Ok Im not gonna make a joke out of this car, Im gonna go all out show with it!!Bought it completely stock, I will get some pics up real soon. I debadged it already so I wont have completely stock pics up.
so far I have Blue Reverse Bulbs, and a Muffler for the car! I went to the junk yard today and picked up the rear ash tray as mine was cracked and also a dome light cover as that was also cracked. I ordered Reverse Glow gauges and Carbon Fiber mirrors for it too. Also a Corner Lense to replace mine that is cracked. I will be buying a couple more things on thursday, blue signal bulbs, blue headlights, APC Billet Antenna, and Carbon Fiber wipers. The only thing Im gonna do to the body this winter is take the pinstriping off.
I am also gettin blue underbody lights and a wing from Phats and some other interior neons from him and some other people on here to. I will have a body kit ordered this winter and hopefully have enough $$ to get the whole car painted in the spring/summer.
Anyone got any 17" 4 bolt rims they dont want?? LMK I will be updating this thread as I get new parts or do new things to my car.
Ok, gonna actually help you here instead of criticizing. The only thing you have done that will help you thus far at a show is replace the stock pieces that were cracked/damaged. What will help you win car shows? LOTS of performance parts, lots of suspension work (name brand), flawless paintjob (including engine bay), molded brand name bodykit, big brake kit, turbo/supercharger kit, REAL carbon fibre, not fake wipers or mirrors, custom interior, molded sub enclosure and amp rack (its ok to use neon here), something unique that will establish your car as the best in its class (NOTHING TACKY), remember, you will be competing with Skylines, Silvia's, 350z's, 300zx's, SE-R Spec V's, etc.... and thats just in fargo.
Things to avoid:
ANYTHING that says APC. APC Says to me "I want a show car, but I don't want to spend money to get there"
Underbody neons unless it is the finishing piece on the car. Make sure all the tubes are hidden and only the glow can be seen.
Toucan/Ractive products (see APC)

Many people trying to help. It's nice to see most of us together on this one. How are you going to pay for all of this? Sell the Camaro AND the Probe? No need to waste the advice on deaf ears guys. We'll see another thread soon of something else entirely that he plans to do.

This is worse than the thread started to get all the ricer parts. What real value does this thread even have? You want to put the cheapest parts on a car you can, and whore it into a larger peice of trash than I am sure it already is. Why not just use the damn thing as a winter beater and stick some cash into your mullet-rod.
Sure you say its about what you like. Then why post this garbage all over this forum for us to have to deal with???
Mabey you should aply your own shit to yourself???

Its amazing how many people hate others ideas. If he wants to try to make a snetra a show car whatever. He will regret (I HOPE) cuz he has a camaro with a shit load of potential. I think im going to go over there right now and pound it in his head not to go to crazy on this thing.

You know something? I don't usually say anything to people when they want to do such things to there car. Usually I would tell all the naysayers to let him be and let him do what he wants. But I have to draw the line somewhere. The things that you plan on doing to this car is pure crap. I'll put it this way. If you can go to your local Advance auto parts go to the ricer section and buy all the parts you mentioned, (which you can) then your car will not be considered a show car and will not get the respect you think it'll bring. It will be worth even less when your done than when you started. that shit is just a waste of $$$ if you ask me. Just my $.02.

blue turn signals=illegal. Must be amber.
You asked for what its going to take to build a show car, I gave you an honest answer and didn't rip on you for it. Please do me a favor and at least listen to my overall advice, I watch the show scene as much/more than most people do and think I have a pretty good pulse of what is going on in the industry. Simple bolt-on items won't win car shows. Not even in fargo. Notice that one of the nicest cars on this site (Tony West's 350z) only took 3rd place at the Perfect 10 show. I'm pretty sure he has more into his rims than you do this car....not including the exhaust, headers, ARC Titanium radiator shroud, ARC Titanium Strut Tower Bar, Seibon CF Hood, Seibon CF Hatch (GORGEOUS PIECE), etc... Yeah, he's in your class at shows and he doesn't win. Difference is, he won't quit until he does. He doesn't care what it costs or how long it will take to complete, he strives for rare and impressive parts. Not APC. So, if you REALLY plan on making a show car out of this vehicle, be advised that it will cost several thousand dollars (probably over $10k) and none of the parts that win the show for you will be from APC or similar companies.

I'm tellin you guys give up.

I just needed an antenna and I like blue bulbs they are better then yellow, as for the antenna it will be shaved off when I get it painted. I never said nething about winning shows, I just want to be able to enter the shows respectably (sp). I do plan on putting a lot of money into this car, I will still work on the Camaro just not as much its already pretty nice.
