major props on the work done.

i'm not a big fan of the old rims, nor the size of the new ones...i bet it's a horrible ride...i am also a fan of the LT1 style because i think it's more aggresive. and like other people have said, i would've gotten an LS1 instead, but i understand that selling your car and finding and buying a new one and then doing this to it, would've been A LOT more than what you've done...

i definately applaude the workmanship and hours and money i bet it took to make this car come out as it did.

honestly i like it, tint the taillights and you're done...

i like the fact that you went out on a limb and were different most people in society follow the norm because it's accepted, props for having the cahones to go out of the box.

goodluck with the future of this car!

Good job with everything. The car is definately an attention grabber. If you like the body kit keep it. Throw on a black billet front grill and tint and the car should be pretty badass. Oh, and then drop in an ls1

Props the car looks much better now. I love that hood on camaros but always thought that hood required front ground effects to tie it together, which yours does. The side skirts im a lil against but the rest of the car overshadows it.

I know I'm a noob here, but here's my opinion...Color is **** UP, generally don't like body kits, but maybe if you get the hood fitment right it'll be ok.

I think it came out great. I like the look of LT1's but it does look better than before. All that is needed is an LS1, LS2 or LS7 under the hood

ditch the body kit, and try to fix the gap between the bumper and the hood and you have a winner
