Default Pewter vert...

I picked myself upa LS1 vert.. mainly cuase I wanted a droptop and this car was really favorable to my wallet.

Problem is:

Its a Z28... I already have a 98, with Yenko stripes and an SS hood.

Pewter, the color it self, I'm really up in the air on.

Convertable, I love it when the top is down, but up is so-so...

Who has pictures of what wheels and whatnot look good on a pewter car

I know you said it's a Z28, but I've always like the look of this car (not a convertible but it's pewter). C5 wheels, tint, and some stripes



Here is my friends pewter Z28 T-Top car with ZO6 wheels. Haven't really seen too many pewter Z28 convertibles.

I'd plan on some black TT2s with a polished lip, berger panel, ss wing, smoked side markers and a sonoco cowl hood with no body line. Add some black stripes to the side of the cowl and call it a day.

The only thing that I would add to your list is a black front grille or something in that area to get rid of the lisence plate bracket.

Black rims are by far the best way to go with pewter. Black on pewter on black tops is a very good blend.
