Your opinions and suggestions on my 86 z28!!

Just wanted to see what yall think about my camaro. The only future plan now is to lower it. I painted it in my driveway with $35/gallon paint so it isn't perfect but heck its just a d/d.

Well, Ive always had a hard on for 3rd gens. $35/gallon paint?? lol, if the shoe fits......But I would have to agree with 90camaro on changing the wheels. IMO the IROC wheels look the best on these things. And btw theres nothing "just a..." with third gens.

I think you should throw on the stock wheels and tires...for now. Untell you get some wheels. Then lower it, tent windows, and shave the door handles....and some type of hood that you like maybe? Looks good to me...

looks good from here! not a fan of those wheels though, not necessarily the wheel itself just doesnt go with these cars well, imo. But as long as u like it its nice right?

Yeah I understand about the wheels, I have the stock ones with new tires but I just think there too plain. I got those wheels/tires/spacers for $300 and thats about all I could afford since i'm in college. They look a little better in person. And midnight your paint is probrobly better than mine. My car is one of those that looks great from about 8 - 10 ft away

I'd call that $300 wheel expense a loss, and just put the stock ones back on. I'm impressed you painted that yourself!!

Sorry man, I don't like the wheels either, but to each his own
I'd probably tint that rear window and get some clear corners for it.
Of course lowering it will look killer.
Keep up the good work
