:wavey: hello iam new on this forum from overseas (the netherlands) buy me a 1998 camaro and found this forum about v6 camaro ,its a nice site and a lot of topics because it is in holland a strange car, there are not many camaros only from 25 years and older because we have a crazy goverment whit high taxes on the cars and higher gasolineprices ,because the price for a gallon in the us is in holland 1liter:( !!!!!! (arround 3.7liters is a gallon)thats the reasen you dont see to much american cars around here , and the older cars run on propane thats the same price as gallon :tup: so thats ashort discription from my country and me iam a litlle known in some parts of the us ,i have familly live in north carolina beafort county(washington ) and travelling alot in north carolina ,places like bayboro,belhaven.engelhard,swanquarter,bath, ,elizabethcity,moycock,,chocowinity,aurora,tabaro, bethel,maggyvalley,bryson city,part of the blueridge mountains etc most of the time was for a month in the us ,but after 11 sept i have never going in a plain again ( i was 2 days in the us when its happenend ) but the feelings for my family is bigger than the fear for the plane but someday i go back again and visit my family als a always did, but enough for now and greetings from tom hamden :bs:

Welcome Tom. I loved Holland.

i wonder if he has the import tail lights

Probably not... the Euro version of the Fbodies did have side turn signals, and some ugly rear facing foglamps though.

Re: hello to everyone new here from overseas

are you mirrors required to fold in or something? I say you should pick up the american version that flows 100000x better with the car.. crazy bumper lights too, but i've seen that before.

Welcome! :wavey:

Re: hello to everyone new here from overseas

thats rigth for safetyreasens in europe to fold in ,and the fogligths on the back you must have it for the law fogligths on the back .but when the winter is over i put the american mirrors and rearbumper on it because i never liked the european versions ,the c5 and c6 corvettes have the same bumper on the back whit fogligths and turnsignals in the frontfenders ugly isnt it?
