OK! Opionion Time, New paint, rims, lowering springs! What do you think?

Ok, finally got it painted, lowered, new doors, front grx, rims, seats, yadayada, what does everyone think? Also, I shaved the front emblem on the nose, and the antenna, and did the headlight bay area with red as well!!

I'm from upstate NY, and I got an offer on the car today, the first day it's out of the paint shop. I'm asking 12k for it, and got offered 11 today! Might just do it. I'll miss my 6spd for sure though

Dude, you have NO idea how much better the car would look with the headlight area being black instead of orange, especially with the stripes and that color...

I see stripes on the hood and I think I can see some on the spoiler, but there are none on the roof? Very nice by the way.

Why would you sell it after getting such a nice paint job?

Hmm, buy , fix up, sell. It's hard to get out of them what you pay. How's your luck been?

oh yeah, check out Thirdgen Nationals '03 in my sig, if you still have one by then.

traditionaly chevrolet only put stripes on the hood and the rear. im prety shure all cars that came from the factory with stripes only had them in these places, it's people who paint their own stripes on their cars put them on the roof too. i usually dont like seeing stripes on the roof of chevys, that's what ford does with their cars, unless of course you're a ford guy.

Very sweet, I have to agree with the rest of those who say black headlight pockets would only make it look that much better. I think it looks pretty sweet though, good luck w. selling it!

Looks awesome. I thought it was orange at first and I was in love. Red is alright, but I've always wanted to see an orange thirdgen Camaro with black heritage stripes.

I think they have covered the looks, now what about performance? Have any pics of what's under the hood? The color look awsome! I like it, besides, you do not see too many C5 chrome wheels either. Nice job.

Just a quick question, is that car a 1991 or 1992 because the 1991 model wasn't the 25th Anniversary....

it is a 91, it has all the badges, but not sure if it's a real 25th, i've heard, both arguments, but either way, all the 25th was was stripes, and dash badge..lol
