for your viewing pleasures, I introduce...
First off, I'd like to thank all of you on here for all the information, I have 1986 z28 that has never run as well as it is now, since I started reading here so thanx again. and now for the good stuff.

Sorry about the shadows, it hides the really bad dirt spots, until I can get it washed again.

I like the grill....
I would suggest maybe getting some VHT nightshade and using it to black out all the lights on the front, or else take the blackouts off.......
Just my .02
But nice car nonetheless...

I tired the VHT stuff and it looked ok, but when I put the grille in, I needed the clear lenses to help so the shiney grille didn't look out of place. I'll get it cleaned one day and take new pics, out in the sun, the grille really does look a whole hell of a lot better in the sun.

I was looking at those last night, I was considering them but I'm really not sure what they're going to look like, I would like to see some pics of what they look like glowing. If anybody has them, let me know what you think.

Since the grill was not a factory option, Mark can't like it.
I think it is a nice Z and I do like the billet grill. Thread Starter

GTS blackouts
Does anybody here know how to get those 3 letters off, they're not stickers and I really don't want to scrape them off and chance scratching the covers.

I used a rough paper towel and some Citrusolve to remove the ones on my headlight covers (before the cracked!). It took a lot of elbow grease!
As a fellow 86 Z owner, your car is sweet! And that 355 is a big diference from the stock 305 isn't it?

Awsome car man, I love the grill, and the rims, there the same ones on my 91.. Are they aluminum or just painted? (need to know b/c of really bad brake dust)
:hail: Really nice car tho, one of my favorite 3rd gens ever.
