Yea, first post & every pic of "your" car has their company logo in it. Smells like spam from here.

Post some personal pics in your own driveway & maybe we will be inclined to listen to you.

Whatever makes you happy, I still prefer hearing nasty cam lope and thumping loud exhaust that shakes the ground around me when I turn my car on, not whatever that thing sounds like through those awesome exhaust tips.

Thats one confused Camaro.

Doesnt know if its a American, German, or Japanese.

The Interior is very nice, the exterior is very nice, the powertrain makes me wanna kill myself.

Guys, quit stirring shit. I know it can be fun, but it gets old sometimes.

The Camaro is very nice, I'll still shoot it for a magazine because it is unique. I like pretty much everything but the exhaust tips. Maybe replace that blue air filter coupler with a black one so that it matches better. The GTO seats are nice, I have them in my GTO too

2JZGTE doesn't bother me, they are a good engine that make killer power. Had you stuck a 4-cylinder VTEC engine in it, now THAT would suck.

Who does your paint/body work? I have a couple 1st gens to get done.

Take the best of all three! This is what custom cars are about! You like original buy from the factory and leave it alone. I don't think we are on this forum to keep the cars stock.

Personally I like the car and have no problem with a 2Jz they are cool but the closeup pics are not flattering.

Is that a zip tie holding up the fuse and power wire or whatever in the engine bay. Id be pissed after I spent that kinda money if thats what that is.

The door panels are horribly thought out. Better than stock, maybe but not up to par for that car. In fact most of the upholstery (sp?) work looks horrendous. Outside of the seats, GTO i suppose?

I like the trunk area though and the wheels look nice. Is that your mercedes they are on in the pic you posted.

Think you could get a boot that doesnt show the shifter

To be quite honest I hate referring paint shops. I never have a really good experience. I'm sure thats why you are asking me that question. I'm looking for one too now for my next project.

Yes, but if you keep asking me questions I will be considered spamming. Thanks for your opinion as well.

I don't think anybody disputes thats it's a very nicely done car, besides the ricey exhaust tips.

BUT, just because you spent a lot of money on custom shit doesn't make it better than other cars of it's kind. I can think of 4-5 pro touring 67-69 cars off the top of my head that I would take over yours.

Mike it wasn't a 2JZ either. haha I'm sure the ole school guys would like it more, because it sound lumpy and has a 3,000RPM stall.

Nobody said it was better. Lets keep that as a fact.

haha, yes that was the reason for me asking. There are good painters, but most stay booked for months. Some won't paint entire cars, and prefer insurance jobs. I think I'll add a spray booth to my next shop and just do it myself.
