Small Photoshoot of my 91 LSX Z28

The car is nearing its completion, so I decided to go out and take some amateur pictures with the Canon. Unfortunately, Photobucket KILLED the quality.

Anyways,

Short list of some specs on car
91 Z28

Motor
-Rebuilt LS1
-Big Cam
-Longtubes
-(small supercharger on the shelf, will be installed soon)

Trans
-Rebuilt T56

-Beefed up rear end with 4.10 Gears.

Suspension
-Tubular Kmember, SFC's, springs etc.

-C5 Deep Dish wheels 19x10 all 4 corners
(285/35/19 rear, 275,35,19 front)

-Interior
-4th gen Trans am interior

Still has a little ways to go before its finished, most of which will take place in the neatness of the engine bay. Needs more low too.

Agreed. Slam it, and it will look twice as good. Besides the stance you have a great looking car!

I don't agree. I think the stance is perfect.

I agree, stance is great. Any lower than that makes these cars to hard to drive without scraping on everything.

Re: Small Photoshoot of my 91 LSX Z28

Thanks. Not going to slam it, lol the exhaust would scrape everything. I think it just needs to be dropped about .5-1" in the front since the front has about 3/4" more wheel gap than the rear. Mostly due to the lighter engine.

sailtexas186548, The t-tops are wrapped in carbon fiber. Lack of picture quality makes them look matte.

Maybe I over did it when I said slammed. Dropping it another inch will give you that perfect tucked-tire look. When I say slammed I'm thinking of "nufnuffz28"'s car. He has 19 inch rims like you and his stance looks sweet. Here's nufnuffz28's stance:

K, that looks better. I was going to say I didn't car for the flat black on the top also. Now seeing this closeup, you need to repaint the edge of the t-top.

One other thing, it'd look better without the bowtie on the front, or replaced with a Z28 emblem.

Hey that looks familiar The car is looking great buddy.

Here is the new CF if your not liking the matte look anymore. I couldn't handle the matte looking tops anymore.

Thats a sweet ride! I love everything about it. What is the bullnose ring (sorry I couldn't think of what to call it) in the passenger side foglamp hole?

Re: Small Photoshoot of my 91 LSX Z28

Thanks guys!

BadnBlk, is that a gloss CF wrap. No way. I looked forever for that with no luck. Or is it Hydrodipped?

The "bull ring", is just a tow hook. I'll end up painting it black sooner or later so it will be more subtle.

examples,
