August COTM ** Nominations **
Hope all of you have been busy wrenching/cleaning/polishing your third gens on our COTM break. We are back at this. So lets get the nominations rolling! - Brandon
***** AUGUST Nominations*****
This thread is designed as a nomination board to narrow down to the top ten thirdgens found on this board. This is not a picture thread to post pictures of your own vehicle, and you cannot nominate your own vehicle. To nominate a member you must provide a user name and POST A GOOD PHOTO of the vehicle (for others to possibly 2nd, 3rd, 4th the nomination).
***NEW***
- This month is OPEN for any Modified, or stock, Camaro or Firebird!!!
Once a vehicle has been nominated, there is no need to post additional pics, but please post with members screen name as a second, third etc nomination.
One nomination per member. So please do not list of your top 20 favorite cars... think about this, it will be an honor, pick one. If multiple nominations are made by a single member, I will only count the first posted member when creating a tally.
*** The 10 or less cars with the most nominations will be complied into a new thread around July 15th, at which time poll format will be used to nominate the August car of the month. A car must receive more than one nomination be included in the voting process ***
Please see last months nomination thread for ideas on how this works....

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
You should also take a new picture for your sig, your current sig does your car no justice.
I didn't even notice how well that would fit. The next car should almost be required to be blue.

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Posting pics of your cars helps remind other members just how nice of cars we have. So if you have been wanting to get nominated... remember to post pics of the things your doing so other can be reminded too (everybody)

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Thanks. New pics to come this weekend!
The wheels actually aren't painted. They're black powder coated with machined face/lip. I did consider shooting a gunmetal gray over the black, but loved the way it came out once they were mounted up.

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Thanks Tony and Danny,
I posted some info about the car and it's unusual history, however it may read more like a book... Sorry if there are too many details.
There are lots of deserving cars in fantastic condition on this site.

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Puma has a very sanitary(flashback) ride.
However I'm in a turbo mood and have been looking at some gns so... The tta has my attention. Those were very fast cars back then. We need more coverage of it! Maybe a history of ! tta along with it.
Waiting for someone to nominate a firehawk....
And why do the birds have all the fun?(tta,firehawk) at least we had an lt5 car way back when

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Thanks! I went through just about every cleaner possible on them. I came down to an ultimatum. Delete them, or replace them. I went through hawks and got a new set of bottles. Cosmetically one of the best under-hood upgrades I've done.

Re: August COTM ** Nominations **
Question. You say powder coated and then machined. I suppose that meant an end to the chrome finish...or weren't they chrome plated to begin with?
The reason I ask is that aftermarket IROC rims I've seen are all plated and it doesn't have the same appeal (to me) as the painted inserts and the machined lip.
They look great and also open up a whole new selection of tires being that the 16" versions are overlooked by companies like Nitto.

I had to take a second look. I hadn't noticed that they were aftermarket.
