Default My car! pics! looky

I have a crappy camera, sorry.
Nothing fancy here, just a clean white Z28. It would be a sleeper if it wasn't for the nasty lope coming from the duals. Been here a while, but never posted pics before. Lemme know what yall think

Nice ride, some lowering springs would make it look even better.

yea, I've been thinking about dropping the car with the Konis perch/isolater method, but need to get under it and tuck my duals as much as possible first. Thanks for the compliments...I don't want anything that screams "look at me"

how much does a good tint cost? Is it a small $100 job or does it cost more like a grand for a quality tint. I've thought about it.

Wings west front facia is already on my to do list, makes the ground effects look wicked. You guys give good advice.

So tint and wings west front, anything else kinda subtle I can do for appearance. All I can think of is a grille, dont know what kind, or maybe no grille at all with the holes filled. Seriously thinking about LT1 tailights and blue interior lights to match my blue cd player.
Keep em coming, you guys have good taste. Keeping stock wheels cause they're much rarer than Zo6's or Evos and really match this car IMO.

gotta get rid of those ugly stock wheels! I am getting rid of mine tomorrow. What was GM thinking when they made those! Probably the ugliest wheels ever made ( except for the late 80's model Corvettes, wow!) Very clean car, looks nice! Wings west is a good idea, I also like the SS spoiler, but whatever....

stockers more rare than Z06's? don't think so. but they don't look bad since chrome. Lots to choose from out there, but nice smooth, car. I have a white SS. I painted the calipers red and it looks awesome. Lowered mine with DMS springs. Just right. New shocks helped too. Have you seen the new hoods like the Sunoco car? Nice cowl, follows the curves of the car. Would look good too.

I haven't even thought about painting the calipers...that would be a nice subtle touch.
Gotta remember that these wheels only came on 1 or 2 year models and really only the full optioned Z's were chrome.
I slapped some chrome ZR1's on there just to see what it looked like...I guess I'm weird cause I thought the chrome snowflakes matched the car more. dunno

Sweet lookin ride as is, but the tint & lower springs will make it look even better. Ever thought of changing the hood, maybe a cowl or SS hood.

buy my wheels




$450 plus shipping

also, as you can see in that pic, along with the pics on my cardomain, i painted my calipers white. do it it looks great on a white car. i just used rustoleum gloss white paint. i removed wheel, unbolted the calipers, took out the pads and took off the rotor, shoved a rag in the caliper and painted away with the calipers still on the car. no sanding, no harsh cleaners, just a dry rag. has been on there for 2 or 3 months and still as good as when i put it on.
