Default Pics of my Z28

Its been awhile since I have taken pics of my car so I washed her yesterday before heading back up to college, so she can sit in my apartment complex parking garage. Its a '98 with 103k miles. I will be ordering some KYB AGX and Strano springs pretty soon. Let me know what you think, these were taken with my cell phone.

Looks good man. I wanted a red camaro at first, but couldn't find one, settled for black lol.

Haven't washed mine in over 3 months. Been sitting in the garage since the snow/salt has been falling. Ohio

I paid $700 for the rims and brand new tires so I can really complain about the rivets. I used the Samsung Eternity

Looks good as always man.

Also, there is going to be something else going in behind the grille eventually so he's not painting if for now.

i like the rivets personal...at least on my car but mines silver so they kinda fit the whole color scheme...i think yours look good too though, the only thing i would change is behind the grille or get the bowtie grille..they are onsale at a website i cant mention that sounds a lot like el em pee performance dot com for like 213 shipped...just a heads up

Since you have the red/black theme already I would def. keep them on. I don't think it would look any clear, more like something was missing imo.
