Im suprised a cop even knew the sidemarkers were supposed to be there. Around here there are not a enough thirdgens for a cop to know one way or another. Mine will be gone soon. As for wheels i think a set of ZR1's would look better.

man why's my car said to be so plain, I just like a very clean cut car. When i put an ss hood on , then i have the trenz billet grille, hood pins, then say i put 2 nice dual tips out the back...
I know what i could do. Silver ghost flames with maybe a light light pearl blue in it starting at the front all over the hood and fenders. Anyone else want to state their opinion on what could make the car more alive i guess you could say.

I think it would look cool way its lowered with z06 wheels. For some reason i seem to like z06 wheels when they are in gunmetal grey.

I also think a reg Z hood like on the jap car would look better or atleast a smaller cowl and some zo6 brakes behind the rims with the red calipers. Def dont want to take the side markers off that is dangerous anyway I got an idea for mine but not sure if i want to yet. Lets see I also like door handles and the side moldings Z28 tail lights would help also with 92 Z28 gfx. What throws your car off to me the most is the hood and stock rims.

whats wrong with getting rid of the side markers. My dad and brother did that to his 88 firebird, that should be done in the summer some time , I dont think anyone would ever notice that their wernt lights there.
Because when your on a 3 lane or more highway and you want to go into a center lane the guy in the lane on the other side doesnt try at the same time and hit you. The lights on the side help him see you which is why they have them and the more near the center of the car the better like the ausie turn signals and the mirrors ones.

maybe it is just the color or the finish or something, but I would definitely not shave everything off that car... yuck.

You know, crazy3rdgen, a couple of days, I swore I saw your car sitting in a used car lot here. Only difference was the grill, not sure if it had an high rise or not. It caused me to take a double glance.

you realize that if you EVER want to take the car to the track, you won't pass tech with shaved door handles.
