I haven't posted a single pic either, and I've got close to $10k worth of performance/cosmetic mods. But I have differing reasons...

From my observations, It seems that most members post pics in order to receive some kind of acceptance/validation or "pat on the head" from other Camaro members. They want to show off and display all the stuff they've done to set themselves apart, expecting positive feedback. However, inevitably immaturity reigns, and the threads turn ugly when differing tastes/opinions result in criticism and hurt feelings. This is natural since you can't possibly please everyone and their tastes.

I personally don't give 2 rat-turds whether anyone else likes/dislikes my car. I don't need (or really even want) other opinions. I do what I do for me. Based on that...I've never really felt the need to share.

...but I'm glad that so many others do. It's helped me several times when I've been on the fence about various parts/mods that I'm considering.

If your on here all the time then I don't understand why u haven't posted pics..and even more reason is that you did the work urself...be proud of what u have done (unless ur not)....and show it off regardless if others have done the same thing...it's UR work...show it....are you afraid of the feedback (positive/negative) that u my get

...post sum...now I'm even more interested in seeing it

If you have the pics taken already what's so hard about uploading them? I would understand if we were in the 1950's and you had to physically get them developed, wait and then get us all together to view them but this is 2012 bud

Takes 2 seconds to upload pics via USB or email them to yourself (if they're on your phone), do it while you surf the forum and it'll be done by the time you're reading the first post of the first topic you read

I posted up pics of my car when I got it...haven't really done much modding at all to it, but I doubt I would post up pics just because it seems like I never have the time AT the time.

tazz3 · 10-16-2012, 11:47 AM

And for this reason alone you should post and share so others get the same opportunities.

I've dropped a little over $2,500 in mine and haven't posted any pictures really. I've done all my own modifications as DIY projects, but when it comes to posting pictures on here, I seem to be lazy. I have pictures of everything I've done, I just haven't posted them. I'll get on the forum and start surfing around and then never do it.

Anyone else...

Yes.
