No, you're wrong. Spinners and aluminum wings on F-Bodies are different, so they have to look good.


Just becaues that paint job is different, it has to look good.

Even though it is different, that paint job is not a good ******' idea. No two ways around it. Sure the guy gets points for being original and going out on a limb, and the work involved can be respected, but the execution was **** poor and the end results show it.

OVERRALL I THINK IT SUCKS BUT OFCOURSE THAT'S MY OPINION BUT I DO LIKE THE 2 STRIPES OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE HOOD EVEN WHERE THEY CONNECT ON THE NOSE OF THE CAR ( KINDA OF THE Z-15 PROJECT LOOK) THAT LOOKS GOOD BUT NOT THE REST OF IT. TOO MUCH BREAKING UP YIKES !!!!!!!!!!!

this was just another attempt of somebody trying to do something "different" but turned out to be a disaster.
being different is not wrong, but this paint job, aluminum wings, and spinners on f bodies is just sickening!!!!!!!!!!!!

So… you make decisions on appearance modification based on creating controversy instead of enhancing the asthetics of your car? Interesting.
As far as the T/A goes, all I know is this: Somewhere, Chip Foose is laughing his *** off and Spider-Man is pissed because somebody stole his car!

i kinda like it until the winshield area, after that the whole thing falls apart. i think it would look better if it was a reverse color scheme

the paint looks horrible, but it's funny how everything ugly is defined as "rice" by you guys

Oye, you guys sure do twist what I mean, just like the post way up there about the spinners and what not. For example, I purchased the Z-roc hood because I knew people didn't like it, 1) it won't be seen on EVERY SINGLE Camaro like the SS hood is, 2) its unique, 3) I love the look. With that said, no I wouldn't do something JUST because people don't like it. If I like it, and other people don't, I don't give a **** because it's my car and not theirs. I'd rather be the one that people remember than own the car people go "Which one? I've seen a lot like that" when they hear the description. Maybe it's different for me because I live in the Detroit area and we're packed with Camaros, but damn theres so many clones around here it's disgusting. I'll tell ya, I liked the Berger panel idea until I saw 5 other red Camaros cruising with one... all in one week, all different license plates. In the metro-Detroit area, you either blend in like all the other SS's, or you stand out by actually doing something different. That said, I'd rather be the one everyone recognizes. I can't tell you how many times I've been at a car show, and people come up "Hey, Meissen, I saw your car on Car Domain!" "Hey, I saw your car on Camaroz28!" "Hey, you're the guy with the faceplate of your CD player in your sunvisor, aren't you?" Doing things custom and different to me is much more rewarding than doing what 10-20 other Camaros are doing in the same area.

Back to the subject of the TA, while the side stripes are wider than I would've done it, it's really not that bad. I think someone else put it best when they said the thought was there, it was just executed poorly. If I saw pictures of this TA in the daylight instead of dusk and maybe a side shot or a more angled shot to get the whole effect, who knows maybe it might look better. But y'know he spent money on it, if he likes it then props to him.

I don't come onto an FBody enthusiast site to trash talk other people's FBodies except in extreme and rare cases.

Edit: If you're going to quote me, bud, atleast quote what I said, because I never said those exact words.

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.
