No offense dude...But it looks like the tail end of an Avanti!
Kind of squared off...
Not my style...kind of an old school basic guy i suppose.
But if it works for you...that is all that matters! _________________

i'm thinking of the sport hatch with a raised spoiler from a 91 z28 instead of the 3piece fin _________________

the added benefit is that it only weighs aprox. 40lbs., rain doesn't rest on the back, neggitive side is that yes it looks like a stretch fiero, major blind spots. _________________

A knockoff of the notchback Chebbie put on some of the Firebirds in the late 80's. Ugliest thing there ever was. Actually worse than rear window louvers if you can believe it.  |

Funny. I just was reading a thread on TGO where Tony mentioned that they only made 651 of those from the factory. Not exactly my cup of tea especially since I believe you should avoid cross swapping parts between birds and camaros. _________________ E30

Well you have a lot of opinions here but it is your car. If you think it is cool then go for it! Would be unique that is for sure.

i think it would look cool when coupled with the right custom body kit and raised spoiler. But putting it on a stock looking body is kinda wrong. I'm trying to use my minds eye for this one _________________

Well it fits that body style better, but still not really working. That said, it is your car do what you like to it. My personal impression is that it looks like a fake and toyish looking car. its loaded with vents and louvers and such that don't really do anything. reminds me of the S10 I see around here with the dual vertical 2" exhaust pipes sticking 8' in the air for no reason at all. I just look at it and wonder why. _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

| I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. Keep in mind you will not be able to put a human in the back seat. If your into GM two seaters buy a mid 80's corvette. Same powertrane, but lighter weight and dirt cheap. |

ya..... good point. I think I'll keep the maro the way it is. Just build the motor as wild as possible and then worry about it's looks.  _________________

A good stance and a decent set of wheels will go a long ways in the looks department.... if you can manage to keep them on your car. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S
