I dont like it, it looks like a normal camaro with a gross paint job to me. The stripes cool, but the green color is

I kind of like it and I kind of don't... I like the fact he stepped out and did it and I like the fact that it reminds me of this car:



BUT, it fell far short of the above car... MAYBE if the Manta wasn't so fat, if the stripes were black, the back panel satin and the rims factory Z06 Magnesium it would have been a cool car...

you camaro guys never cease to amaze me how many stripe kits you can come up with. I dont think the car would look bad if it wasn't that green color.

I like it, I've always liked that old shade of green. I think the car would look better without the roof stripe and the yenko style stripes on it.
