That back bumper cover might look better if the car was red or black. It is a neat car though! Scott S should know how many were built.

thank you guys.. have install clear side turning lights from a Audi A6 instead of the ugly orange ones, The next thing is to do is mount black z28 stripes, only on hood and deck, then I got my smoked gts taillight covers from hawksthirdgen yesterday, Then i will buy a new third brakelight, and thint it black, also a custom smoked covers for the foglights in the bumber back or tint them, after this only black jdm headlights and , 18" Black Ruff racing 280 left on this season

I will do everything "removable" so the car can be original in just a few minutes.

What is Scott S name here on the forum by the way, can't find him, really want to know how many of theese that were made

Stay tuned, www.garaget.org/Mrjockos

Nice car! I may have missed something but I'm curious as to why the Trans Am seats were put in this car instead of the normal camaro seats? Looks like you got an after market exhaust on there too.

Ok, don't crucify me for this, just a thought, but I wonder how it would look if you pulled the reflectors out of the rear bumper and ran the exhaust through the holes?

Have to have a really cool custom tip and then have the surrounding area filled with something that had an ABS satin black look or something but it could be cool...

could be cool , but don't think it will work, the reflectors is in a quite high possition and and very tight on the backside of the bumber. but thanks anyway

I will try to make some custom smoked copvers for them, or just black vinyl will work (I'm sure the cops here will love it or not!) . I'm not using them anyway.

Here's what Scott sent me last night:

"all Export (Europe/Asia) 4th gens had rear bumpers with 'driving lights' -- also, they had Firebird Seats and door panels as the European Union requires a two - piece seatback with adjustable head restraints -- the Camaro had a one piece seatback.........."

That answers the seat and rear bumper questions. All cars sold in Europe require rear *** lights. That's one of my pet peeves over here - guys driving down the highway in the German car with the rear fog light on when you don't need it. Looks like one brake light is stuck on.

No problem. Just wondering - how appealing are our American muscle cars in Sweden? Do people look at them as exotic muscle cars or something which is very fast and powerful compared to european cars? Do europeans admire these cars?
