does this sound like a good combo for my 86 IROC-Z

im just wondering what you guys think about my ideas for my 86 iroc z that i hit a deer with.. i thought id upgrade soem things while i fix her up... does this sound good.

things i will add

91/92 z28 GFX
91/92 z28 high rise spoiler
4 inch coul induction hood (harwood "bolt on")
2 inch drop springs
shaved antenna door handles and locks
17/18 inch rims
evetualy down the road LS6/T56 swap
also the car is getting painted viper blue... i was going to add white racing stripes but i think i am going to change my mind i want it VIPER blue with white iroc-z door stickers and silver or white iroc z badges if i can find them..

how does this sound and if any one has any pics of a simulare car post it i want to see what this will look like.

also here is a pic of my car with out any work done yet and a missing front end

Why ask for opinions (like *******s everyone has one)? Do what you want with your car--you only have you to satisfy.

Well, yeah, but that's 'cause they're the epitome of the 3rdgen's evolution. That's really not a bad thing, guys.

yeah lol i agree i know that every one has them but around here ware i live no one realy does all you see here are rusted out sport coupes and every now and then you will see a nice z28/iroc-z... but any way i have alwase loved the way 4 inch coul hoods look on these cars and i think the high rise spoiler and the gfx will compliment it big time... i do like the input though guys... also i am going to be moving to texas in the next 6 months so the bumpy roads of the north country are not going to be a big deal for me in that area....

I agree with what everyone else has said. Not trying to be an ***, but that Camaro will look like every other Camaro on this message board.

That might have some truth to it. But even if it does, is that really such a terrible thing? His car will still look incredible.

Besides I'm willing to wager his Camaro will be the nicest in his area, which is really all that matters. It's one thing to get props online, it's another completely when a complete stranger approaches you to tell you how sweet your car is.
