Got any direct side view pics?

I would remove the camaro lettering in the back and make it smooth. Maybe add your own "transmaro" lettering or something, but camaro is just out of place now.

If you leave it that color, get satin paint, don't just leave it primer.

On second thought though, if you can do good paint work yourself, I'd put a bad *** 2 tone or something on there that's really sharp. That car is looking pretty damn cool IMO. I wonder how some louvers would look on that back hatch.....with those, maybe a retro paint scheme could look good.......maybe get someone to photoshop some different paint ideas you like.

I love everything about the car except the hatch, side exhaust and spoiler. Other than that, the car looks great...

How bad does that hatch make your blind spots? Seems like it would obstruct more of your view. I've always kinda liked them, mostly because the verts with trunks always looked sweet, I don't like the big bubble glass....I'd rather have a trunk instead of a hatch.

Appreciate the hard work but the hatch isnt the problem, it looks ridiculous. But hey whatever floats your boat. Just remember somewhere out there is a trans am is missing its *** and a camaro needing a serious nose job. well later

Here's what Id do if it were mine:
1.!that rear window
2.!all lettering
3.Put "GM" emblems on the sides
4.black c5 z06 wheels and a lowering job

Itd be the coolest fbod ever.

i think the fbod would look sick with the same style rear hatch as the z06 did, compared to the C5. similar to the hatch you have but with a bigger rear window and without the wings on the side.
