Besides Wheels, and Tires, what is the most important (In your opinion) thing you have done to your third gen to change the looks of your thirdgen???
My grill has made a change for the better for me.....And my BIG white bowtie with ISP in it on the back glass...My car stands out because of that....Tom

 

claybar, polish, and wax...

 

Clay bar is a miracle........I could not beleive the difference......

 

Sorry, all I've ever done is take the Bowling ***** off and replace them with aluminum wheels. They brightened up the whole car. Otherwise its stock and original down to the Bird decals and the wiperblades!

 

Sounds like what i need , Is it worth it? Im thinking of taking my car to my cousins house and doing a all day "cleaning" lol


i figured id get some mothers/finish line products to remove my oxidation and Such

Recomendations?

 

Yes, it is worth it..I had compounded my car, and still the paint had "STUFF" in it....Just didnt feel slick, even after waxxing it.....But man after claying it...WOW, it is slick as glass...Just make sure to use lots of the detailing spray while you are doing it...Also one bar may not be enough to do a good job....It is so cool to watch the clay PULL the crap out of your paint..Be sure and seal, and or wax after you are thru..just do a section at a time, and take your time..Now there are not to many detail shops that can do better than I can..Good luck.Tom

 

New paint was the best thing. Changing to the Z28 grill was second best.

 

Just taking care of the paint. I bought the car in 98 and at the time it was just repainted. I take good care of my paint (weekly wash, clay bar, Zanio) And people always ask me in shock, if its the original paint.

I did just get a ASCD SS hood, and plan on making it look as best as it possibly can. Cause later, I will have wished I did, lol.

 

I replaced the cracking and splitting original aero wing on my Formula with the '91-'92 plastic version along with '92 GTA taillights and a 4th gen bird applique on the nose instead of the decal. The 17" wheels, lowering, black leather interior and TPI swap helped too.

 

I put on a fiberglass ss hood and a covans dash panel with autometer ultralite gauges,and a b&m console megashifter.I've done a few other things but these are the ones that improve the looks.

Alicat.

 

I would say the best apperance mod I have done is Paint and Wheels.

 

spent 1500 (on part after part) on my engine , getting it to run right , i know i should have bought a new engine but by the time i relized how much i spent on it it runs better then show quality =) but still being just a 305 but more then plenty of power for my first car

 

hmm..

new 4 stage paint
custom body work (shaving/smoothing/etc.)
various c/f body pannels
complete custom c/f interior

i could go on... easier to say what i haven't changed. the front bumper and emblem.

 

hood and 92 z28 grill

 

Re-finished the factory wheels. (I know you said anything other than wheels, but I just had to include them)

The best "visual" mod I've done to the car and will remain the ONLY "visual" mod I ever do. These cars look awesome just as they are.

I just looked at that thread of your wheels b4 and after...O..M..F..G, I really need to get off my a$$ and attempt to clean my wheels, not that they'll come out anywhere near that caliber, but wow what a difference.

Anyway, what makes mine stick out, is the red, with a turbo hood on it, flowmaster exhaust, and 255's out back. There isn't another one in town like it

 

Replaced the carpet and upholstery. Here are some pics: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/jimmyj14...60762328057624
(double click pics for larger view, before and afters should be pretty obvious)

 

Not to sidetrack the thread, but damn you did a fantastic job saving that car! Love that color.

 

Yeah, I know what ya mean...BTW, what the hell is stage 4 paint??????????

18inch good looking bird

 

zr1 wheels/275/40/17 lowered it 2 inches, ram air hood, painted head light buckets, z28 grille and factory fog lights

 

Beautiful wheels and I dont even like camaros

As for my appearance stuff

New paint, left the side moldings off, tinted the taillights and laid a big hood decal off a 77' bandit T/A

Bird people hate the decal but 99% of the non car people that see it love it

New carpet, newer seats (00' T/A)

I dont smoke so I took the ashtray out and moved a switch panel in there
I got my engine fan and aux interior lights in there

 

Hood and paint on my car.
