Updated quite a few things :)
I've been real busy lately trying to get my car on the road, but have made a few changes along the way. I think it looks alot more tasteful now. I put on my new wheels that i painted and polished up (I will run these until I can afford 17's), polished Underdrive pullies, new emblems, chrome alternator, took the stickers off my airbox, and a Hooker catback finishes it off.
I ordered clear side markers Friday, and can't wait to get them on. Lemme know what you guys think, and if you have any suggestions feel free.
The new wheels & emblems-
Hooker Catback and the new Yokohama 245's-
Finally the engine bay, notice the lack of stickers and new pullies & alt.-

BEFORE with the ugly stickers-

Thanks guys. I haven't really decided on a wheel yet, but Centerlines "dagger" looks pretty sweet to me. I think they would match my flames really well.
I was thinking 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 in the rear? That will be a couple years from now anyways

Thats one tight ride!! Looks much better with the new stuff. Especially without those stickers! The ghost flames are sweet. What brand cowl is that? Is it 3 or 4"? Did it fit in or did you have to make adjustments?

It's a 4" Atlantic Coast customs. It was a very cheap price, but now I know why. It needed a decent amount of work to get it flat and fit right
I like it though, it doesn't look as big as the Harwood 4" out there. Plus it gives me room for future motors

Car looks nice, I like how you got everything a little cleaner, and i still like the paintjob, although the new wheels will complete the whole package....
Although a new hood shocks never hurt....
....just giving you a hard time, i went without hood shocks for nearly 2 years....lol

Tuned, I honestly think your car is possibly the best looking car on this site, although IMO the jagged lines of those wheels wouldn't fit any thirdgen well. Either way that car's freakin sweet

I also forgot that I might want to put lowering springs on the car in the future, it depends on how many things the car will scrape on though.
If anybody has any wheel suggestions, lets see 'em... it will give me some more ideas. Thanks guys

IMO, if you got some 16" IROC wheels and painted them the same way you did those Z28 wheels, it would look MUCH more aggressive
