Nice!!! Those look great on there!

Is that a Berlinetta? I always liked those, they look nice and clean.

And it's funny, I was just thinking today how I miss my 3rd gen. I had an '88 GTA.

Yeah, it needs some sort of airdam. I wonder if an IROC front valance would bolt right on. Probably.

gonna hate to say this, but that is the front end used for the berlinetta, maybe the standard camaro too. check it out on thirdgen.org.. you can run the VIN on compnine.com and will give a breakdown on what it is.. FYI.. no arguments..
BUT BACK ON TOPIC..... CAR LOOKS KILLER!

Looks good other than it looks like your about to go 4x4 in it. I understand them bumpers don't sit as low as say the bumpers that came on the Z's. But none the less, clean looking car considering about all the ones you see now-a-days look like they have been ragged out.
