4th gen f-bodies dont need screaming graphics or "unique" overstated paint jobs to be noticed, especially a red WS6. It would be cooler to me if someone were to talk about my car's exhaust or lopey cam or 1/4 mile times then a flashy "HEY LOOK AT ME" paint job but that is only me.

Definitely different, but I wouldn't do it.

The paint is worse than the Ram Air sticker. Those banners dont look to bad. What was the owner thinking?

Understandable, but when you're parked in a car show (which is what I would assume he painted it for), they're not going to hear your lopey cam, and they won't care about your 1/4 mile.

Around the DRL/turn signal has to be the worst blending of paint I've ever seen.

It looks like a clown car. The Ringling Brothers could make good use of it.

I openly said in one of the first posts that I thought it looked good, I'm not afraid to admit that I like things DIFFERENT. I'd much, much rather see something like this T/A than the other clones that don't do anything to the appearance of their car except maybe get a new set of rims, lower it, and call it a day. Amen for someone walking down the path less walked on, and props for having the guts to do it. It's freshness and uniqueness that I love to see on an FBody when there's so many others that are exactly the same. I'd much rather do something different to my car that isn't what the general population likes, or else I wouldn't have my Z-Roc / Stinger hood. I bought it just because no one else likes it. Then again, if I wanted to be a tool like most of the people on FBody websites, I'd have an SS hood and spoiler, no ground effects, a Berger panel, and a set of chrome wheels.
if you already know when somebody doesn't like something why ask opinions, because you already know that know one likes it also, this perfect example of has z06 rims which is very unique i have z06s on mine also, but i have had mine for 3 years. he should have bought some spinner so he could be really different. cause i don't know of one person that would like them on a ta.

If someone puts spinners on any Fbody they should be beaten over the head 30 or 40 times with a golf club. That's just wrong. I saw a 3rd gen Camaro last summer that was coming at me in a parking lot, sounded really good with the cam and exhaust he had. Then the car turned sideways revealing gold spoked wheels and less than 1" tall sidewalls for tires. My GF had all she could do to stop me from making a scene by going over there and telling him his car looked retarded and calling him a F$#*ing moron and many other things cause it truly disgusted me and I wanted to ram his forehead into the wheels till he got the point.

That's the one thing that I definitely agree on, spinners do not belong on Fbodies. Period. Nor do aluminum wings.

Badly done airbrushing. It looks cheesy. Not much thought put into side striping

I like how you can see a little bit of red around the opening for the black headlight cover.

Aha, that's why that car looked so firmiliar, I thought I saw a TA like that before, I just figured it was the same one. I definitely like the Mecham's paint job.
