Default need opinion for my quick photoshop

i just bought this 2000 z28 on ebay for a good price, and i cant wait to get it. i know the purple body kit is beyond . i did a quick photoshop of the wheels and i really like them black with the lip unpainted, what do you think of the wheels(not much you can do for the snowflake wheels). and painting the body kit is the first thing im gonna do when i get this car.


also does anyone know how that spoiler is mounted? can i take it off?
thanks

Probably on w/ double sided tape. That spoiler isn't that bad. There's a guy on this site w/ a red one kinda a dh look alike... How much did you pick it up for?

I think the rims look ok but given you can probably sqeeze 100-150 bucks out of them, and that you can buy lots of rims for 400-500... it just isn't worth the time imho. Save up, get some nice ones.

Oh, and I can only hope you bought that car off a female. Please please please tell me it was not a dude rolling around w/ purple gfx.

Snowflakes look horrible any way you slice it. Buy some cheapie Z06 wheels or something off ebay to tide you over at the very least.

Do not waste your time painting those wheels, get some better ones.

BTW, very nice spoiler!

Your in Cali so you don't have to worry about snow or bad weather. I say spend the coin and get a set of rims and tires and you'll have a nice ride. If it were me I would ditch the spoiler too. Just doesn't look right. Looks like your comming in for a landing with full flaps.

First off let me clarify that the car isn't my style but it doesnt bother me that bad. My style would be without the ground effects and spoiler , but whatever

1.Paint those Ground Effects to match rest of car
2. Leave the Snowflakes alone , don't paint them , get rims when you get tha money
3.Do what you want with the spoiler , it doesnt look that bad to me.

Nice Car by the way , it has alot of potential

…and get some new wheels. ZR1s are pretty cheap and look WAY better. The 10 spoke 35th LE wheels would look good on a black Z as well. They are also pretty reasonable from GM Parts Direct. (35th LE Wheels)
BTW, good buy!
