Smile Posting my z28(first time)

Hi, I've been around here before but never had an ls1 to post, i got this bad boy in the beginning of june. just have whats in my sig done to it, and i whistlered the headlights. let me know what you think.










this is just after i waxed it with my porter cable i got from tropicare, i couldnt polish it or do any cutting because the backing plate failed and broke, either way i'll get to that later. I know it needs rims hardcore. but i want performance first

Looks super clean, and I like the whistler headlights...

Only thing I am not digging is the ground FX, rims, and the stock grille...

What are your appearance plans?

Appearance wise I'm thinking tinted side lenses, an SS hood down the line, I would like either SS rims blacked out or 2009 Z06 rims in comp grey or black(when for sale). I would consider taking the body kit off but 1. holes everywhere is lame, 2. its growing on me and I've seen some nice camaros on here sporting it. 3. like more unique clean styling. I may lose the grill but i only really like the slp one i may pick up later.

As a starving college student mods are gonna have to accumulate slowly. And at the top of my list so far is a catback or something performance related.
