Looks good. All it needs is lowering springs and it'll be killer.

Lowering is dumb.

Looks sharp Derek. Is it a Z or an SS? Please badge it accordingly if it's a Z28.

wow looks alot like mine except for a few little things...

but i do think that a slight lowering does help the look of the car, escpecially with the black top.

but the car does look great, the chrome zo6's look much better then painted.

but id think the black billit grille might stand out better?

looks nice, ever take that beast off road? kidding, nice car. doing the whistler mod to your headlights would complete the look on the front end, and the grille may look better if it was a powder coated black one. but looks nice to me the way it is, but like everyone else says, some springs will really finish it off

Looks great! Only thing I would do, besides going a little lower, is paint the rearviews white and go with clear corners and ditch the smoked covers. JMO.
