Default My Z. Any ideas?

This is my car as it sits now. It has come quite a ways since I got it. Just wondering what you think of the car so far, and any ideas on what other stuff can be done to it. I'll be getting the SS hood and spoiler next year, or if a really good deal comes by soon. Anywho, let me know.

I agree. Just a drop. Other than that it looks good.

I want to drop it, but not til I move to a city where dropping it is safe. Right now, I still kind of scrape quite a few places. So that's soon when I move. =\

the ss hood and spoiler will be a nice touch, though I'm a fan of the Ultra Z. I'd suggest some new wheels, I always hated black wheels. Some TTs or Smoothies would do your car some justice.

that's a great looking z you got there, i love the white/black scheme you got going on. There's not much more to add considering you will be getting the two things that i would of recommended.

you should get some custom paint work done on the spoiler and hood (manta stripe, or maybe racing stripes). and maybe lower it,.,.,.,.,.,.it looks pretty good so far!

Uh .... yank the halos and get stockers, do the whistler mod. Gloss black berger panel. SS hood and SS spoiler(you already said you were planning on getting them anyway). Ever consider getting some TT2's and getting the spokes powdercoated black? That would look su-wheat on your car, it would be a huge upgrade from ZR1's.

Regardless you got yourself one clean Z28 as it is now

Something looks a little odd about those tires. Are those 16" rims? It almosts looks as if the tires are too small for the wheels. Other than that car looks great. Love the looks of the front end! I would do a gloss berger and drop it.

Looks great so far! My suggestions are:

Tint
Blacked out tail panel
white bowtie decals on the centercaps
drop
hood / spoiler if you want
