This is the closest I can find when it was almost stock appearance, in 2006 right after I got back from my deployment.

I got rid of the stock grill, amber corners and the faded stock lights ASAP when I bought it and took a pic...



And this is how the Z sits now...

my 98 ss when I bought it notice how faded and bland the paint is

notice how bad the headlights are. no pics of the interior but had stains no tears or wear though when I got done it looked like day one off the show room.

^^Very nice t/a. I like the wheels you have now the best. Only thing you need is to lower it.
