NiCe Looking car man ! I think the clear side markers should be #1 priority though I think that will be an even greater apperance mod than the blacked out headlight pockets.. but anyway SWEET ride !

its not you, I bought a new bumper and had a shop spray it along with a new taller cowl hood and the color of the bumper is the correct color for sebring silver metalic. The rest of the car is off a bit from the original because the shop that did it did a real $hitty job. I am thinking of painting it in the early spring but I will have to see how the money is then. If I do repaint it, it will NOT be silver. This is my second silver 91Z. my last burnt to a crisp and I am slowly getting sick of the silver color. for some reason, black keeps popping up for the color.

I am running a B&B tri flow cat back setup from a 4th gen. it will soon be getting replaced with a new Hooker areochamber muffler. THe B&B muffler I have now must have a broken baffle inside of it or something because it doesnt sound all the good.

I like it. The wheels contrast nicely with silver. I think if you do repaint, you should look at dark shadow gray from ford. I think it woudl look killer with those wheels and black buckets.

How does she run>?

I was looking at a dark grwish color at one time. My mind changes to fast. Maybe someone can photshop a darker color fo rme and tint the windows along with painting those buckets in...hint hint
as far as performance. . she wakes up the butterflys in my stomach when I take her out around the neiborhood. She will set sail next spring and hopefully track times wil follow. But yes, she is FAST

the wheels are not grand sports. They are ARE Le Mans wheels. The wheels stick out a bit due to the 4th gen rear and the fact that the rears arer 17x11. I am currently lookng for a way to mill off about 1/4" from the inside hub of the wheel. There is enough material there now do it it without sacificing the integrity of the wheel. This will bring the wheel in 1/4" and hopefully will make it look a lot better. I 3rd gen rear wont work because I think the inside of the tires will rub against the control arms. They are close now with the 4th gen rear and going to a 3rd gen rear will require spacers and I will be back to where I started. The only other solution I have is to extend the lips on the quarter panels out a little bit. I seen this done on another 3rd gen and it looked like the factory did it............or just buy new wheels that actually fit. I got the wheels for $300 so I cant complain.

they where a limited production wheel back in the day. These are the same wheels that where once on the 4th gen camaro z28 that the owner of MBA billet products owns. His car was featured in GMHTP a long time ago. The wheels where all polished when he owned them but I have since painted them black. I have to spend a while polishing the lips. I havent polished them in a long time. I also need to reinstall the black plastic lugnut caps. its on the list of things to do

I never had TT2 wheels on this car. I had them on mylast 91z28 which was also silver. The only pics left of that car are the ones posted by TPI383. I took thos epics back in the day when no one really had digital cameras. I had to have them scanned from a disposable camera and then saved to the disc which is why the pics are little are a little blurry. BTW, those pics of the silver Z with the TT2 and chevy etreme wheels where taken in 1998 or 99.
