flat red that kills it. engine bay looks killer, as does the interior. i'm really diggin it.

Default LSX emblem on the air filter...

Where did those emblems come from? I want some of those. The wheels got to go. Some smoothie II would look sweet.

maybe a grey hockey stripe to match the wheels?? IMO the wheels are what are killing the car. as well as the color of the car, being a rust color it would be hard to match a wheel that looks good with that. a shiney wheel might overtake the car and make it hard to notice the car itself without stareing at the wheels first. maybe a clear coat on the car or something

Very clean. Very nice attention to deatial and great craftsmanship. Do not like the paint, wheels I can take, but paint should be changed.

well is it rust colored or red?
looks red in the pic with him in it, rust/meh in the others.

Not feeling the wheels either, and maybe it needs a little lower stance..?

Default SEMA Show

Saw the car in the Chevy Booth at the SEMA show. It looks much better than the pictures reflect.
