Default Opinions of my car

I know it's a V6, but one day far in the future after I completed college it will be a V8.
No need to replace a engine with only 33,000 miles on it.
I had it since I was 15, so it's my first car.
I was just wondering what is your guys opinion of it and what should I do it besides a V8.
Should I leave it and say it's complete or it needs more done to it?

Painting the calipers is something I always wanted to do, but never got around to doing it for some reason.
maybe I can do it this winter.
Now for tinting the tail lights, I am not sure about doing that yet.
If I ever tinted tail lights I would buy a pair of grids and sand them down and then tint them.
The honeycombs are to beautiful to cover up.
Oh yeah the first two pics are more recent and the side trim been removed.
The side trim was so tacky and stuck out like a soar thumb.

thanks for the comments.

Now would the rear Camaro side markers fit on the front of my car because I think red side markers with a red car may look better than black(tinted) on a red car.

get a ram air hood, then when u buy a v8, u can just swap hoods.

i had a 98 firebird v6. traded it for a 67 mustang. i kinda miss it. any car can look mean. so if i was u, i wouldnt worry about whats under the hood.

if its anything like my firebird, it took as much gas as a v8. my 498.5rwhp cobra gets the same mileage as my v6 did.

I would leave it where its at, no sense in changing things up for sake of doing so. Thats where so many fail and add all this random crap on a otherwise good looking car. Save your money for that LS swap, a TA spoiler and some CCW/Forgeline or fikse esque wheels

Very clean, I like it. Only thing I'd suggest is a T/A spoiler. I actually like the look of the smooth hood, but ram air could be an option. You could also put a nice loud exhaust system on there if you haven't already, and yes you can make the 3.8's loud.

Clean ride.
My opinion? With only 33k miles, it needs to be driven, especially if you've had it since you were 15. Unless you're 16, get away from the computer and get driving. lol.

Yes, they are a perfect fit. I have them on my car, and it looks ****. Be aware that it's also illegal to have red sidemarkers in the front.

It's illegal in most states to have red lights on the front of the car. Red is for tail lights, so the logic is that having them on the front could create confusion at night as to which direction your driving.
