They don't sell anything like that except the spectre hood. I've called about that hood and was informed that GM hadnt approved the hood for sale.

With the fender flares though, you would have to get yours wheels with a custom offset, but man could you run a fat rear tire with the flares.

yeah, im not sure what the stock offset is but you could get a really nice lip in the rear with a rear flare, if dont tastefully of course, and probably a set of 315'z or more. WIth a 295 in front....

Now, that would running on rails!!

well, you dont have to settle for one, you can just make a list of your priorities and tkae it from there.

BAsically, what is it about the V that you would love to add and what can you HONESTLY live with until you have more cashola to modifiy in the hopefully near future.

RIms would be sweet but IMO, that is the last thing i would. THe stocks rims are nice and you can fit almost a set of 275'z on them, though its not recommended or at least i dont. 255-265 all around plenty of tire.

A cam would definitely be nice and get you some more power, but with that cam you'll need to furhter the mods along to get the real advantages of it.

I would go stereo, since these cars ae already quite fast, capable of sub 12'z with the right 60' foot. Enjoy the cady ride.

Then get the cam...


good luck and let see some pics of your ride...hmmmm

The only thing I really like about that car is the hood.

the hood looks like **** dude, If you had the car completly tricked out, it would look OK. You have seen the hood on the Race Car right, the one im trying to get.

I think that hood might look good on my V. I don't like the way it sits on that particular v nor do I dig the hoodpins. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion anyway,
