Few new pics of my Z28

Well I finally got around to taking some more pictures after a long dry spell. I did get carried away though and ended up taking 65 with my cyber-shot. Too bad cardomain kills the quality though... Here you go-

Your car looks awesome. I love the wheel selection and the stance. Are you planning any future mods?

Love it. Black cars with blackouts are sweet.

Tip: Check out photobucket.com, its better than cardomain for hosting pictures.

Thanks guys! As far as future mods go that concern the exterior I will be lowering it soon, installing new clear fog lights (just bought them this morning), and possibly making a custom grill. Oh, also replacing my cracked windshield (don't ask) and adding a billet emblem (have it just have to chrome it) to the front nose. I will also have to have the hood and front nose repainted, since they decided to greet a hub cap at 70mph on the interstate. When I do this I will also kill the antenna. Here's another pic...

very nice looking Z28. and that is a deep glossy black nice color. i love the stripes but idk if i would have taken them down the bumper, but they still look good. the emblems give it a nice touch with the chrome wheels. the only thing i would change though is those exhaust tips. but very very nice car man.

Thanks for all the replies!
The wheels are 17in. American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels. The rear wheels are 17x9.5 with chrome centers and polished wells. They have a backspacing of 5.5in. and an offset of 6mm. The front wheels are 17x8 with chrome centers and polished wells. They have a backspacing of 4.5in. and a 0mm offset. The tires are Fuzion ZRI's, 275/40/17 and 245/45/17 respectively.
The emblems are going to be replaced with billet ones I bought from Xlr8torz28 as soon as I have them. I will be having these chromed. I like my tips, so I'll be keeping them. I may have the stripes on the hood continue all the way down when I have the paint fixed. Also considering incorporating and checker pattern on the stripes on the hood, or possibly repainting the whole car with an entirely different scheme...
Thanks again guys!

looks sweet!

a checkered/stripe pattern on the hood, something like the 35ths would look killer IMHO...

I had those same GTS blackouts on my camaro (untill they were stolen ) anyway, those white stickers on them really bothered me so i took them off with some goo-gone and a razor blade.

Other than that the car looks perfect. I'm jealous of all these black cars, but i guess the grass is always greener

Thanks once more for all the replies! Yeah, I've been trying to create some checker patterns that would flow well with the stripes and the lines of the SS hood. If anyone has a cool idea or photoshop for a patter, please share here or shoot me a pm... I did remove my windshield banner and huge rear window bowtie, but I'm still unsure wether I want to get rid of the GTS stickers. They do match the stripes... I should probably take a poll. Here's one last photo- A nice looking white GTA saw me taking photos of my car and pulled up to watch. I wanted to try and get a couple neat shots of my car and his together, but I only managed to get off two shots before he reved his engine and took off. Here's one of them...
