Default My first F-Body
I'm new to the F-body world. I recently just purchased a 1994 Z-28 Camaro. I since put C5 Corvette polished wheels, 18's in the back and 17's in the front. K&N intake, flowmaster muffler, and a nitrous express wet shot kit my friend took out of his old Camaro. What do you guys think? Good start? (Oh yea, it has 102,xxx miles on it and I paid $2K for it)

WHEN I BOUGHT IT





AS IT SITS

Like hlaalu said, "take care of her and she will please you for many years to come"

I've had mine for 10 years now (2nd owner). 103,000 miles, and still going strong.

Those polished wheels make the car look 1,000,000 times better. Looks good as it sits. Just lower it a bit, and you're good to go...for now. he he he...
