Seeing as you've got the glasstek cowl, which i think is killer, BTW.....

uhmmm, oK:

Black with gunmetal stripes and matching gunmetal painted TT2's. Maybe a Hawk's 5" spoiler?

I'd do a silver base w/ gunmetal heritage stripes and TT2's with the centers painted to match the stripes.........similar to Abubaca but I would do a silver base color.

Both combos sound good however I think I def want to have a black car. I like stripes but I think they are kinda overused any other ideas?

Pretty hard to not say copy The Sickness.

Shave the antenna (relocate it - if you use your radio). These cars look so much better without them.
Make your own custom 2nd gen style spoiler like a few others on the board. Get some window tint. Do the 81 z28 fender vent - it looks so sweet on Camaros. Maybe do side stripes like the 1st gen camaros if you DONT put in the fender vent.

i changed my mind i saw you had the 91-92 style gfx. get the 91-92 Z28 high rise spoiler and then some z28 emblems for the rockers. and still do the dark black with bright stripes and ss camaro wheels man that would look sweet.

I was planning on using a set of 86 T/A fender vents and shaving the antena as I dont use the tuner on my radio. I am really torn between making a hawks style spoiler or just doing a 91-92 Z spoiler. The color will be black and if it has any stripes or flames they will be ghosted. I like TT2s and want to use them however it seems like they are heavily used so who knows. The windows will be tinted very dark and the windsheild too if I can find a legal but good appearing tint. I am thinking a black interior with graphite accents (not import style). I really dont have a set plan yet but you guys are helping greatly with options I have not thought about before like the hawks style spoiler. Please give me more ideas you guys are great motivators

It really depends how you will be using your car. If it's for show purposes only, definently go a dark to mild dark color. Mine is driven for show purposes only, so black really isn't much of a problem for me. I would go with a 17+ inch wheel and lower it about 2 inches...that's what gives you the best aggressive stance. I personally love the 91-92 Z28 look...ground effects and spoiler. So, you could add the highrise spoiler or something to that effect. Tinting the windows is always a good thing too.

As far as actual body mods, definently shave the antenna, that's the best thing I've done. Another thing I may end up doing is installing a set of recessed door handles from a malibu or grand prix. The fenders vents are definently different and I do get alot of comments on them, but if I had to do it again, I would leave the fenders stock...because they actually seem to break the car up a bit.

Overall, it just depends how you want your car to look. I built the car to my tastes. Sure, I've gotten alot of good ideas from alot of members on here, but just because someone else does it...doesn't mean you can do it just a little different...and modifiy it the way you want it to look. Hope some of these ideas help.

Those are not actually mine but I did the same thing. I picked up some testors transparent candy apple red and sprayed it over the red and yellow parts of the tail lights then I cleared over the whole tail light to give it a shiney new appearence
