Default Looking for info on my new 98 Z28

Is there a website I can punch in the serial number and get my options and info on the car? Maybe . Even the history of the car. Its a American car...
Thanks

look for a sticker inside the driver side door or door jam, it will have a bunch of 3 digit codes. That should tell you everything you need to know as far as the options. Otherwise carfax is the best you can do for the other questions.

1998-2000... 0-21K

nice man, love the 98s! looks like you gotta do some polishing of the headlights (or get the halos!). What kind of exhaust is on it?

Yeah, a lot of people take them apart and polish the plastic to make them shiny. Me, on the other hand, simply bought new Halo headlights for $150...

A lot of people are installing them recently because they are cheaper than a stock replacement housing and/or they like the look (a mod is a mod!). It's simply an LED that is installed at the bottom of the ring, and when lit, it light's up the ring. Basically, it's like the BMW halo/angel eyes. If you want more info, search for "halo" or check out my other post here...
