Wash and Buffed the '92 today

Well since the sun came out and I had the day off with pay I got the '92 nice and clean. Threw a little Megs on and followed with a lite buff. The rims are coming off next month. I have the gold painted ones (polished) from the Polo Heritages going on. New Goodyear rubbergoing on too, just waiting for all of the bad weather to go away.

Anyway what does everyone think?

All '92 Z28's and RS Heritages came with the badge. Someone probably took yours off. You can find a new one on ebay. Probably for $150. Hot item.

The sticker is from ThirdGen Fest '06 in Illinois. go to the No INdiana/So. Chicago board and look up one of the mods LFN AT U. He sells them and I believe he has some left. They are like $5.00

I am saying that '92 Z28's and Heritage RS' left the factory with the Heritage badge on them. Base RS' did not. Those badges are far and few and very high priced on ebay.

Thanks for the compliment. I love the leather. I won't be doing 4th gen leather in a third gen.

Probably just the angle I took the pics. I feel the car is too low. I am always scraping something with the air dam.

Very sharp! I personally would keep the wheels you have now over the others but that's just me..

92 Heritage Edition cars ONLY got the rear decklid badge. All 92's had the 25th badge on the dash but it had to be a true Z03 heritage edition car (with stripes) to have the decklid badge..regardless of it being a Z28 or an RS.

A much better way of saying than I did. Thanks.

I have the same wheels they are just polished and painted. If once I put them on and I don't like them then they are coming off.

Contact LFN AT U by pmail (moderator of the So. Indiana/No. Chicago forum)or go to Thirdgenranch.com. I am pretty sure he has some left over.

Umm, not sure about that? My 92 is NOT a heritage, but does have the trunk badge.

That means someone added it. It did not come from the factory like that. You can tell by where it is placed. The factory had the badges placed more to the right.

That's a Illinois temp. Waiting on my Vanity plate to be approved so I don't have to put the 7 numbered one they sent me. I got to the end of April.

I love your interior. but I think the reason the rims look kinda funny is because the tires are too skinny. I think they'd look better with some wider tires. But anyway, nice car.

It seems a lot of people don't have the interior I have. Must be "rare" or at least different. The only thing grey is the seats and door panels. Everything else is black. These seats even have Camaro pressed into the leather.
