I was never a huge fan of red interiors but that looks really good. Everything is nice and clean.

Thats looks sick. IDK if it'd be too much, but I think if you painted to lines on the rims a similar color red it'd tie the rims and tires into the rest of the car as well. But it's a great looking car as is as well.

I'd put a black or grey interior in that thing. As well as not park it there. I'd be too afraid of a stray basketball hitting the car.

EDIT: I think crome iroc wheels would look hideous on that car. Just never flows with the high rise wing in my eyes.

The red with red looks really good. you don't see that very often. I wondered what it would look like! I have some of those bright red interior pieces in my car and they are quite red! Much better then the older version that was a more burgandy!

If you're gonna ask for opinions on these forums you have to be prepared for some negative replies. Just a FYI, nobody around here holds back

Nice clean car, but like others, I'm not a fan of the red interior. My 91Z had a red interior and I hated it so I gutted it.

excellent looking car red interior aside I think crome irocs look great on any 3rd gen one of my friend's younger brother has them on a 91 bird... they even look killer on that.

when i sold my stock grey seats after getting 4th gen leather, i was very pleased when i was told they were an important part of throwing a red interior away Great looking car tho! i love the 91-92 cars

IMHO I would NOT do chrome irocs, that would look awful on that car. I would if anything just polish the wheels you have, they look perfect on that car. Sometimes less really is more.

What's wrong with that? I don't like some things that came stock on your car, my car, almost everyones car. Why is it stupid for not liking it? Don't get upset that everyone doesn't like everything about your car.

I hate red. Yet I drive a red car.

Nice car, but the driveway pics are always going to look bad, no matter if you have kids' toys in the background or not. Got any pics with a real background?

BTW, I like the red interiors as long as they are clean and not faded to pink.

The roof of a parking ramp in a downtown location on a weekend, a local park and rec area, open parking lot... Basically anywhere that isn't cluttered or have trees or power poles in the background that are going to look like they're growing out of the roof of the car... Look at the background without the car there. What do you see? Anything of interest will distract from the main focus... the car.

yeah, those are some good ideas. I was thinking a park would be good. Now i gotta ignore all the ppl that will stare at me when i take pics of my car somewhere else. I cant stand it, whenever i take a pic of my car, ppl just stare at me like "wtf is he doing...why would you take a picture of a car?" the ppl around here dont have nice cars...just sedans and functional cars so they dont get it
