after a long time of trying to get some decent pics up i just braved the cold ran my freshly washed car to the local high school and snapped some photos. opinions please good or bad. btw should i paint my door handles pearl also? and should i remove the "door ding" guards or keep them? hope everyone likes

 

another

 

last one

 

i love pearl

 

wow thanx for the reply already. i dont have any before pics but i sure wish i did. this car was a disaster but after i totaled my 92 RS i just had to take her in and make her beautiful again

 

well it looks awesome... i like everything except the rims... i think if you got a set of 18 inch boyd coddingtons or something it would look better... everything else is perfect!

i especially like the illegal tint... i think i'll do the same... lol

 

the rims always get mixed opinions. but it was the best thing i could find in my price range then. hopefully spring 04 ill find some good 18's.

 

I love the pearl and even like the rims too! Nice job man!

Kat

 

I dont like white at all, but i must say it looks damn good on urs :lala:

 

ME LIKEY

Looks real sharp, man; real clean.

 

love the color but not too fond of the rims. is that the factory color and lastly why the hood pins?

 

i love it man.....i really think the hood pins look nice. granted, its a stock hood but it give the car a really nice look.

 

love the car, looks really clean, and the rims are a 50/50 thing to me, dunno if i like them or not. also dont paint the door handles pearl, u need something to break up the color and the handles seam to do it. to much white or just too much of any color some times doesnt look right at all.

 

:rockon:
Nice car man, them rims look similar to the 2002 10-spoke Camaro SS rims. I hear ya on the mixed opinions about them but "to each his own", right? Very nice, keep it clean! There hard to come by these days..

 

Beautiful car......white stands out really nice.

 

That is really nice looking. Keep the Ding guards, they are nice accents, trust me. Where did you get your clear corner parking lights? i want some those look real tight.

 

pretty slick looking Z!

 

I removed my door gaurds and think it looks alot cleaner down the side of the car.
RS looks good, i am indifferent to the rims i don't think they look bad and having different rims than everyone else is always a good thing.

 

nikh23 - thats not a factory color at all. me and my uncle took a white base (like a nissan color maybe) the found a pearl that i liked (i didnt want a whole lot of pearl) then lightly sprayed some pearl over top that and finally clear coated it. nice 3 stage paint. o and the hood pins i just felt like i needed to do something to kind of make my car stand out a little more and ive always like the way they look. i just recently put hood pin cables on and they look even better IMO. but im looking at getting a big block stinger hood or even an ss hood for the z now.

CbrastTsTelKchK - i got my clear corners from www.procarparts.com and am very happy. i think they make our cars look soooooooooo much better up front.

 

CamarosRUS,
That is a very clean ride!!! Huge Fan!! I think you should keep them black how they are. However, I do think you should remove the ding protectors. It would clean the sides up. The tint looks Bad@ss. love it. It seems that everyone has mixed feelings about the wheels and so do I. A nice set of polished wheels would look good in my opinion, 17's with some low pros. Other than that Keep it clean man!!!

 

Keep it just how it is except the rims i would change them later on down the road! Very Clean and sharp looking keep up the good work and I hope to see more pics!

 

That is a clean looking Z. I like the pearl a lot better than plain white too. tint is nice also

 

what kind of wheels are the ones that are on it. i love the color i plan on painting my car that color but using a mercedez white with a little pearl too. what size are those wheels.

 

That looks great, but I'm not sure if I like the rims or not.

 

just plain awesome.

the rims aren't for me, but the paint is fantastic.

clear side markers look so cool with that pearl white.

nice work

 

thanx for all the p[ositive feedback guys. im trying to get some money for a good set of 18's. i didnt really like those much but i needed something for the time being. keep it coming!

kammi10 - the rims are made from the company Detata. they make a lot of big chrome wheels. and they are 17".

 

OH SWEET LORD!!!

That is the BEST looking car I have EVER seen.

Sorry if this has been posted. What color is that? How'd it get painted. How much Pearl did it take? Is that straight pearl or mixed with something. OH MAN damn thats nice.

how much did it cost you?

That is the color I was looking to see on a car forever. Please tell me what EXACTLY that is.....!!

All I can say is wow

 

It's your car, but if it were mine I would do nothing to it exept drive!

 

I like the hood pins, clear side markers, and rims - it's a tight package.

 

the more that i look at the car, the more i love the stock hood with the pins in it...and this car looks pretty damn good with the door guard/side moldings on it, i think if he took it off it would take away from the look.
AWESOME looking car.

 

I looked in every section of lighting at www.procarparts.com and came up with nothing for those clear corners man. Any help?

well don't i just feel like a mustang owner

Thanx, just got 'em

 

Schweeet!!!:hail:

 

Nice lookin car.....dislike the wheels A LOT though. Get sum nice 5-spoke chromies . Also, the hood pins are too much of a "every ***** has one" thing. but otherwise a very good looking car, I usually dont like 3rd gens in white, but I do liek yours.

 

The car is very well balanced and not too over the top...any more changes and it might start to look too busy...I also don't care for the rims (too much Bling)....Other than the rims, the car is super tight

 

I'd keep the door guards. I like them, they add something to break up monotony in the middle of the car.

 

too much bling is right thats what i was after when i first got them but now theyre kinda old. right now im working on some new seats for the car along with a 4th gen console swap. hopefully christmas will be good to me and i can almost afford some good 18" billet wheels. i really like kandied91z's but who doesnt!!! its just hard to start to modify the interior and get some new rims and then try to start on your new engine all at the same time. ill keep everyone posted on the progress tho

Daishi - thats a white base (i forogt what manufacturer we used) that i sprayed down like a normal coat. then just a little pearl was sprayed over top of that. i didnt want much because too much pearl will make the car look more yellow than white. it only cost me $300 for parts because i get discounts and me and the uncle painted it. pretty good deal i think. but i couldnt tell you exactly how much pearl we used because it was all totally "custom" (aka guesswork! lol)

 

Sweet looking car

 

White was never my favorite color on a thirdgen, but it looks good on that car. Nice job bro.

 

Awesome car man!! That looks kick a$$!!!

 

Awsome paint !

 

Niiiiice Car

 

i love it! :hail:

 

schweeet

 

well me and my lady did christmas today (christmas eve) and i know shes a keeper. i got lca's and an adjustable panhard rod from her for christmas!!! even though you cant see it it makes my car look so much better

 

hey camaroRUS check your private messages lol thanks

 

PM sent back. i wish i had some daytime pics but the next sunny day ill try to get some out.

 

werd thanks mang. if you need me to host just send them to me and ill PM you the links. merry xmas

 

wouldnt do 18s, id get another set of 17s and throw on some firehawk's. those EP's are really nice. plus 18inch tires are way too much and your gonna have no side wall so your more prone to bent wheels. trust me on this, i work in a wheel shop and i see bent wheels all day long on the ricers
