Yea if they had more detail they may be ok?

However it almost looks like you pissed someone off and they came up and spray painted black lines down your car...

Nice ride though!

No offense bro but that looks ******* terrible. My first thought was "Who would spray paint gills on a car?" but then I read that they were airbrushed on. I would remove them immediately, some people shouldn't be allowed to mod cars (previous owner).

I would say no. It doesnt look good at all.
It looks to me like someone came and tagged your car.
but the rest of your car looks great, just not the gils.
Add a berger panel and do the ultra z stripes on the hood black. then it would look better.

I kinda dig it. But I wouldn't pay to have them put on my car. Nor would it bug me enough to make their removal my 1st priority either.

the consensus with the change of the front fascia in 98 with most die hard Camaro fans/owners are that they look like either catfish or sebrings ...Why in the hell the previous owner would **** up a beautiful color car with a joke IDK,but now it is YOUR mission should you chose to accept.. to quickly remove that spray bomb looking graffiti
