Check my car out (Finally Pics)

I just got a digital camera. Here are some pics. I am waiting to put on the Z28 Hi Rise spoiler and get the car painted Black. Tell me what you think......but don't be too harsh. Thanks for looking!

not too shabby I'd do a few things different, like get the z28 grill insert and some more square and not so rectangular lights.

p.s.

don't be surprised if this ends up in "Apearance and Detailing" after a couple of posts.

Very nice wheels!and hood! I noticed on your sig that you have dynomax cat back and a gutted cat. I used to have this setup. Unless you feel that you absolutely need your car to look smog legal, you should go to the local muffler shop and get that thing removed. When I removed my gutted cat I got more power and my muffler sounded alot better. The cat is a resonating chamber that is sucking all of your sound.
How are the 3.23's? What are your RPM's like?

Looks good.

Is that the "turbo" style hood? I've seen ads for it, and thought it might be too much, but it blends pretty well.

Why do you want to paint the car black? 92 was the only year of that color on a 3rd gen. Plus, there weren't that many of that color either.

The car looks good with the route you're taking, but IMO, if you change that color, you will get many a "Boo, hisss" outta me.

Did anyone notice I can't count. 4 to 6. lol.
The rims, tires, and Twin Turbo hood I got off Ebay really cheap.
The 3.23 gears dropped about 2-3 tenths off of my quarter mile. They are a good all around setup. I pull about 2200-2300 torpms at 70 mph. (with 245/50R16 tires). Thanks for the replies!

Have you ever owned a black car?

It's your car, and you should do what you want, but black is a real B!TCH to keep clean, shows every scratch and flaw and dust particle. I have two black TAs and I love them when they are clean, but I'll never own another black vehicle again.

Just my $.02, good luck with your paint and I love those wheels and hood.
