Hey everyone, this is the GTA I just won on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...nterFriendly=1


I want to hear what you guys think about it. Specifically the headlights appear to be a little lower than the edge of the hood. Probabally not a hard thing to fix, but Id like to hear whatever you guys have to say.I also want to hear suggestions for a new paint job.

Tight ride man,you might be able to adjust the headlights with the **** on the headlight motors by turning it a little bit

good luck

Nice buy bro. That's exactly how much I paid for my IROC 2 yrs ago. It's an '89 IROC G92 L98 car, not bad for $3500. Looks great! Take care of it, and let us know how she runs.

I intend on repainting it and putting a 4 gen spoiler on it. Anyone have any suggestions?

What can anyone tell me about a stage 2 computer chip and super turbo exhaust?

I can second that one.

looks nice though. Wish i had an L98.

The chip is prolly just like a JET or Hypertech Offroad/Racing chips, advances the timing a little and adds some fuel from what ive read. Not gonna hurt. If i had to guess on the exhaust, i'd say its prolly just a new muffler, maybe a catback, prolly not a whole system (headers).
