Suggestion on paint? Hood? Spoiler? - Lateral-g Forums

Jerebus67 · #1 09-14-2005, 09:40 PM

Found a guy in Downs IL, He said if I keep it red it will run around 4K and if I want to change the color it will be around 8k. Now the tough decision. I like red and I think for the cost savings it would be best to keep it red. Now do I stripe it? Cowl hood? Rear spoiler?
Do you think that no cowl hood and no spoiler looks cleaner?
Any suggestions?

Could you give us some more info about what you are doing? From that I would say keep it red. But does it have to be the same red? Red is a broad statement with the hundreds of options.
But the hood and the stripes, I got em on my car and so do alottt of us. If you like it do it. Never feel pressure to be different or not do what others do...do what you like. Its your car you are paying the bill...so love it!

Just looked at your pics, the paint looks pretty good...does it really need a repaint?

I actually like your car the way it is, but might suggest spoilers and a SS hood. The SS hood would be a bit different and help break up all that red at the same time without going with the stripes...just a thought?

Nice looking car BTW!!

That's a nice looking car already, it'd look pretty cool with a bumblebee stripe across the nose & would be different to the Z28 clones. I'd also do as Anthony says & fit an SS hood & maybe a roll over bar like Project Prodigy. At the end of the day it really comes down to personal choice.

It sounds like he's not going to be painting everything, hence the price difference between keeping it the same color versus a change. Should be the same price for a complete paint job, unless he's not doing the entire car, where a different color would require that he does paint everything.

My thoughts is I would want everything painted whether it was a re-paint in the same color or not.

My opinion:
Keep it red, and do the white bumble-bee stripe on front.
Cowl Induction looks better than the SS hood IMHO and camaros need spoilers!

DX1 stripes... But were they available in 67? I think I've only seen DX1 striping on 69's.

Why such the drastic difference in cost?
