Cool Bumper and Body mods

Hey guys, just want your opinion. Keep in mind that I bought a third gen not to be a Stock Freak but to have something Different. I say a pic of this front grille and absolutely want it.

Does that look good, and where the hell can i buy this?

Oh, and i'm possibly considering getting a body kit, anyone know where i can get the thirg gen Turbo kit?

These two kits look like it would make a badass car with a Ram Air hood.

Re: Cool Bumper and Body mods

the first one looks like a custome one-off and not an aftermarket grille


the second one you can find at Hawks (one of the board sponsors) I believe

Cool, thanks. I so have to get a grill done up like that. Not sure where in this City though.

As for the Turbo kit package, i've asked opinions from my Guy friends, half seem to think it looks good, yet not a single girl friend liked it. So meh, i'll forget it.

I have that turbo hood. Harwood makes it. Looks really nice on our cars. I have only seen 1 other car in real life that has that same hood as me. It stands out where the boring regular cowl hood fails to.

Yeah, I was talking about the body kit though. I'm pretty Hard set on getting a Ram Air 2 and building a good look around it.

The first one looks like a regular billet grille with a late model silverado front grille emblem stuck on it.

That hood is freekin amazing. I wanted a Ram Air hood, but I'll gladly invest in one of those. Love the scoops and the cowel.

That grill is sweet, I've never seen one like that where the bars aren't so close together.

the pics don't do it justice. it looks nasty in person.
also the hood in the previous picture is the 82-84 style hood (the 2 indents match the 82-84 z28) i have the 85-92 style.

Whoa, dude, that's a nice setup. Not sure about the SS emblem though, lol. Know what would make your car look even better? Get ultra clear parking lights in the front.
