MY NEW RIDE! And future mods to the thirdgen

(edit: I got a fourth-gen and was wondering: )

I'm trying to decide on what to do with the 91 as far as appearance goes. I was going to put a fourth-gen style spoiler on it and a ram-air II hood and some ROH Snypers or ZS on it. But now I'm thinking about just restoring and painting it as is. I'd rather go with my original plan but now I have to divide up the money between the two cars. One thing I was thinking about doing was putting ROH Snypers on the fourth-gen and then putting the aluminum alloy wheels from it onto my third-gen... think that would look good? Anybody have pictures of that?

Another thing I thought about doing was getting leather seats for this car and then putting the current seats in the 91.

Anyhow, let me know what you think.

Hehe I was waiting for someone to make a traitor comment.

But hey, I still have the 91! Now I can work on it at my leisure. Plus, it's not like I bought a Mustang or Civic or something...

lol yeah... I feel like a real collector now that I have more than one 'bird. You actually span 3 generations too..cool.

So what does everyone think... would those wheels look good on the thirdgen or should I leave 'em? I like the way they look on the 95 but I'm curious as to how they'd look on the 91.

The way things are going these days....they'll lock it anyway. Nice find though. As for the ROH wheels, I have ZS' on my IROC and love 'em.

Yes, they definitely look sweet on your car.

I agree, it'll probably get locked, though those are genuine questions about my thirdgen that I want opinions on, not that I just threw in there to prevent it being locked...

You've been around here long enough to know the rules. Read them again, they aren't that hard to follow:

You may NOT post about :

- Look at this RlCER'S car!
- Look at this Mustang!
- Look at this (insert any other non-thirdgen f-body vehicle)
- Look at this (anything non-thirdgen related, INCLUDING OTHER YEARS OF F-BODIES)
- I have XYZ for sale! (We have a classifieds section, use it)
- Anything off-topic

Oh. I thought you were going to lock the thread but forgot. Heh.

Well, anyone that wants to see the pics can just go here.

But yeah, if I did put these wheels on the 91, I would need spacers?
