Please stop! Having everything green is not cool. Look at a Lamborghini or a Porsche. People don't paint everything in a Ferrari ALL red. It's about contrast and colors and materials that look good together.

That looks great man I love it

Thank God, a voice of reason. I thought I was the only one who thinks some might be getting a bit carried away with the whole "custom" thing. I mean it's your car(s) in the end so have at it, but the ONLY cars that have doors that open vertically should be made in Italy & have a bull on the hood, and please realize that there are some of us who really don't care what knob you had painted yesterday. I mean no offense with my comments, and it isn't limited to just the SGM crowd either, but it's been on my mind this week having watched some of the most amazing (some more so than others) box stock, and customs from mild to wild be sold at Barrett Jackson.

There is a reason guys like Chip Foose are the designers and we are the drivers. It's called being subtle, elegant & classy, oh and the most important thing, talented. I personally think the Camaro team did a great job on the car & it should be left as they made it, but that's just me, different strokes I guess.

To each his/her own. I happen to really enjoy looking at the work that has been done to the cars here. I am slowly changing and adding some green under the hood and inside...I like it. If you don't - that is cool too!

As toesuf94 stated already, to each their own.
I respect your honesty and also you decision on how you like it, your car or not. There's no offense taken on this side, but I honestly love the car there's no doubt about it, with or without my custom work put into it.
In my point of view, I have the LS so I didn't like the rims, bowties and interior, so I switched it out into my own. I'm different I guess you can say and I'd rather have my own one-of-a-kind Caramro instead of having an identical LS with another owner, there is nothing wrong with that but it just isn't me, I was always different and always will be.
I don't expect each every person to like it, it's impossible, but in the end as you said it's "YOUR" car and in the end it only matters if YOU like it.

Agreed! Do what you want. If you like it, then all is well!!

This has NOTHING TO DO WITH SYNERGY GREEN...but it is important none the less: Call to Action from Fbodfather in my e-mail this morning:

Seems our good friends at Jalopnik have placed a poll on Facebook -

"Which do you prefer - theCAMARO ZL1or the Mustang GT500 --

AND -- it appears that Ford has tried to 'stuff the ballot box' --

SO -the poll ends this morning - please show the world how we feel about Camaro!

Go here: http://www.facebook.com/questions/10...68/?qa_ref=ssp

right away!


Got this from a friend.......


And it looks like Ford's trying to stuff the ballot box:

http://www.facebook.com/fordmustang/...17644578327314

Y'all gonna let them blow the Camaro ZL1 out of the water?
