got the wheels and brand new tires from Ebay for $650!!! plus 175$ for spacers (yes thats all 4) what do you guys think? i was thinking i needed Z28 hood blisters or SS hood.

 

2nd pic

 

last one

 

I think they look pretty dang good!
You should look into an SS hood or something of the like. Ya, even a Z28 hood would look good. It would look similar to this (my brother's, he just recently got it) I kinda like it:

 

I really like that hood. It might just be because of that angle, but it looks great.

 

yeah im leaning to geting the SS hood.. too bad i have to pay 175$ just in shipping costs.. that really sucks.. there isnt any place that sells them on the west coast. its all east coast

 

Dave: Give me a call and I can tell you where to get one local.
Or PM me.

 

Nice looking car man!!! I added the hood blisters to my stock flat RS hood. Here's a picture!

 

what size are the rear rims? 11's or 9.5's?

 

Those look pretty slick! A "blister" hood would look right at home, and would be a pretty simple addition, however an SS hood would compliment those rims well. Regardless of hood choice, I'd paint the headlight buckets black.

 

that looks sweet!

what lowering kit do you have?

 

car looks awesome. i love those wheels...
im not up-to-date on their pricing, but that seems like a good deal.

imo, an aftermarket hood would really set it off...
(3" cowl)

 

Why don't you invest in a motor before you try to make it look faster than it is?

 

Let's see, his sig says:
"Turbo City TBI, Turbo City Matched 55# injectors, Turbo City injector spacer, K&N extreme air cleaner, 2.5" cat back, Flowmaster 80 series, J.E.T. Stage 2 chip, 160* thermo, Hooker 2055 shorties with 3" Y pipe, Catco 3" cat, Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold, Accel 8mm wires, Accel coil, A/C delete pulley, Be Cool Twin Fans"

As well as:
"mods waiting to happen, Zexel posi w/3.73 gears, 416 heads, LT1 cam".

Now, we can even put all that aside, because maybe, just maybe, going as fast as you can isn't a priority for everyone. OR perhaps cosmetics come first for some, then making the car go as fast as it looks. WHO KNOWS... WHO CARES.

 

1st question..17 X 9.5's on all 4

2nd question.. Eibach Sportlines

3rd question.. i acutally did buy a 350 TPI from some one on this board.. said it had less than 80k on it, new heads, runs perfect.. too bad he neglected to tell me it spent the last 3 months outside in the rain.. i pulled the heads and the cylinders had 4 inches of sludge in them, sent the engine back and got all my money back too... BUT.. since i am getting married in less than 2 months.. i really havent had the time to dig into the engine as i use the car at least 4 times a week.

so cosmetic is alot easier for me to do at the moment. plus its cheaper and the last cosmetic thing i want is a hood. thats it.

i agree with painted the pockets black i was gonna do that on sat.

as far as the engine goes.. i havent updated my sig in a while, but what i plan on is a rebuilt 350(355) and use an LT1 intake.

but yeah having a car that looks fast and isnt.. sucks but im working on the speed factor.

thanks for the comments guys.

 

side pic so you can see the overall stance.

the ride isnt as harsh as i thought it would be with sportlines. they're quite nice and there almost no body roll when cornering at 25-30.

 

is ur front part of your car spray painted from a rattlecan?? looks like it, may just be the pic tho, nice rims

 

are you talking about mine?? no... sorry man.. maybe its just the lighting..

 

Just have a few questions for you about your wheels. I have been looking to get a set just like that but in black and was curious about where you got the spacers and how you knew you needed 2" spacers. I have an 89 Firebird Formula 350 and I would really love to get a set of those rims but just want to know all the parts I need and where to get them before I go and order the wheels. Any help you can give me would greatly be appreciated.

 

man i love the stance of them sportlines i wonder if they ride ne worse then the hotchkis.

 

Slick

 

awsome

 

if you go to ebay.. and type in wheel spacers in the parts section, i found a company that makes them ALOT cheaper than some places people tell me to them from.

the add says " $175 for wheel spacers, any size" or something to that effect. its a company in FL. i had them in no time and at about half the cost of what people pay on here.. i think its 350$ with shipping and everything was 190 i think.

i was told i need 2" spacers from people on this board who currently have them. if they are from a fourth gen, then you need 2" all around, or maybe 1 3/4" (odd size). they are WELL made by professional company. i'll try and see if i still have the name of them.

as far as black.. they are little bit more hard to come by, but not impossible. best bet might be to find a set thats not see good looking, buy then cheap, then have them powder coated.

 

very nice, but now it needs black headlight pockets and a different hood

 

yeah yeah... i know.. the hood is going to wait just a bit longer but the headlight pockets are in the works..


but hey Mark.. you'll be happy to know i have HOOKER Headers

(since you are the un-official Hooker spokes person)

 

lol, I only promoted the cat-back
I have Hedman long tubes
