Heres what i have done:
- 25th aniversary stripes, red with black outline
- Iroc rocker pannel stripes, black and red
- Z28 grill with lights
- taillight blackouts
- chrome tip exaust
- ZR1 17x9 chrome wheels
- painted calibers and drums red
- used rear bumber badge on passanger side dash in place of crappy old one
- solor wing on rear window
- tinted glass
- clear side markers
- leather interior accesories


going to do:
- paint head light "caves" black
- 4th gen seats
- white face gauges
- LT1 engine (from 4th gen Z28)

Thats as much as i can remember, if you wants pics of anything let me know. I would suggest a 91-92 Z28 blister hood.

here is a pic of the blister hood. It was on 91-92 Z28. It is the same hood as the iroc with loovers, but insted of loovers there are the "blisters". They are usally the same color as the car, but this guy did them black. (not my car)

You're not going to find too many people who like body kits, or wings on these cars. Here's some pics, tint, blackouts, and front blackout tint spray.

Also I'd say definately get the SS hood, if I had the money I would, this one was photoshopped on. Also, if you have the money to get your car to shine get Zaino, if money is an issue, I find that Meguiar's Cleaner Wax is the best out there for the money.

If by different, you mean Fast and the Furious different, get a different car. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I hate to see American cars (even Mustangs) with the "*****" stuff. Got any pics of your car? My first car was also a 92 RS. Hope ya like it

Not exactly sure, but the stuff you would need for Zaino would be around $70 probably. The Meguiar's Cleaner Wax is only $5, and I also got step 2 (polish) and step 3(carnuba wax) for $5 each. So that's about $20 by the time you buy a clay bar compared to the Zaino. Not saying Meguiar's is better, just that for the price I don't think it can be beat.

Also you have to apply about 4-5 coats of Zaino, waiting a few hourse in between. Very time consuming, Meguiar's you don't, just something to think about.

No problem and by being a big help, my GF says I'm addicted, but there's not much else to do up here at this college that's in the middle of nowhere.
