The rear spoiler, ground efx scoops and the FB inserts on the hood instead of the plastic louvers really set those two years apart from the '90- down. Good choice!

well ur right on the snypers. 8s up front 9s out back. no need to worry about the 305 bein gone because the entire car is gone. as for the spoiler it was a real PITA. plans that were never finished were as follows. 383 mini ram III, t56, wheels widened an inch and an ASCD SS hood, i eventually plan on gettin the car back or one just like it. check out this months GMHTP cover to see what i wanted my car to look like. thanks for the compliments.

The really great thing about these cars is there plenty of them still around , a clean car is not too expensive to buy and they're similiar to 4ths in terms of suspension . Engine swaps can get to be a little expensive but the aftermarket is coming out with parts to make the swap simple. A lot of parts will interchange with 4ths with a little modification. They make great starter cars for someone who wants to get in the F-body scene but has a limited budget. And as you can see from this thread so far, they look good! The black one above went from a run of the mill Camaro to an attention getter in just a few simple steps. What's not to like about that?
