:hail: nice burnout! nice car as well But you already added hood blisters and i love the 91-92 Z28 blisters so i say keep those. You deff can use some tint, but i say get a nice set of wheels maybe like SNYPERS for starters. Then paint your car black! Nothin like a black 3rd gen, but i think white color kicks in well with a 3rd gen, hell almost any color does Also get a white 91-92 Z28 spoiler! they look awesome with white

I put the IROCs on back in June and it made it look so much better, But Im unsure if going with bigger rims would make such an impact without atleast a highrise and maybe a hood. I dont like the iroc hood that much, It was free and mine was bent in half so I used it!

before you do much, I suggest tint.. its the least expensive out of all those things, and makes a big difference. When I did mine, I was extremely happy at the difference it made in the way the car looked... you might also want to consider painting your headlight pockets black, along with the louvers on your hood (just as a temporary thing, you could replace the hood in the future). Don't forget that you'll be sinking a good piece of change into new rims/tires, or a hood+paint...

Well the paint was done very quickly almost 2 years ago, and has some area that need to be redone. Im up @ Wyotech now and am planning on doin some other body mods while Im up here, Like shaving the handles to match the already shaved emblems and antenna, So Paint doesnt concern me right now. Right now I am trying to find a 91-92 Rear bumper cover and ground fx since mine is warped and I dont like the 82 style, And I am just going to be rattle canning that in the same color as the car (oxford white)
