Flame suit = Everyone is going to give you ****, becuase body kits are ricer, and don't beong on F-Bodys, so pretty much get ready for a bunch of negative comments.

If you wan't to make the car look nice, drop it on a nice set of rims, tint the windows, do the CETA mod, etc. No body kits though please, just keep it nice and clean!

Some hoods have weight advantages and ram-air performance variations; that said, yes, hood replacement on these cars is mainly for cosmetic purposes. That doesn't make body kits kosher though. They just serve no purpose other than to attract attention, and they look like crap, IMO.

You don't see guys putting body kits and LEDs on the undercarriage of their '70 Chevelles. Keep with the bad boy American heritage... not The Fast and The Furious fads.

This.

The CETA mod is painting the bottom section of your rear bumper, usually in flat or gloss black, to match that of the 2002 Collectors Edition T/A's, hence CETA. Looks very good if done right, and adds character to the car.

OP, a simple search through the faq should give you everything you need.. and if not, you can look at a bunch of threads and find names and info on things you might want to do.

Do not put a body kit on your car.My Z28 came with the factory Y3F option from the factory and was the first thing I took off.Keep it clean and simple.AS far as the interior you could set yourself apart with custom Transam logo or WS6 in the headrest and same for floormats.Just not all over the place or ungodly Huge.Keep it clean and simple.GL
