there's only the one on here that i've ever seen that's matte black. there's a lot of work on the doors that i see, not sure if it's worth it. i think it looks good, but unless you have a body shop and time to do all that work on the door skins, it's probably not worth it to try in your garage.

Are you going to start up a new thread or just revise the one you already have when you get back at it again? I think its a really bad *** idea. The first guy pulled it off well. I even liked the wierd hatch he did too.

my grandpa owns a body shop and hes been in business for 30+ years. i have the time and the know-how to do everything, i just dont have the funds quite yet. i seen the matte black one online and i like it, except for the hatch. im going to fab up a way to use the trans am bumper and taillights from the trans am so the only "camaro" part of the car will be the top half of the rear end and hatch. i have it drawn up to where i think it will look good. im planning on cutting the lower part of the quater panel off of the trans am and bonding it to the camaro instead of having to cut two doors and piece em together and so on. i just feel that it will be easier that way. ill see if i can find the drawings and post em so i can see what you guys think.

Looks like top camaro, middle t/a, bottom rice. only thing id change is the exhaust to like CME, to where you can't confuse the two. i really like the t/a taillights with camaro hatch
