Muy simpatico. Very nice. I like seeing older cars like ours that have been obviously well cared for.Looks very clean and crisp. With the white paint especialy, looks very classy.

At first I was going to say it would look better stock. Then I saw your pics and realized that the rims really did compliment the color of your car and everything. Looks good. Im getting my new 92 Z28 Rims in a week, can't wait for that either!

would you believe that i painted the car myself for $80. yes you read that right, eighty dollars. i borrowed a friends air comp, and he had a paint job so i figured id give it a try, first paint job i ever did and didnt get ONE single run or any orange peel at all. i did all the body work myself too. this is what it looked like after i let my brother borrow the car for 1 DAY.

much thanks for the comments, and thank you to everyone else for the comments. i wanted 91-92 rims but i picked up these since i had a 4th gen rear, the 91-92 wouldve stuck out like the stockers. they are some slick looking rims though, post a pic of em when you get it put on!

its been over a year, i cant remember the exact price on everything, but the total was around 80 bucks. i got the paint locally through an auto supply store, and lots of masking tape, and used some news papers to mask stuff off like the windows. my friend already had a automotive spray gun and a good air compressor so that cut down on cost big time. it took me one full day to get it done just right, then i let it sit for 2 days before driving it

What kind of spacers did you use for those wheels? I would like to know, because I have 4 sets of 4 Gen wheels from Camaros and Firebirds. I would like to put a set on my 87 TA.
