whats amazing is that the El Es Juan styling was popular in the '70s.....still popular in '98, and can still be seen today.

Nobody ever accused some hispanics of having good taste though

Only things missing are a picture of a cow painted on the door, and Selena airbrushed on the hood. Then the back window needs a fantasy airbrushing of some tropical landscape with the Camaro itself sitting in it.

haha

You need to offset the spacing on your wheels. They aint sticking out enough. Don't forget the angel hood ornament with the clear green wings.

And just like the trucks with Vette lights make no effort to cover the original brake lights. I think it is done that way so you can see the mural at night

I have that same steering wheel in my car. It`s a small steering wheel for vatos like us because you can still drive the car with handcuffs on.
