Looks good...just not the exact route I would have taken but to each their own. Looks like a lot of hard work went into it and thats what matters

Ill ask just because....is that a 6 cylinder? or did you just remove the Z28 emblems?

Oh, it is black and navy blue...now i see it. Looks cool. I agree with the other ppl tho, the hood doesn't fit the car, but to each their own.

Anyways, i like the front end look, i always liked how the Camaro's look like they're smiling at you. Only with the lights u have, the car looks like it is smiling with rabies! lol. LOVE IT!

How do you not see where people would get rice from when looking at your car..? Its fine and all do what you want but understand what kind of feedback you’re going to get with the hood/spoiler.

Also from whom are you getting compliments from everyday? Are they other fbody owners? Honestly I think the car looks fine because that's what you want it to look like; however you should know exactly why you’re getting the rice comments.

On a side note GO BUY RIMS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!1ONE

you def need a colored pinstripe separating the two colors. silver would look good.

Whatever man! I was ok with the car till the OP noted he was waiting on a 5inch spoiler. I don't think I'm alone when I say that plus a trans am hood is leaping the border into Asia land.

I think the paint scheme is totally cool. But Camaro's, Firebirds, TA's, Vettes, don't need body kits, you can't improve much on those looks. GTO's may look a little better with the right body kit.

im not too sure a dark color would show. maybe it would with metallic in it. but normally with two dark colors, and bright color is used to separate the color.

the difference in the two paints are so subtle that i think even the thin line of a pin stripe (a silver stripe) would stand out too much, specially cuz the OP said he wanted people to look twice to figure it out.

As for calling you a Dumbass, sure it may have been harsh and hurt your feelings a little but its a word i could use to describe you and your way of thinking so.. and save your 9 inches for your gay buddies.

it took me a while to see the difference. def go with a silver pinstripe to change it up.

and it you bought THAT hood to be different, DO NOT get replica z06's. those rims on a camaro are like mustangs, everyones got em.

the spoiler isnt coming. seen the exact one i was looking at and canceled the order.

as far as a pinstripe im still undecided. the car remains garaged for right now so i dont need to worry about rims at the moment. still unsure on those also. ive seen the iforged aero 5spoke rims and those seem pretty nice

I told you about the feedback you would get for putting a Trans Am hood on a Camaro. Thats like putting a SS hood on a TA....looks out of place.

The comment on the 9 inches was totally uncalled for as well as name calling though. I'm been just completely honest with you on this one. People not familiarized with fbodys or muscle cars in general might find it cool looking but knowledgeable folks (like the majority here) will cringe at the sight of it....it wont matter how nice the paint job is.
