My first ride in a 4th gen was a red Z28. I think yours looks good, but if I was to change anything, please paint the headlight recesses black like factory. I have never liked them painted body color no matter what. Just my opinion though, it's your car and it's looking nice!

It also looks like your SS spoiler needs a little fitment help at the front of the spoiler on both sides.

Nice and clean ride, although the headlights stand out like a sore thumb and look too modern for your car IMO and the spoiler doesn't fit very well. I would prefer a stock Z28/V6 spoiler over something that fits that poorly. Also, consider painting the area behind the grille flat, matte, or satin black. Just some thoughts on improving the overall look of the car, not trying to be a dick...

I had a body shop install my OEM SS spoiler and it was sticking up on the drivers side just like yours. I ended up tightening the bolt and it sits perfectly now..Maybe try that...

Thanks everybody!! I agree with the fitment issue with the SS spoiler. I'm still working on trying to get it lined up better. As far as the painting the headlight buckets black i happen to prefer it the color it is . I appreciate everybody's input!

The headlights are actually for a 88-98 Chevy truck if i remember correctly. Had to do some custom fitting to get them to work, but it was well worth it in comparison to stock lighting. They have projectors low beam lenses and i have a 8000k hid bulbs installed and you really can't beat the output for these cars, especially for the price which is around $100.
