Default Added Grille - 99 Z28

I'm sure everyone on this forum has seen this but I just wanted to show a current photo of my car and get opinions. Yes, the body kit was molded onto the car via fiberglass work because when I originally got the car the body kit was held on by urthane and sagging off in many places and the rocker panels were cut off the car so it was going to look awful if I removed it. I came real close to selling the car but I decided to take the risk and 3.5k later had the body kit remolded.

I personally like the outcome, asside from a few paint flaws and the body shop didnt put filled in the old holes for the old grille but I can live with it I guess.

Can't go wrong with the simple billet grill! It will look better with the area behind it painted black.

With how loud the car is with the kit and color, you really could use a drop and some nice wheels to help pull things together. I vote black for the wheels... 18/19" c6 spyder wheels.

If I got the C6 Spyder's 19" can I do the Brembo upgrade? is the offset enough without a spacer?

Looks good, however I do agree at least a bigger rim for sure. If you lower it you may run into problems with the ground effects hitting stuff. Would look sharp though.

No, although I'm not sure what body kit it is. Its the only of its kind I've ever seen and it came with the car when I bought it. I've never seen it on any other F-Body nor can I find who sells it. This has a rear spoiler like an RS spoiler but Wings West has that awful looking wing in the back.

Looks great! Getting the ground effects blended in makes it look 100x better than those that don't.
