Has anyone ever considered making a camaro a ricer?

I don't think anyone on the forum has. I've seen billions of them on ebay though.

do they look good

[chevcamaro_86]

on a third generation

That has to do with personal preference. I, personally, don't like the look of 'riced out' camaros.

rice should stay with the ricers like honda toyota and all of them and NOT GM!

[chevcamaro_86]

it depends i think it could be very original i also think that if someone just crappilly put one together then it could very well be worthless. personally i want to attempt it while keeping the american muscle under the hood hidden from the other guys thinking my car looks funny.

Whatever you want to do.

why don't you just dent it and have fake rust painted on?

make it look like it's all crappy but have a killer engine lurking under the hood.

I actually haven't seen any riced out third generations. Only fourth gen.

You know when I made my first post I completely forgot my camaro had some rice flare (offset stripes). I didn't do it and I think it looks horrible but I am a forum member with a sorta ricer camaro. (I should probably be banned)

What are you planning on doing to it to make it look like a ricer? Goofy paint job? huge wing? roof scoop?

[blindeyed]

Well, I personally wouldn't ever disgrace a car that I think already looks beautiful from the factory. Sure you could throw a body kit and a ridiculously large spoiler on it, add some custom paint, throw some 20's on it, drop it 2 inches, and call it unique. But honestly.. what I consider to be unique. Is an old school car (I'm assuming yours is an 86), kept all original with a beast of motor under that hood that just screams American muscle. They're getting rarer and rarer as the years pass.. and soon, they'll be gone. If you really want to be different, then I'd say leave it alone, preserve it. Thats what will really make it unique, and that's what will make it stand out.

...Or we could (and I admit its a streach) destroy all ricers in a massive bonfire, crusify their creators and wipe their seed form the earth.

Actually, my first 3rd gen was a near ultimate sleeper. It was a regular 305 coupe, no ground effects so I guess people thought it was either a 4 or 6 cyl, that needed new doors. So at a swap meet we found the doors and as a bonus, gournd effects from a Z28.

Now the car itself was black with the paint in poor shape. The purchased doors were red. Undesisve as to paint the doors or the rest of the car, I decided in my youthful wisdom to paint the drivers door (minus skirt) laqour black with a rattle can. Never heard of the concept of wet sanding at that piont so it looked like shit. Then, I left the passenger door red (with skirt) and hung it up. Add countless globs of improperly mixed bondo on the quarters and whamo, instant sleeper.

The motor was good, real good, and she flew and turned a few heads.

Anyway getting to the point, some members here have posted links to some cars (stripped of the glory of being called a Camaro IMO). Now, some of the ideas and work that went into these cars isn't bad like nice paint (color) and a few had some neat interior ideas, let's face it, 3rd gen interiors after time = boring.

Soooooooooooo, I guess to each their own, but for American cars, there has to be a limit. I every so often see this Grand Am that I want to make a citizens arrest on because it's rediculous, with these tiny 12 " looking rims, but yet look 20" wide, a skirt package (not painted to match of course) that sticks a foot of the cars body lines, one of those erector set wings, doofy looking light pods, and all topped of with a glob stinckers slapped on the fender that scream "if these don't tell you 'I'm cool, the sound of the hollowed out coffee can in the rear will".
