Introducing...

My Project 91 Z28
Pics not working try the links!

http://www.cardomain.com/id/april8994



Hey all it was a crappy day today for a photo shoot! I just couldn't wait to take some pics though for you all! Tomorrow will be beautiful out so I will be updating my car domain website with some additional pics. Check in and I will have some different pics up!

I did not lower the car one inch and don't plan to any time soon...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next on my wish list are:

Door Moldings

Get my bolt in Autopower Roll Bar instaled

BAER 13" Brake kit with rear disk

Koni Shocks

AGR Steering box 12:1

MOOG front end rebuild kit

Some Spohn suspension pieces
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will be awhile for all that yet in the next ten years it should all be done how I want it including a earthshaking engine! Until then she will sleep in the garage 99% of the time :

excellent choice of wheels. The large diameter makes the car looking higher than it is, i would drop it if you can.

Yes, nice rims...I second the opinion of lowering.

Very nice car. I like the rim choice also. I wouldnt lower it either, it like the rake (stance) on it.

Im partial to stripes also.

looks good , i just went to your cardomain site, dont lower it , it looks great the way it is , and dont put an ss hood on the car, leave it just like it is on the outside now . so do you have any plans for big brakes on the front and rear?

Those are the heritage stripes, meant to look like the rally stripes from earlier generation Camaros, they don't go on the roof.

wow, very impressive. Makes me REALLY wanna go out and get some bigger wheels. Lowering is an option....but the stance really looks amazing. If it were my car...I would get the bigger brakes and not lower it. Looks great man

That car is straight Titz.

I do vote for the SS hood, but thats the only one that I think would look good IMO. Keep the stripes too.

Nice rims.

If you lower it, I wouldn't go more than 1 inch.

damn x's everywhere.. half of them on your cardomain aren't opening up either.

looks good, the 91/20 is a decent transition although i'm not a fan of the rake look the billet wheel is a good choice on your part. the car looks 100% better then it did with the old zo6 wheels.

what did you end up going with for your backspacing and tires? with the pictures as small as they are it's hard to tell so it looks good now, i'd like to see the larger ones.

also i'm sure you have driven it around the block a bit now, what do you think about the transition in size. not knowing your original tires to compare to the new ones it would be nice to know how those 19's are riding up front.

looks good.

It looks very nice. But I don't personally like the rims. I think they look tacky, it's just my opinion though. I think anything bigger than 17 it too much.

But awsome car anyways.

Thanks guys! Appriciate your comments either way. I look at a lot of the car mags and all I see are 1st gens, chargers, 57's,and many other cars with the huge tire on the back with a huge lip and kinda raked look. I also like Choppers so there ya go. I like all kinds of wheels and tires yet this is what I wanted next.

Man that sucks the pics are not working I will host them somewhere else and get it fixed asap.

The car rides great I love it in the long fast corners it turns awesome with no pushing or looseness. Its like its on rails...
As far as ride quality it is about the same as before with the factory wheels you still feel the small bumps and jolts.

Kandied I will email you some better pics as promised and anyone else that would like some...

Again thank you guys!

backspacing and tire size would be nice too... come on now i shared with you. how many times do i have to ask you?



i'd like to know if it's your tire choice that has raised the car or if it really is the wheels. just pm me if you don't want to give the details as i'd like to know.
