like EVERYONE has said, theres nothing wrong with adding the hood/spoiler. just dont rebadge it.

i agree with you but at the same time, i dont. because, from my searches Z28's typically run 6-10K, where as SS's are usually 10and up, mostly in the 12-14K range though. so thats a considerable difference. and you could easily eith buy aftermarkets or search an find OEM SS parts to have the same look. same reason i didnt get the WS6. but, like you said, every once and a while there is an SS to be had for cheap

Thanks everyone. I am a little sketchy on the SS parts because it's not an SS. Believe me, I wanted an SS. I went with this Z28 because it only had 16,XXX miles on it at the time. It was also stock. I'll check out the other things. I really appreciate it!

Just don't start slapping SS badges all over it.

That would be just dumb.

Like they said its all good as long as you dont put the SS emblems, but if it was me I'd do a 4" VFN cowl hood and a freedom design spoiler. Thats my plan for my car whenever I get the extra cash.
