My 92 Z28

Heres my car....What would make it better, not engine wise. Unless its dress up parts.

Get different wheels would be the #1 thing. Otherwise appearance wise it looks good.

I've seen those wheels in person. They just look "cheap" to me for some reason.

Wheels can totally make the look of a car.

A set of billet wheels would set that thing off................it would put that car on a whole new level. Other than that I would leave the outside alone.

get rid of the stickers on the air intake. If they're not paying you for them to be there, they shouldn't be there. Take them off and polish it up. Everything else looks good unless you want to change to 4th gen seats.

i think it looks great as is...minus the wheels. maybe some 4th gen leather seats and a 4th gen dash and console would do the trick for your interior desires.

z06 chrome would look sick on your car. or c6

Thanks, but i dont have my clear parking lights yet unless you mean side markers....and the stering wheel cover was there when i bought it a few months ago, I really dont know about it. The stickers i will be getting rid of, but the wheels will still be on. I know there not the best, but they look ok for now IMO. And what the crap happened to my other pictures.

You can post as many pictures as you'd like so long as they are hosted elsewhere and not attached to TGO.

It really depends how far you want to go with this car, what look your going for...and what you'll be using the car for. As you know by now...the wheels have got to go...they make the car look very tacky and cheap. If you can't afford a set of bigger billet or aluminum wheels, buy a set of stock 91-92 Z28 or RS wheels. The paint and body seems to be in really good shape....so I probably wouldn't do much to the body (meaning aftermarket hood etc.). One thing I would do is get rid of the red bowtie on the foglight grill. Make one from aliminum...it would match the car alot better. 4th generation seats are very popular for these cars and they seem to be dropping in price quit a bit since I bought mine...so those could always be an option. Anyhow....it just depends what your looking for. So..the question is...what are you looking for? How do you want this car to look? Wheels? Suspension? Interior? Engine?

Well i will change the bowtie, because i've been wanting to do that for a long time. Its an everday driver so i would it to look good, but it doesnt have to be show material....I guess thats why im not concerned with the wheels. I've pretty much got the engine that suits me, would show you a picture but someone deleted them. I dont know about the fourthgen seats, im concerned with the back seat gap. I posted a thread asking for pics of gap, but only got a few.

That answers alot of questions then. Your just wanting a nice looking daily driver...to fix up. You can look at it and be proud...but still drive it everyday. As for the 4th gen seats...to me..my leather SS seats aren't as comfortable as my factory seats were...but they just look so much better. As for the back seat...there is a small gap...but it's really nothing noticable. My car is strictly a show car...and the back seat has never been in issue at any show I have attended. Your 92 looks good, let us know what you decide.

I recomend an antenna delete, but obviously save it for your next paint job.

Wow i really like the color/combo. The stripes look great. I know you dont wanna hear it but the wheels look cheap that and then id simply paint the bowtie teal or body color and be done with her. She looks really clean though be proud!
