What do you guys think about my car? How do you think it would look with tinted windows? Or a cowl hood? Maybe even sport stripes(what color?)

Tinted windows pretty much always look good unless its colored tint or mirror tint. I'd get a cowl, but not too big, maybe 3" tops, but only if you put that 350 in there

thanks for the compliments about my car. the hood on it right now is a 84 z28 hood. when i crashed it i has a friend who was putting a 355 in his camaro so he was going to buy a cowl so i bought it from him for $100.

I think it looks fine like it is. A cowl hood on a 170hp 305 just screams "Poser" to me.

My RS was teal when I got it, and the window tinting really looked great with that color....also got the SS Hood..
now all I need is the 350
unfortunatly all the pictures I took of it were with the windows down!
...but it looked really good.

I think your car looks excellent the way it is 
I'm a sucker for the stock GM styling. They nailed it each and every year, IMHO.
If you want to get some more hp out of either a 305 or a 350, just follow the mods in my sig, but go up a step or two on the cam grind for a 350.
Also, those particular 305 heads are not the hot ticket. But get a set from a tpi or carbed 305 ($20 or so at the wrecker) and do them according to the mods outlined in the link at the end of my sig and you'll have heads that will support up to 450 hp

1) Thats my favorite stock 3rd gen color.
2) Ditch the grille and get a IROC grille.
3) Ditch the wheels. They look OK but I never liked them.
4) Hood- SS or leave the one u got. It really doesn't look bad.
5) Tint
6) NO STRIPES. IMO it will just take away from the awesome color.
Sweet car, but in the end all of the decisions are up to you and to satisfy your personal tastes.
