Re: SS

if you're really going for a 'what if' i'm not so sure that they would have given it a cowl hood, perhaps they would have given the SS or stingray hood that some people have. or they would have given a small cowl with the flaps on our hoods (possibly functional like the first couple years). or maybe even something similar to the daytona iroc hood

i think white and black are really clean, white has grown on me a lot.

personally i dont like those spoilers (though thats fine many people do) i would have slapped on the 3" or 5" hawks spoiler.

the black headlight buckets have grown on me as well, though body colored are cool too.

in the end its your ride so do whatever you'll enjoy looking at every day

would go with the ss hood with a grill mesh insert to make it functional and the 5" spoiler from hawks the buckets would be black same as the iroc not sure on color combination yet

Re: SS

They would look like an Iroc! It was more less the "SS" package. ....but for sake of argument, if they had the iroc, AND the SS? Hmmmm...... I like the heritage 91-92 Z28's. Rally stripes, hood and the hi rise wing. ...Not a fan of the hockey stripes on the thirdgen. ...I do like cowl hoods. LOVE the glasstek 2" cowl.
