hmm, if ur askin for honest opinions - i'd say pick a theme and stick with it. looks like ur main theme is the dark/blackout, but the wheels arent helpin it..along with the badge. i'd just suggest u blackout the wheels, and if u can, maybe black out the 350 badge? ur paint looks like sex tho.. really an incredible job on the upkeep of ur paint! 
as far as the interior goes - almost sex. just one thing i aint feelin - the paint, i think u shuld maybe pinstrip the blue on all the plastic. like, for instance, maybe paint a medium-thick blue pinstripe on the outermost part of the trim panels all the way around (including doors) as opposed to painting the whole piece. i think that wuld constitute definate sex. the seat covers - eh, they serve their purpose, an if they really dont bother u, then oh well.
i'm all for keepin wut u got (including the badge an everything), just...maybe change the color scheme up a wee bit. just my honest opinion dude. u really do have a beautiful car tho. major props for keepin her clean...and unique!

Umm, they are a part of the hooker catback, which is installed fully and correctly. i dont know why they would look wrong. maybe its the angle of the pics....

Oh, and for the record (in your defense) those V-Flags came on CAMAROS as well 1967-(68 or 69, not sure)... All one has to do is open the Year One catalog to see that...
I am still considering putting one on the driver's side of the Berger panel to balance it out...

You Hooker tips are adjusted too far out though... Are your hockey stripes painted on?

If you like your theme then thats cool and it looks good. But I do think you need some different wheels to match. Maybe some torque thrusts?

Opinions are like ********, everyone has one so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I dig the front grill. You went with a black grill and even though the bowtie doesn't match your paint, it shows a bit of nostalgia without going overboard.
The 350 badges stick out like sore thumbs on that nice dark paint and the motor is not a 350 no matter how many people refer to it that way. Fight the ignorance with correct badging, look at it as a way to educate the un-informed. Not only that but the the first thing that I see when looking at the front of the car is how far out the 350 badges stick out from the natural curve of the car. Even if you went with a 346 badge I would recommend going with something slimmer like a decal and matching it to the black hockey stripe that you've got. The blocky badges worked well on the front fender of classic cars, just not so much on the lines of a 4th gen.
I realize the flags emblems are nostalgic to the classic cars and that's where you are trying to go with your styling, but they do not go well at all just slapped on the sailpanel against the black paint.
You did a good job on filling in the Camaro lettering on the back panel and painted it up nicely only to slap a poorly placed Camaro badge and a big *** blue bowtie that's not even placed tastefully underneath the taillight. You have 5 different colors on the back on your car and that's not including the plate. It kind of looks like you just had a couple left over badges and decided to stick them somewhere instead of letting them collect dust in your garage or selling them to another member.
The exhaust tips do stick out pretty far (if you can see them clearly in the reflection of your bumper, it means that they stick out too far). One another thing about them, I thought the stagger tips should flow with the bumper (long ones on the inside and the short ones on the outside to follow the lines of the bumper).
Again, it's just an opinion.
