Wanted: comments on my car, good or bad.

Just wondering what you guys and gals think of my 92 Z-28. Just got it painted a couple of months ago. The one pic, I forgot to straighten the wheel. Thanks for your replys.

Yeah the original was shot. Just waiting for my fiance to let me spend $50 for the two rear emblems. Feels like I'm married already.

Not a 'maro guy, but I like it, man. nice car Did you just paint? and is that the hi-rise 91-92 spoiler, or is it higher than normal to my un-educated eye?

Its the stock spoiler and I had it painted in March by one guy. He painted it the original arctic white and added 1992 medium mettalic gray stripes. He had it done in six days and done a very professional job. I was very pleased for $2500.

What would you guys put on the windshield. I wont put CAMARO or just leave it without anything. Has to be an original thought. How about FOR SALE across the windshield, oh yeah some idiot did that already, HA HA.

Theres a blue riced out Civic running around here with a FOR SALE windshield sticker. I thought it was pretty funny to see. Anyway, as for your car, looks very nice. I like the color combo. Leave the windshield sticker. That's not rice to me cause its not saying the car is something its not. Nice ride.

Never mind the for sale sign. Its no longer for sale. I decided to keep it. Actually my fiance talked me out of it, figure that out. But all we were getting was a bunch of high school spoiled brats who wanted to spend mom and dads money. Ive got too much stuck into it to let a kid wreck it. Not saying all kids are like this, but I sure was and still am a little bit. That is wreckless not spoiled, far from that. Everything I put into any car was out of my back pocket.

Hey Rod,

I got that beat. My body was selling his roc and I joked with my wife that I was going to buy it. She said "great idea". I thought I was gonna fall out of the bed. Gave him the check the next day and the project began!

Real nice, I'm a T/A guy but that is real clean. I like the t-tops (have 'em also) and the stripes. the bow tie on the back is the just the right size, now a small thirdgen.org sticker just above it...

I put the bowtie so that when your behind me you can see it between the decklid and spoiler. I'll have to post a pic from behind.

Nice car, but in 1991 and 1992 I thought only hard top cars were available with the 350

Yeah, I put a 355 in it. Just about everything in the drivetrain is new. Except flexplate, rearend, and most of the fuel injection unit.

Really nice car man! Get those bumper emblems and you will be set. Oh by the way I would keep the 25th Anniversary ont the winshield adds a nice touch, just my 2 cents worth.

Looks pretty good! If it were me, I'd get rid of the windshield decal, does'nt make it look bad, I'd just rather not have it. Nice Ride!

Sweet, wish it was mine. I think the spoiler looks taller because of the stripes, it makes your eyes trace the lines differently... Sorry i did a lot of research on optics a few years back lol. It looks the same size as normal in the side shot IMO. Glad your keeping it!

Nice car. I agree with the others though, lose the banner sticker (personal thing, I can't stand them. At most, put a piece of tint)... and put the emblems back on, very nice car.

I put the car in a carshow yesterday, but didn't place in the top three. It got docked for the interior, so I need to get a upper console w/lid, shift indicator plate, fourth gen leather seat, and dash pad. So if anybody has these in mint condition email me.
