Pearl orange, special mix by the painter. Soon the hood will have ghost flames coming off the ramair ducts and the sail panel will be painted black again.

Mine hasn't come that far...
Engine bay was completely stock but here's the earliest when it had just an intake lid:
Of course there are many mods that are not pictured... I need more current pics

All are B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! I wish I could put more $$ towards my T/A. I'm the kind that likes to see results and right now I'm doing repairs and a FEW cheap DIY mods, so I'm not getting to see any big changes, but at least the DIY mods I'm doing will be quite noticed details when I'm finished. Swat
Here's how it looked when I got in this January.
After the stripes I painted in March or April.
And as is now while I'm working on the bumper...shaving corner lights, plate cover and repairing cracks/breaks.

From online ad from previous owner:
Day I brought it home:
Current:
Since those pictures I put street tires back on it, and rear camaro fillins in black.
I put a 2OTL back on it, finished the headers, replaced the windshield, and that's mainly it. Next is finishing the body work (dent in rocker, re-clear hood) then I I'm evening out my stance and picking up 2 more rear tires for DR's.

This was when I found it sitting with no interior minus some racing seats:
I just realized I have not updated the interior or engine bay pics since then...wow lol Guess today when i update them for the new LSx Breaks and Upgraded Rotors I will have to get that too. But i am actually repainting the whole care a little darker shade green then the Polo. I have another 500 to pay off the painter he already has the paint I had mixed myself and then she goes in. I also changed from Z28 Fenders to ones that Say Camaro just for the fun of confusing those who are not paying atten. (I am also batting around the idea of a black rear as I see so many others do but I am not sure yet... Still taking feedback and thinking about that one). Oh and yes I am not fond of the wing I actually bought a stock one to go on thats with the painter but it seems I may have got my hands on an SS One... We shall see.
