Default Finally pics of the Z w/ 35th stripes, CF wrapped items, polished stuff..etc

I don't think in the time I have been a member here, have I ever posted pics of the Z. It just never was at the point that I felt was worthy enough to post here. I still have a loooong way to go in the engine area, but the exterior and interior are just about done.

there's about 2mb worth of pics so 56k'ers will have a little wait.

It looks like you have put a lot of time in your car. It has some real nice features and is clean as hell.

You are the first person I have seen use vinyl stickers and say they have "CF wrapped items". Not my thing, but if you like it then that is all that matters

I like the CF pieces, altho I would've carried that same theme inside the cab or just made the flow more uniform - but thats my only critique.

Outside looks really . Dont hesitate to post more pics

car looks real good bro, i use to have piece pieces wrapped in that vinyl but got tired of it and it turned kinda ricey on me i guess. i think you shouldlower it, paint the calipers, and get an emblem on the left side of the berger panel to balance it out and you should be set.

Looks good to me, the carbon fiber items look better than plain. Keep up the good work.

thanks to everyone for the comments, my car and I both appreciate it!
Just to address some points that came up from you guys:

I covered those pieces in CF cause as mentioned above I think it's better than just plain. However, I am considering, aluminzined carbon fiber, or brushed aluminum...we'll see

On the left hand side of the black panel I either plan on putting a 408c.i. or 418c.i. since I am getting an LS2 or L92 in one of those sizes later this year. Or maybe just the HP rating after it's been dynoed. Either way the numbers and letters will be polished stainless.

The Wilwood brake package will be done before the year is over, I might just paint or polish them until then.

Living in this town, would kill my car if I lowered it. As it is with LT's and an Xpiped (dumped) it scrapes....

I am about to order the MS4 cam kit, and probably PRC or Patriot heads within 2 weeks. Since I am going to ditch the heads for a whole new setup when the new motor gets here in the fall, I just need some cheapy heads for now.

Car looks great, very clean. Only thing I didn't like (just my opinion) is the vinyl stickers which is not real carbon fiber. You did a great job in applying them but there really isn't a substitute for real carbon fiber. To each his own and as long as you are happy then that is what matters. Definitely one of the better looking Z28s.
