Appearance & Detailing - Updated pics of my Red/Black Z28

Just welded up the 6LE tips myself and installed the O.E Valance and figured it was time to get some new pictures. :cheers:
Here is what the car looked like when I got it:

I already have a Sunoco hood waiting for paint, had an SLP grill that I got rid of since I am doing something a little different here soon. I think that will do it for appearance for now...probably some Black Weld RTS rims and THEN I will be happy overall lol.

Great job, I especially love the cars stance!

Gorgeous car! I love those wheels and a sunoco hood will make that car perfect!

Great looking car. I think you could easily pull off a front splitter.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it!
I cannot wait to get the hood on and its amazing how this CME changes up the sound. :drive:

Damn that looks so good!

Very nice, make sure you post pics when you get the hood

Looks great. At first I saw the front and said to myself that really needs an SLP grill, then I read the rest. :lol: What do you plan on doing?

(2nd pic) = "right click" then "set as wallpaper" on my laptop ;)

Awesome work; you should be really proud!:cheers:

One of the nicer looking verts I have seen. Digging the red and black.

Very nice. Not usually a fan of convertibles, but yours looks bad ass.

That's badass I love those rims.

Nice work. Love the mod list!

Looks tons better

Slp grill fail,big as intercooler win! Lol, great looking vert, i always said a cme smooths out the sound alot,

This makes me miss my vert in a bad way, they are a BLAST! Great looking car man.

That Z looks bad ass! What a transformation. Stock grille is killing it though :(. An SLP Bowtie grill would add the perfect touch!

looks awesome, im looking into c5s, whats your wheel tire set up??

Beautiful!

Oh I'm a sucker for a vert with a roll bar! I love it!!! I miss my camaro....

Thanks a lot I am extremely happy with the way the car turned out, especially considering how shitty it was when I first got it. :eek2:

I agree about the grill...I should have maybe kept the SLP grill and did the two tone red/black on it. I do have a couple ideas on the table since I need to keep the front plate but if all else fails I have a custom chrome/black chevy logo from emblempros that will be added after I fill in the holes and paint the middle of the bumper gloss black.

My rim/tire set up is: 17x9.5 (275/40R17 Potenza Re760's) 18x10.5 (335/30ZR18 Pirelli PZero Rosso's).

Thanks again guys I definitely think the hood will complete the look!

what all you have to do to get 335s to fit in rear?? roll and bfh

Yea thats about it as long as you have tubular lower control arms and an adjustable PHB...preferably on car you are set.
BUT we have a high dollar tire machine with dual mounting arms so that helps out a lot when mounting these tires on a 10.5" rim, 1" wider rim which they say is safer would also be easier lol. No abnormal wear at almost 20k miles and they have seen some serious cornering and very high speeds.

Nice work!

sweet i dont think i would go that big, bad ass car tho man cant wait to see it with the hood on

I personally do not really care for verts, but yours looks pretty good. I think I saw this car on the street before. There cant be that many verts in that configuration around here.....

Im sure we have crossed paths before. :burn:
Nice car man and sounds like a stout setup, are you able to pass emmissions with that Cam or is it registered elsewhere?

I'm digging it.

Thanks for the compliment. Im sure they would have me arrested in the parking lot of the emissions test facility LOL. If im at a traffic light, my eyes start burning from the fumes haha. Its registered out in the boonies where I grew up. Actually hitting up a dyno day this Saturday down at RWR. We will see what it does with the 9" under it :chug:
